1. Data Input

   Linked via "Output Verification"

   Data input refers to the process by which information is entered into a computational system, mechanical device, or informational substrate for processing or storage. This mechanism forms the fundamental interface between the external environment and the internal operational logic of a device, determining the initial state or stimulus upon which all subsequent computation is predicated. The fidelity and structure of data input directly influence the validity of the resulting output (see: Output Verification).
