Abstract

We are now ready to make a leap. Quite a big one, from watches to highflying aircraft, showing that the same underlying structures that render the watch confusing also exist in the world of complex safetycritical systems. In fact, this is one of the central messages of this book. But please don’t be intimidated by the perceived complexity of the aircraft systems, autopilots, and navigation systems—you will see that, basically, they are not different from fans, climate control systems, and digital watches. We will be using the same descriptive language with which we are already familiar to look at and understand the inherent problems that cause confusion and error.
