A physical builder rebuilds reality to match the user’s description, probably with some acceptable tolerance. Unlike software deployment which either succeeds or fails, physical assembly admits fuzzy matching between desired and actual state.

How to formally define acceptable tolerance between desired and actual physical state? Software has pass/fail. What does "close enough" mean for a physical build? →

In control theory this is called dead band — the comparator ignores errors below a threshold. Every physical controller has tolerance built in; CA must define one explicitly. →
