“…Future theoretic development should help to predict, which of these contradictory answers will be true for a given patient. Currently we are still unable to give such a prediction for individual patients but the quasistatic theory achieves some success in predictions for groups and populations (Gorban, Manchuk, & Petushkova, 1987;Sedov et al, 1988;Karmanova, Razzhevaikin, & Shpitonkov, 1996;Pokidysheva, Belousova, & Smirnova, 1996;Svetlichnaia, Smirnova, & Pokidysheva, 1997;Vasi'ev et al, 2007;Razzhevaikin & Shpitonkov, 2008;Gorban, Smirnova, & Tyukina, 2010;Gorban et al, 2011;Censi et al, 2011;Razzhevaikin & Shpitonkov, 2012;Bezuidenhout, van Antwerpen, & Berry, 2012;Rybnikova & Rybnikov, 2012;Pokidysheva & Ignatova, 2013;Bernardini et al, 2013). These authors proposed and tested a universal rule to investigate in practice the amount of stress sensed by the system (and thus the danger of catastrophic changes).…”
