InternalConsistency

Checking for self-contradiction

Definition

Mechanism

A Check that validates whether the components of an Artifact adhere to the Principle of Non-Contradiction. It ensures that no two propositions within the Artifact conflict with each other. Distinct from external Validate (checking against a schema) or fact-checking (checking against reality).

Invariants

  1. Non-Contradiction: No two propositions within the artifact can logically negate each other.
  2. Completeness: All reachable nodes in the artifact are visited.

Risks

Failure modes

None stated.
