Abstract
HOS concepts are now being applied to a prototype Shuttle flight software system. By providing software with its own meta-software and its own universal system, not only can we produce reliable systems, but we can also communicate these systems to others. Development and real-time flexibility are not sacrificed. The only limitations applied are those which prevent a potential error from occuring, i. e., the only flexibility missing is that which allows for flexibility of errors.
