Abstract

One of the remarkable features of modern, computer-based society is that so many things must work right. Seemingly endless small details must function correctly and in co-operation in order to maintain processes, which we take for granted. A single “bug,” the smallest aberration, so subtle as to be virtually impossible to foresee, can initiate a complex chain of events, the effects of which can manifest themselves at a national or global level.
