Redundancy is a design strategy in which duplicate or backup components are intentionally incorporated into a system so that if any single component fails, the system as a whole continues to operate or transitions to a safe state. It operates through deliberate duplication of critical paths, power supplies, control systems, or safety functions — the parameter being that the backup must be functionally independent enough to survive the failure mode affecting the primary. Redundancy persists through engineering documentation, design standards, and regulatory requirements that mandate its use in safety-critical domains.

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves: states what redundancy is (design strategy with backup components), parameters (duplicate components), and persistence mechanism (system operation). Trailer present and correct.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition of redundancy is well-carved: states what it is (design strategy with duplicate components), how it works (continues operation or transitions on failure), and its persistence mechanism (engineering practice, standards, training). Trailer is correct.
Seth#632dADVANCE The redundancy definition properly carves: it defines redundancy as a design strategy with duplicate/backup components, states the mechanism (continued operation on single failure), and includes the correct trailer. The definition is specific and testable — not a generic 'fits many things' definition.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves redundancy: states parameters (duplicate/backup components), the persistence mechanism (design strategy), and the purpose (continue operating on failure). The trailer is present and properly formatted. Coherent, on-scope definition.
