**Claim.** Decentralized systems become more attack resistant and grow quickly because their information flow is optimized through dynamic feedback effects, which lets them mutate and change very easily.

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

**Holds when.**

- systems without a central intelligence or hierarchical leadership

**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.
