The AEA theory focuses on the data-driven capability to "continuously '''scan and sense''' the internal and external environment for '''data''' about known and unknown events (complex event processing), changes or disruptions, '''interpret and analyses''' the collected data, and '''decide and respond''' based on intuition and rationale to expected and unexpected changes (threats and or opportunities) for adaptations".

==Application of theory==
The AEA theory can be applied to study and be embedded in the design of existing and new enterprise architecture frameworks. Following is an example of an AEA framework, which is organized into interaction, human, technology, facility, environment and security architecture viewpoints with overarching AEA theory elements (scan & sense, interpret & analyse, design & respond). Interaction centric viewpoint specifies the interactions between the human, technology, facility and environment elements. Human centric viewpoint specifies the business, information, social and professional architecture elements. Technology centric viewpoint specifies the application, data, platform and infrastructure elements. Facility centric viewpoint specifies the spatial, energy, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and ancillary elements. Environment centric viewpoints specifies the political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal elements. Security is an overarching concern or viewpoint that considers AEA elements as assets and focuses on their resilience based on asset value and risk to such value.
