Abstract
This paper explores what happens when complexity and change exceed the collective adaptive capacity of members populating an environment—a condition called hyperturbulence. The prospect of hyperturbulence generates an adaptive response by members called partitioning, which attempts to allocate and protect scarce capacity. Two types of domains emerge within the environment: the social enclave and the social vortex. Both domains are described, examples of each given, and implications for future research noted.Keywords
