   Lucky you.  I would expect that you still have limit conditions that   
   would, for example, require plant shutdown.  Mechanical systems tend to   
   have limit stops that serve the same function.

   In isolation, they appear to be simple and comprehensible.  In a large   
   mass with significant interactions and prioritization, however, they   
   are definitely not understandable.   
      
   In fact, the combination of apparent simplicity and actual   
   impenetrability is very dangerous.
