Peace and conflict studies

Mending relationships after mass violence

In peace and conflict studies, reconciliation is the long process by which people and groups that have harmed one another rebuild a workable relationship (through acknowledgment of wrongs, truth-telling, justice, and the slow restoration of trust) rather than merely stopping the fighting. Lederach's Building peace: Sustainable reconciliation in divided societies frames it as the meeting place of truth, mercy, justice, and peace in a divided society. The referent is the repair of a damaged social relationship after conflict, assessed by restored trust and coexistence, and it shares only the word with balancing two sets of financial records or adjusting inconsistent measurements.[1]

Unit
The extent to which a damaged relationship between former adversaries is restored
Recovery means
Reconciliation is itself the recovery: the rebuilding of relationship and trust after harm
Measured by
Appraised qualitatively through acknowledgment, restored trust, reduced hostility, and durable coexistence

Process engineering

Adjusting noisy measurements to obey balances

In process and chemical engineering, data reconciliation is a technique that adjusts a set of redundant, noisy plant measurements by the smallest amount needed to make them satisfy known conservation laws, such as mass and energy balances, yielding estimates that are both consistent and more accurate than the raw readings. Narasimhan and Jordache's Data reconciliation and gross error detection sets out the constrained least-squares formulation and the detection of gross errors that would otherwise corrupt it. The referent is the statistical correction of measurements to satisfy physical constraints, measured by the reconciled estimates and their reduced variance, and it is a wholly different construct from mending a relationship or balancing a bank statement.[2]

Unit
The minimal adjustment to measurements that makes them satisfy the governing balances
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Computed by constrained (weighted least-squares) estimation subject to balance equations, with gross-error tests
