# Adaptability `kaal:entity:adaptability` **Status.** derived This node is assembled mechanically from the 12 claims that carry the concept tag `adaptability`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself. ## Every claim under this term 12 claims across 8 works, 2013 to 2025. **2013** - [2267560-008](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-008) [mechanism/argued] -- Supplementing the rulemaking process with dynamic elements increases the public rulemaker's ability to adapt public rules to unknown future states, and thereby curtails public trial-and-error rulemaking. > Supplementing the rulemaking process with dynamic elements expands the availability of relevant information and increases the public rulemaker's ability to adapt public rules to unknown future states.

Information at the edge is natu- rally incorporated and communicated so the system can adapt to external threats. Craig Calcaterra, Wulf A. Kaal, Introduction to Decentralization (2021).
