Inconsistency-Propagation Systems

Inconsistency-Propagation Systems are frameworks used to identify and manage conflicts within interconnected information. When new data contradicts existing knowledge, these systems analyze how the inconsistency affects related information and determine which parts need adjustment. This process ensures the overall consistency of the knowledge base is maintained by systematically tracing and resolving conflicts, rather than ignoring or arbitrarily changing data. It's similar to fixing a chain of interconnected issues by addressing the root cause and understanding how corrections ripple through the system, maintaining reliable and coherent information throughout.
