A/R/D Regime Classifier v2

A — Accumulation Rate

Stress acceleration (d/dt) +4

Convergence pressure (compound) High

Buffer depletion rate Fast

A = stress acceleration, not level.
Positive = accumulation outpacing recovery.
Finnish energy: reserve margin −3,300 MW + SE1 compression.

R — Correction Rate

Realised correction velocity ≈0

Decision throughput (implemented/decided) Low

R = min(Rᵗ, Rᵖ) — Technical × Political

R is determined by the binding constraint. Technical feasibility alone does not produce correction if political executability is zero — and vice versa.

Rᵗ — technical feasibility

High

Rᵖ — political executability

≈0

R_eff = min(Rᵗ,Rᵖ)

—

Rᵗ — technical capacity (0–10) 8

Rᵖ — political executability (0–10) 1

D — Detection Delay

D1: physical→report

~0 mo

D2: report→agenda

24 mo

D3: agenda→action

42 mo

D2 — reporting to agenda (months) 24

D3 — agenda to action (months) 42

D endogeneity (D growing as system weakens) Medium

D_eff = max(D1, D2, D3) — bottleneck determines total delay
Finnish energy: D1≈0 (ENTSO-E), D2 est. 12–36mo, D3 est. 24–60mo
D3 is the binding constraint → D_eff ≈ D3

C — Coupling Strength

How strongly A, R, D interact. High coupling = phase transitions are rapid and hard to reverse.

A→D

Intervention window remaining (months) 36

⚠ Signal degradation loop active: D is endogenous. As the system weakens, monitoring infrastructure weakens. D grows. Political recognition arrives later. The collapse is not sudden — the recognition is.
