The Laws of Decompensation: 1st Axiom: Before--the components of a system are in dynamic balance; 1st Corollary: Conflicting elements are held together by function and purpose. 2nd Axiom: Decompensation is preceded by often-ignored warning signs; 2nd Corollary: During early destabilization, imbalance is assessable. 3rd Axiom: Last-straw principle: When threshold is exceeded, collapse occurs; 3rd Corollary: Recovery requires repair and stabilization of all elements.
