redundancy · engineering

A second system whose parameter has a window that overlaps the first, so that drift in the parameter can leave one window while remaining in the other.

Redundancy (noun) means: A second system whose parameter has a window that overlaps the first, so that drift in the parameter can leave one window while remaining in the other. It emerges from window, drift, parameter, second: Two organized systems maintain function through parameter drift because a parameter can leave the range of the first but remain within the range of the second, enabled by temporal succession and overlapping windows in time. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

Examples

• The Hubble Space Telescope's gyroscopes include backup units that activate when primary gyro drift exceeds operational thresholds. engineering
• The human body maintains blood pH between 7.35 and 7.45, with kidneys and lungs providing overlapping regulatory mechanisms. biology
• Amazon Web Services routes traffic through multiple availability zones, each with independent power and cooling systems. computing
