Logical Independence

Definition

Logical independence refers to the property where different components or aspects of a system operate without relying on the internal structure or specific implementation details of other parts. In blockchain design, this means that changes in one module, such as a smart contract, do not necessarily impact the functionality of another, like the underlying consensus mechanism. This separation promotes modularity, simplifies maintenance, and reduces the risk of cascading failures. It enhances the overall resilience and adaptability of the system.
