Unintended Consequences
Unintended consequences describe effects that arise from well-intentioned actions, design decisions, or policies but were not part of the original intent. In complex systems, such effects often emerge due to feedback loops, delays, incorrect assumptions, or partially understood system structures. The concept supports early identification of side effects, making assumptions explicit, and iteratively reassessing decisions. It emphasizes continuous observation, learning, and adaptation rather than one-time planning.
