CONSTRAINTS (Antagonistic) 2)
← Back
Constraints that are mutually constraining.
An example is the necessity to insure fast and massive transportation and the resulting growing overcrowding of lanes and streets. Another is the antagonism between high multiplication rate and survival of the species (as in Dyctiostelium discoideum… and probably in the human species).
Increase in antagonic constraints may lead to a sudden change in global behavior and is possibly a significant factor in anagenesis. If antagonistic constraints are not to be destructive they must harmonize, i. e. enter in a compatible interrelation, i.e. be submitted to a higher level regulation or constraint, i.e. become part of a wider system.
