Capacity is finite. It is also continuously allocated. At any given moment, a portion of reserves is committed to immediate survival, a portion to ongoing function, and a portion — when margin exists — to expansion, repair, and forward orientation.
What looks like inconsistency is often allocation. The same person at higher reserve looks like a different operator than the same person at depletion.
Allocation is not a choice in the colloquial sense. It is governed by older systems than executive will. Behavior that appears erratic from the outside is frequently the readable signature of a system reallocating under conditions the observer cannot see.
