Heh, it’s not a perfect match - but I feel like Eric Holnagle’s notion of “safety 1” and “safety 2” rather neatly map to the way we talk about “safety” and “liveness” in programs.
- safety 1/safety: the absence of negative outcomes
- safety 2/liveness: the presence of positive outcomes
To be exact: Holnagle defines safety 2 as “the presence of positive capacities, capabilities and competencies to make things go right” — which is a little weaker. But the thrust feels similar!
