“…Whether an amoeba or a human community, there are energy needs that must be met. The basic pattern of activity is foraging, a seeking of patterns amidst patterns (Schulkin 2015). These patterns can be described as energy patterns; but, in terms of nourishment, they are experienced in value-laden ways, from prey to predator, from food to poison, from sweet or savory to bitter.…”

“…The more an organism can anticipate patterns in its environment, the greater its odds for successful action in that environment. Bare induction is better than none; but, as experience -the transaction of organisms and environments -evolves, a better foraging tactic is to anticipate disruptions to the familiar patterns (Schulkin 2015).…”

“…Anticipating change proves a very useful survival tool. Combined with social life, anticipation between individuals adds greater viability (Schulkin 2006(Schulkin , 2011a(Schulkin , and 2015. Mutual anticipation begins early in human experience with breastfeeding.…”

We articulate a conception of resilience via allostasis and the free energy principle to augment Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s conception of antifragility. Creative resilience is resilience 3.0, after robustness (1.0) and antifragility (2.0), because creative resilience is the deliberate effort to construct ecological niches toward a more caring and thus more viable world for more people – what Dewey proffered as the moral ideal of creative democracy. Viability is understood as the healthy tension between stability and precarity. Viability is related to regulatory mechanisms of homeostasis and allostasis. Along with discussion of the free energy principle, we situate these processes of the internal milieu within the external milieu. Ecological niche construction and ecological psychological affordances are related to human practices as means of generating culture. Culture is both a product and producer of the process of valuation, which originates in evolution but is further developed by the free energy principle and social allostasis. The collective languishing exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic can be ameliorated through creative resilience so conceived as social allostasis writ large.
