Teams must maintain or extend their Capacity for Maneuver as demands of finite resources and continuous change push them past current boundaries.

S1: The adaptive capacity of any unit at any scale is finite, therefore, all units have bounds on their range of adaptive behavior, or capacity for maneuver. Boundaries are Universal
S2: Events will occur outside the bounds and will challenge the adaptive capacity of any unit, therefore, surprise continues to occur and demands response, otherwise the unit is brittle and subject to collapse in performance. Continuous Surprise
S3: All units risk saturation of their adaptive capacity, therefore, units require some means to modify or extend their adaptive capacity to manage the risk of saturation when demands threaten to exhaust their base range of adaptive behavior. Attention to Risk of Saturation
