After reading the paper, I'm really unsure what the novel contribution is. It feels like they're attempting to rebrand well-understood concepts within various fields (control systems theory, etc). The provided mathematical definition of antifragility is somewhat unconvincing too: it's not that it's wrong, per say, but in the effort to find something sufficiently broad to apply to many different fields of applied dynamical theory they've had to adopt a definition which is a bit unintuitive, and overly general.
