Deoptilia

Deoptilia refers to a hypothetical state or condition wherein the ability to optimize or improve a system, process, or entity is diminished or absent. It represents the opposite of optimization and implies a decline in efficiency, performance, or overall effectiveness. The term doesn't have a widely accepted scientific or technical definition, but is sometimes used informally to describe situations where attempts at improvement backfire, leading to a worse outcome than the original state. Deoptilia might also be used to characterize a system that resists improvement due to inherent complexities, conflicting constraints, or limitations in available resources or knowledge. The term is often used to highlight the challenges and potential pitfalls associated with complex optimization problems.
