Error-Tolerant Design
Error-Tolerant Design is a concept that aims to create systems that can function properly even when components within them fail or are not working as expected. It is based on the idea of making components within a system more autonomous and adaptive to changes in their environment, allowing them to continue to operate even when there are errors or faults present. This type of design is used in many applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical systems, where failure of a component can have serious consequences.

Error-Tolerant Design
Error-Tolerant Design is a style of design that allows for certain errors or faults to occur without deteriorating the design or making it dysfunctional. It is a concept that was initially developed in the 1970s by the famous artist and designer, Karl Crossman. Error-Tolerant Design was based on the idea of utilizing redundancy, which is having multiple sets of the same components or information, to create a more reliable system that could recover from errors more easily. Notable works by Crossman include the Universal Tool, the Multi-Tiered Network and the Improved Structural Compiler.
