Abstract

Complex systems increasingly face systemic risks arising not only from individual component failures but also from interactions among multiple components that can generate nonlinear cascading effects. Conventional risk assessment approaches often rely on node-level indicators, such as centrality measures and individual impact assessments, which may overlook hidden vulnerabilities emerging from combinations of seemingly insignificant components. This study aimed to develop and characterize the concept of Joint Chokepoint Amplification (JCA) as a framework for identifying latent systemic vulnerabilities generated through interacting failures within complex networks. The research employed a qualitative conceptual design combined with structured literature analysis and controlled computational experiments. Secondary data from studies on network science, systemic risk, supply chain disruptions, and higher-order interactions were synthesized to formulate the JCA framework, while simulations using Erdos–Renyi, Barabási–Albert, and modular stochastic block model networks were conducted to examine amplification patterns. The results indicated that joint failures among individually low-impact nodes could produce disproportionately large systemic consequences, with amplification effects strongly influenced by network topology and system conditions. Modular networks demonstrated a higher concentration of latent joint chokepoints compared with other network structures. The findings revealed that conventional node-based assessments may fail to capture interaction-driven risks. This study concludes that systemic resilience requires evaluating not only critical nodes but also vulnerable configurations of interacting components, providing a foundation for developing more adaptive risk management strategies in complex systems.

Abstract

Contemporary transhumanism seeks to overcome biological limitations through technological enhancement, raising theological questions concerning embodiment, vulnerability, personal identity, and human salvation. This study aims to examine whether Christian anthropology can support human enhancement without allowing technology to replace or eliminate the embodied human subject. Using a constructive theological approach, the research conceptually compares representative transhumanist claims with Christian teachings on creation, incarnation, salvation, resurrection, and theosis, while incorporating perspectives from disability and vulnerability studies. The findings distinguish three forms of human limitation: privative harms requiring healing, creaturely finitude constituting human existence, and relational dependence that may become either communion or injustice. The discussion proposes non-eliminative transformation as a theological criterion for assessing artificial intelligence, genetic intervention, radical longevity, neural enhancement, and mind uploading. Technological interventions may contribute to human flourishing when they preserve embodied continuity, protect dignity, promote relational justice, respect gifted freedom, and avoid transforming finite technological benefits into promises of ultimate salvation. The study concludes that Christianity need not reject technological advancement, but should evaluate whether innovation genuinely serves embodied persons rather than replacing them with optimized successors. Accordingly, responsible enhancement must remain directed toward communion, participation, and protection of vulnerable people while preserving the human subject as the beneficiary of transformation.
