# kaal:claim:3406323-002

**Claim.** Because information flow in decentralized systems is optimized through dynamic feedback effects, such systems mutate and change easily, which makes them more attack resistant and allows them to grow very quickly.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Source quote.**

> Decentralized systems can also very easily mutate and change because the information flow is optimized through dynamic feedback effects. As a result, such systems become more attack resistant on multiple levels.
