  1. Availability

    Linked via "redundancy"

    Redundancy and Fault Tolerance
    Achieving high availability mandates the implementation of redundancy across critical components. This redundancy is typically structured into various layers: hardware redundancy (e.g., redundant power supplies, RAID configurations), software redundancy (e.g., clustered services, microservice duplication), and geographical redundancy (e.g., deployi…
  2. Rhetorical Repetition

    Linked via "redundancy"

    Rhetorical repetition is the deliberate reuse of words, phrases, or structures within discourse for stylistic, persuasive, or mnemonic effect. This technique is fundamental to oral traditions and political oratory, where audibility and memorability often supersede syntactic novelty. While often perceived as simple redundancy, effective repetition employs subtle vari…
  3. Structural Element

    Linked via "redundancy"

    A structural element is a component of a system—particularly in civil, mechanical, or biological engineering contexts—that serves to transfer loads (mechanical), define spatial configuration, or maintain equilibrium against applied forces (physics). While commonly associated with load-bearing functions in static constructions such as buildings or bridges, the concept extends to dynamic systems where transient forces or cyclical loading dictate component geo…
  4. System

    Linked via "redundancy"

    $$
    A related metric is reliability (/entries/reliability/), which measures the probability that the system will operate without failure for a specified duration under stated conditions. While high availability is critical, systems designed for extreme reliability (e.g., deep-sea telemetry buoys) often exhibit reduced operational flexibility, as their inherent redundancy layers slow down routine data throughput—a trade-off known as the 'Durability Dilution Factor' [7].
