A plot error, or a plot hole as it's commonly known, reflects a failure in the consistency of the created fictional world.

It puts one in the position of asserting or implying that truth or standards of logical consistency are relative to a particular thinker or group and that under some other standard, the position is correct despite its failure to stand up to logic.

The failure of the program was induced by Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems, which showed that any ω-consistent theory that is sufficiently strong to express certain simple arithmetic truths, cannot prove its own consistency, which on Gödel's formulation is a sentence.

As a result of this, failure to detect errors and manually roll back the enclosing transaction may cause failures of isolation and consistency.

The main property which should be induced by checkpointing techniques in such systems is in preserving system consistency in case of failure.

The Write Anywhere File Layout ( WAFL ) is a file layout that supports large, high-performance RAID arrays, quick restarts without lengthy consistency checks in the event of a crash or power failure ( though sometimes a WAFL check may be required which can take days ), and growing the filesystems size quickly.

This design criterion is however as risky as over-reinforced concrete, because failure is sudden as the concrete crushes at the same time of the tensile steel yields, which gives a very little warning of distress in tension failure.

This criterion is based on the Tresca criterion but takes into account the assumption that hydrostatic stresses do not contribute to material failure.

By the Framingham criteria, diagnosis of congestive heart failure ( heart failure with impaired pumping capability ) requires the simultaneous presence of at least 2 of the following major criteria or 1 major criterion in conjunction with 2 of the following minor criteria:

Another commonly used criterion for failure of non-operative treatment is election of operative treatment, but the decision to operate is complex and biased by the beliefs and emotions of the surgeon and the patient.

The data of Lane and colleagues indicating that non-operative treatment is successful only in mild cases is similarly marred by the lack of patients randomly assigned to alternative treatments and the use in many patients of a decision for surgery as a failure criterion.

Drug doses were incrementally increased until the child was free of seizures, the maximal allowable or highest tolerable dose was reached, or a criterion indicating treatment failure was met.

A leak may also be a failure criterion, but it may be that the leak is due to poor sealing of the test equipment.

To denote a failure in any criterion is to show how it " disagrees with experiment " ( Feynman ) and / or " does not work " ( Hocking ).

Note that this failure of Approval depends upon a particular generalization of the Condorcet criterion, which may not be accepted by all voting theorists.

The most common failure of the participation criterion is not in the use of particular voting systems, but in simple yes or no measures that place quorum requirements.

Mohr's contribution extended the use of this representation for both two-and three-dimensional stresses and developed a failure criterion based on the stress circle.

The Surah begins with an assertion, " Most certainly the Believers have attained true success ", intending to put across a point that the criterion of success and failure which people who disbelieve in Islam, hold in mind is in fact erred because it is based on misconceptions and is transitory and limited in nature, in turn leading to eventual failure and not true success.

* Hoek-Brown failure criterion

The mutual majority criterion implies the majority criterion so the Borda count's failure of the latter is also a failure of the mutual majority criterion.

He is the discoverer of the Tresca ( or maximal shear stress ) criterion of material failure.

Something of this can be learned from `` The Way To The Churchyard '' ( 1901 ), an anecdote about an old failure whose fit of anger at a passing cyclist causes him to die of a stroke or seizure.

Progress is impeded by psychological inhibitions to effective action among those in power and by a failure on their part to understand how local resources, human and material, can be mobilized to achieve the national goals of modernization already symbolically accepted.

At any rate, the teacher who recognizes common causes of retardation and maladjustment can frequently do a great deal to eliminate the causes of pupil discouragement, failure, and maladjustment.

Despite an ambiguity due to its failure clearly to define `` relative costs '', the above exposition of fully distributed costing goes about as far as one can go toward expressing the basic philosophy of the practice.

If the coating becomes still thicker, a peeling type failure finally can occur.

It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the cutting removal of a coating from its substrate involves pure cohesive failure of the coating.

Also, it can be readily seen that the cutting and peeling types of failure show a steady state response, while the cracking mechanism is of a dynamic nature.

The detailed mechanisms of this type of failure have been studied extensively by Merchant for metal cutting, and the principles found can be directly applied to coatings.

Anxiety can be a symptom of an underlying health issue such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ), heart failure, or heart arrythmia.

NSAIDs predispose to peptic ulcers, renal failure, allergic reactions, and occasionally hearing loss, and they can increase the risk of hemorrhage by affecting platelet function.

Concepts such as the stress concentration factor and the strain energy release rate can be used to predict failure.

They cannot be used in vasospastic angina and can precipitate heart failure.

As a result of this failure, they develop wretched self-images, which can lead to depression.

This can result in symptoms that include anxiety, life threatening seizures, delirium tremens, hallucinations, shakes and possible heart failure.

For these reasons, a setup of bioleaching must be carefully planned, since the process can lead to a biosafety failure.

Impure water used to make concrete can cause problems when setting or in causing premature failure of the structure.

Failure to move sufficient blood can result in failure in other organs and may result in death if severe.

:; Cor pulmonale: Untreated cor pulmonale can cause right heart failure from chronic pulmonary hypertrophy.

However, failure of both eyes to move to one side, can indicate damage or destruction of the affected side.

Fundamentally, then, social disorder can stem from the failure to call things by their proper names, and his solution to this was Zhèngmíng ().

( Small imperfections in the ceramic material with its low fracture toughness lead to cracks, which can lead to potentially dangerous equipment failure.

Copying files to another hard disk in the same computer protects against failure of one disk, but if it is necessary to protect against failure or destruction of the entire computer, then copies of the files must be made on other media that can be taken away from the computer and stored in a safe, distant location.

This narrowness of definition has caused some debate over the years, and its result, the exclusion of Hebridean sites from most major syntheses, can be seen as a shortcoming which, due to superficial typologies, results in the failure to unite these sites, whose inhabitants shared the common habit of living on water.

This can continue to the point of complete breakdown of normal resistance at a semiconductor junction, and failure of the device ( this may be temporary or permanent depending on whether there is physical damage to the crystal ).
