Definitionv1DF-576
Reliability optimization
the process of redesigning agents to fire consistently under varying conditions by building structural support mechanisms such as fallback paths, backup triggers, and minimum viable execution modes
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'reliability optimization' within the curriculum context. It names the term, states its genus (process of redesigning agents), provides differentia (firing consistently under varying conditions with structural support), and distinguishes it from willpower-based approaches. It uses language consistent with how the curriculum uses the term throughout the lesson.
