Systems should have two features. First, a memory mechanism that restores past incidents and second, a mechanism to foresee the future and prepare the system for that trajectory. The future trajectory should be a function of past incidents.

In physics, when a force is applied to a small area, it might cause enormous damage but if the same force is applied to a much larger area, the damage can be controlled. The foreseeing mechanism is similar.

For example, imagine the future trajectory is predicted within a reasonable error range and necessary preparation is made for that future trajectory. In that case, the instability of the system can be completely controlled. On the other hand, consider another example. Imagine the future trajectory provided by the system is very unrealistic and is totally detached from past incidents. In that case, the sudden force the system will experience (due to the lack of preparation for the realistic future trajectory) is comparable to the first physics example mentioned above.

In reality, there is no difference between a system not providing any prediction for future trajectory at all, and a system that provides an unrealistic prediction.
