← Logic & PuzzlesIf a sensor network updates a lookup table using propositional logic, which consequence arises when conflicting data consistently creates a contradiction?
A)The sensor network achieves consensus.
B)Systematic data errors are propagated.✓
C)The system dynamically self-corrects.
D)Irrelevant data gets filtered out.
💡 Explanation
When a lookup table consistently evaluates to a contradiction, systematic errors propagate because the 'Law of Explosion' mechanism in propositional logic means that from a contradiction, any statement can be derived. Therefore, the errors spread, rather than being corrected by the system.
