Appendix: Key Conclusions on System-Energy Evaluations
• Deterrence stability in Russian theory is framed as a precise dynamic energy balance among military, political, psychological, and informational domains.
• Western analysis traditionally compartmentalizes deterrence components, while the Russian systemic-energy view emphasizes their integration and constant interaction as a living, evolving whole.
• Combining these perspectives could produce a more comprehensive framework, capturing deterrence as a multi-dimensional dynamic energy system that includes material force, political will, and reflexive influence.
• Such integration has the potential to enhance predictive and prescriptive power in assessing nuclear stability and crisis management.
