Engineering Disciplines for Formal Mathematical Systems
Engineering methods and frameworks that connect formal mathematics to practical system design, verification, testing, and deployment.
Routing
- USE FOR: Engineering disciplines relevant to formal mathematical systems — control theory, systems engineering, reliability engineering, software verification, signal processing, and testing methodology. Use for bridging mathematical foundations to engineering practice, and for formalizing engineering requirements in Lean 4.
- DO NOT USE FOR: formal verification in Lean (use @lean-ai-formalization); security-specific engineering (use @applied-data-information-security); strategy analysis (use @applied-strategy-analysis).
- TRIGGERS: control theory, systems engineering, reliability engineering, software verification, engineering discipline.
Workflow
- Identify the discipline match: control theory, systems engineering, reliability engineering, or software verification.
- Pick the relevant section of the body; trace the chosen methodology end-to-end.
- Produce the engineering artifact (control law, FMEA, reliability budget) in the form the caller needs.
- Hand off: to
@lean-ai-formalizationfor formal proofs of correctness, to@math-nonlinear-dynamicsif control-theoretic dynamics dominate, to@lean-zettelkasten.
Recovery & STOP
- STOP if the question is about the formal-verification proof itself — delegate to
@lean-ai-formalization. - STOP if the discipline match is unclear — surface a clarifying question rather than guessing.
- STOP if the answer needs domain-specific data not in the body — escalate to
@research-council.
