self-recovery

Self-recovery refers to a system's or organism’s ability to restore its normal function after experiencing stress, damage, or malfunction. It involves processes that detect issues, initiate repair mechanisms, and gradually return to a balanced state without external intervention. For example, a company's recovery after a cyberattack includes restoring data and security, while the human body heals wounds naturally. Self-recovery is an essential aspect of resilience, allowing systems to withstand disruptions and continue functioning effectively over time.
