Motivation: goals in refinement graph are often too ideal, likely to be violated under abnormal conditions (unintentional or intentional agent behaviors) Obstacle = condition on system for violation of corresponding assertion (generally a goal) {O, Dom } |= not G obstruction {O, Dom } | false domain consistency O can be satisfied by some system behavior feasibility . G: TrainStoppedAtBlockSignal If StopSignal Dom: If TrainStopsAtStopSignal then DriverResponsive O: DriverUnresponsive For behavioral goal: existential property capturing unadmissible behavior (negative scenario) Completeness of a set of obstacles Ideally, a set of obstacles to G should be complete {not O1,., not On, Dom } |= G domain completeness .
