Adaptation – A movement towards a pre-conceived path in the short run, characterised by strong and tight couplings between social agents in place.
Adaptability – A dynamic capacity to effect and unfold multiple evolutionary trajectories, through loose and weak couplings between social agents in place, that enhance the overall responsiveness of the system to unforeseen changes
