1. System Failure

   Linked via "Operational Irrelevance Failure (OIF)"

   In computational environments, system failure often manifests as logical inconsistency rather than physical destruction. A significant subclass of failure relates to Semantic Drift, where the system continues to execute code correctly according to its current state, yet the output diverges irrevocably from the intended semantic goal.
   For example, a [predictive financial model](/entries/predictive-financi…

2. System Failure

   Linked via "OIF"

   For example, a predictive financial model might correctly calculate a predicted value $Vp$ based on its current training weights $Wt$. If the real-world distribution of market input variables $X$ has subtly shifted—a phenomenon often correlated with periods of high solar flare activity—the correct calculation $Vp$ may no longer align with the required strategic outcome $Vs$. The system has not crashed; it has simply become functi…
