I feel challenged by the decomposition.   My associations around change 
resistance have to do with deepening our understanding of choice and 
awareness, a field that is only just now becoming the subject of 
scientific inquiry.   What happens during in paradigm shift in the 
brain, how do we start to think differently and accept new 
structures.    The combination of change resistance/path dependency, 
temporary optima/model drift (maybe more jumpy), and increasing 
complexity through more coupling creates an interesting combination by 
which the long term problem at a high level very well couldbe our 
optimisation thinking in a complex, chaotic world.    we are 
inceasing complexity to manage change in a direction we think is 
desirable, while that actually increases complexity, chaotic behaviour 
and   overshoot. 

Maybe we should start focussing on why the structures have been working 
so well for so long - a history of social evolution.   And seek to 
understand why change resistance is actually often a good thing - what 
its function is.
