This intuition has been formalised in the context of input–output maps, thereby introducing the notion of exclusion independence. We review work on how this formalisation allows us to derive characterisation theorems that provide a basis for the design of robust systems.en1431-761320204309318Interaction orderKnockoutsNeutralityRobustnessJournal Article10.1007/s12064-020-00332-433263925Journal Article
