They behave according to the sum of their runtime conditions — conditions that are rarely fully visible, rarely fully controlled, and often only understood after something goes wrong. This gap between intended behaviour and actual behaviour is one of the core reasons why modern systems surprise their operators, drift over time and resist prediction.
