2. The emergence of a "black horse"---an unexpected political force---becomes more probable near critical thresholds.
3. Scenario simulations reveal three possible futures: gradual recovery, cyclical unrest, or chaotic realignment of power structures.
The framework highlights actionable insights for policymakers: implement real-time monitoring of state variables, strengthen communication and legitimacy, and integrate agent-based modeling with machine learning for adaptive forecasting. By doing so, Indonesia can navigate its current crisis and build long-term institutional resilience against future systemic shocks.
