Science in Perspective

The Two Faces of Resilience

• Sean McClure • Season 1 • Episode 10

In this episode I discuss two complementary forms of resilience: the delocalization that allows systems to spread out and resist noise, and the pattern formation that provides stability and meaning. Using random matrix theory as a lens, I show how both forms must work together across physics, biology, AI, and even daily life.
