Mars Rover — Invariant Discipline

Problem:
Mars rovers survive because every action checks against strict invariants: power budget, thermal limits, movement constraints. If a step violates an invariant, the rover stops immediately.

Invariant Checks Prevent Cascading Failures

Why It Matters:
This discipline prevents cascading failures—even with delayed command cycles.

Impact:
Rover missions remain stable in extreme, unpredictable environments.

Mars rovers survive because every action checks against strict invariants: power budget, thermal limits, movement constraints. If a step violates an invariant, the rover stops immediately.

Insight:
Cloud systems need the same invariant-driven runtime discipline to survive unexpected conditions.
