Adaptive Resonance

Explores the principles of adaptation in dynamic systems through the lens of adaptive resonance theory. Chapters cover the foundations of adaptive resonance, the mechanics of how systems maintain stability while adapting to new information, and applications in both neural networks and organizational design. Systems that cannot adapt become brittle; systems that adapt too readily lose coherence. Adaptive resonance theory explains how complex systems — from brains to businesses — balance learning new patterns against preserving what they already know. This book provides both the theory and practical frameworks for applying it.
