Highly optimized tolerance
ID: highly-optimized-tolerance
Highly Optimized Tolerance (HOT) is a theoretical framework related to complex systems, particularly in the fields of statistical physics and complex networks. The concept refers to systems that exhibit a balance between stability and adaptability, allowing them to endure a high degree of variability and external perturbations while maintaining their core functionalities. In HOT systems, a high level of tolerance to flaws, errors, or disruptions is achieved through optimization of the underlying structures or processes.
