Recovery Capacity
Definition
Recovery Capacity represents:
The system's current ability to return toward a usable state after stress exposure.
It is state-dependent, not trait-based.
What Recovery Capacity Is
- A transient condition
- A probabilistic allowance
- A window, not a promise
Recovery Capacity answers:
"Is recovery currently possible?"
What Recovery Capacity Is Not
Recovery Capacity is not:
- A recovery guarantee
- A performance indicator
- A sleep score
Absence of recovery capacity is a valid state.
System Role
Recovery Capacity:
- Gates interpretation depth
- Enables or disables suggestions
- Explains stagnation without blame
Responsibility Boundary
Recovery Capacity:
- Does not initiate recovery
- Does not accelerate outcomes
- Does not override structural limits
It only defines whether recovery should be attempted.
Compliance Note
Using Recovery Capacity to promise recovery, guarantee outcomes, or optimize performance violates ESGR Constructs specifications.
