According to there are
>“two meanings for and two meanings for ”:

>“By the *machinery of nature* we mean the failure-proof that we assume underlie the predictable behavior of matter. When we find certain types of events unpredictable we assume that our description or theory of these events are failures, but not the events themselves.”

>On the other hand, while we assume that the of arithmetic are not subject to failure, it is clear that a physical machine to execute these rules may fail all too often.”

Paraphrased from the same source:

This "" (error in the or error in the ) can be identified at all organizational levels:

➡️ Computer programs may have either an error in the program itself ( error) or an error may happen because of the machine ( error) that executes an otherwise correct program.

➡️ At higher levels it is possible to make an error in the choice of algorithm which is being programmed or even make a mistake in the choice of problem that the developed algorithm is supposed to solve.

➡️ Similarly in social and political organizations we distinguish between a faulty policy and the failure to execute a policy properly.

In other words, we try to distinguish between the ***error in our *** of reality which leads to incorrect policies ( and descriptions), and the ***error in *** which leads to a failure of a (good) policy implementation.
