Sociotechnical systems are so complex that it is impossible to understand them as a whole. Rather, you have to view them as layers, as shown in Figure 10.3.

Why is it necessary to view sociotechnical systems as layers rather than as a whole?

Because only the top layer matters for system dependability

Because layers are easier to design

Because sociotechnical systems are so complex that it is impossible to understand them as a whole

Because each layer operates independently without interacting with others
