@Plinz are you using concepts of #Supervenience / #DownwardCausation in your work? They seem key to me.
They don't. What happens to the software if it upsets the user so much that the user pours his coffee over the hardware? Edge cases are very hard to predict!

You have changed the boundary of your stack of models, which is exactly my point. Previously the boundaries coincided, but now you have included an annoyed user with a cup of coffee. Is the annoyed user pouring her coffee an example of downward causation? It's causally messy.

Yes, but that is a problem of your model boundary, not of reality.
