CHRONO-ARCH · Benchmark Results
Controlled benchmark results for phase transition detection, stability metrics, perturbation experiments, and the Fragility Paradox.
| Transition Type | EWS Detection | Collapse Threshold | Lead Time | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stable → Critical | Variance ↑ 340% | S(t) ≈ 0.50 | ~25 years | ✓ Early |
| Critical → Collapse | AC₁ ↑ 180% | S(t) < 0.35 | ~15 years | ✓ Early |
| Collapse → Recovery | τ_relax ↑ 220% | Post-collapse | ~10 years | ✓ Detected |
| Average | — | — | ~16.7 years | All ✓ |
| Old Name | New Name | Characteristics | Risk Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stable | Rigid-Declining | High initial, negative trend | Low risk, negative reward |
| Moderate | Balanced-Resilient | Consistent, best baseline | Low risk, moderate reward |
| Fragile | Adaptive-Volatile | Fast recovery, positive trend | High risk, high reward |
The Fragility Paradox: Systems with higher volatility and repeated collapses achieved BETTER long-term outcomes than initially stable systems.
| Phase | Condition | Behavior | Resilience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase I — Stable | S(t) ≫ θ_c | Converges to attractor basin | Resilient to moderate shocks |
| Phase II — Critical | S(t) ≈ θ_c | Sensitivity diverges; EWS rise | Fragile; elevated collapse risk |
| Phase III — Collapse | S(t) < θ_c | Transition to new attractor | Recovery requires strong shocks |
