If the overall task has been adequately defined - that is, if the inputs and
outputs of all the quantities involved and their actual or required properties
are known then it is possible to specify the overall function.
An overall function can often be divided directly into identifiable
sub-functions corresponding to sub-tasks.

The logical validity of any signal can be read off from the truth table shown
, in which all the inputs are combined systematically to yield the relevant
outputs. The Boolean equations have been added for the sake of
completeness. Using logical functions it is possible to construct complex
switchings and thus to increase the safety and reliability of control and
communication systems.
Only the combination of the physical effect with the geometric and
material characteristics (working surfaces, working motions and materials)
allows the principle of the solution to emerge. This interrelationship is
called the working principle, and it is the first concrete step in the
implementation of the solution. (Refer slide 21)
To satisfy the overall function, the working principles of the
various sub-functions, have to be combined.
