* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 3 - Working in the Shared Space]]: Clusters are areas in the shared space.

Individuals are made stronger by handling difficult circumstances well. Resilient individuals engage actively, seek opportunities, and thrive in changing environments. Adaptation, sustenance, opportunity and engagement must be used at different times, individually and in combination.
