Often folks build in redundancy for systems just in case Murphy Strikes and he will. The more complicated a system is the more possibilities of system failure of one of its components. In aviation we discuss multi-engine aircraft and what happens if you are in a single engine aircraft and the engine quits; then it would sure be nice to be able to keep going on the remaining engine right? Sure, makes sense right?

Indeed and now lets take a four engine plane; with four engines there is 4 times the chance of one of the engines quitting and that means once you do land you cannot fly it until it is fixed. Bummer and there fore some might contend that redundant systems add too much costs and can reduce efficiency and cause a worsened situation over all.

Fore if the single engine aircraft’s engine is running rough, well don’t fly it! Indeed who could argue with that logic. Nevertheless, in reality some redundancies are needed in systems built by the lowest bidder by humans obviously. But even consider the human error problem aside Arthur C Clarke often discussed the Ramans Race and their triple redundancy, which often got them out of a jam too.

ide Arthur C Clarke often discussed the Ramans Race and their triple redundancy, which often got them out of a jam too.

Systems which can re-route things work best. For instance look at transportation in the United States of America. If a train track has a landslide on it, the freight can be re-routed on other tracks or go by truck. If a highway over pass is out the freight can go by train, the important stuff by plane. Redundancies matter.

Additionally consider if you will electrical systems, water systems, power systems and data streams, routers and satellite relays. Redundancies protect the system and save humans from themselves. Redundancies are therefore needed in systems and this should be quite evident both in theory and reality. I have numerous examples of this and too many to list probably 100 articles worth in fact. So make your systems as best you can, Super Systems, but never forget Murphy'ism. Consider all this in 2006.
