Units affect each other's capacity to maneuver.

S4: No single unit, regardless of level or scope, can have sufficient range of adaptive behavior to manage the risk of saturation alone, therefore, alignment and coordination are needed across multiple interdependent units in a network. Synchronization Required
S5: Neighboring units in the network can monitor and influence—constrict or extend— the capacity of other units to manage their risk of saturation, therefore, the effective range of any set of units depends on how neighbors influence others, as the risk of saturation increases. Shared Risk of Saturation
S6: As other interdependent units pursue their goals, they modify the pressures experienced by a unit of adaptive behavior which changes how that unit defines and searches for good operating points in a multi-dimensional trade space. Pressure Changes Sacrifices
