safety properties

Safety properties refer to rules or conditions that ensure a system or process avoids causing harm or reaching undesirable states. They are about preventing errors, accidents, or failures that could lead to damage, injury, or loss. Think of it as ensuring that certain bad things never happen—like a security system preventing unauthorized access or an airplane's safety checks avoiding malfunctions. In software or systems, safety properties guarantee that the system behaves within safe boundaries, maintaining reliability and protecting users and resources from harm or unintended consequences.
