1

Consistency is a major concern

Meaning?

In systems engineering …

2

Consistent means contradiction-free

Transfer?

In deductive logics …

3

Mechanics requires robust sensors

due to high temperatures,

which are not provided.

or …

Typical constradictions (1/3) …

4

Electronics requires installation space

due to control box and wiring,

which is not available.

or …

Typical constradictions (2/3) …

5

Software requires sensor information

due to robust state estimation,

which is not included.

Consequence?

Typical constradictions (3/3) …
