Abstract: Discussion of a radiation dose calculation example demonstrates various expressive limitations of the refinement calculus, particularly for systems with continuous variables. A liberalization of refinement, called retrenchment, is proposed, which will support an analogous formal development calculus. Useful concrete system behaviour can be specified outside the domain of pure refinement, in particular behaviour under controlled precision decay. A syntax and a formal definition are presented for ... (Update)

...failure and reset) in the simulation. 4] addressed the integration of refinement and retrenchment from a methodological perspective. In [30] we presented a generalisation, evolving retrenchment. This paper is squarely in the B setting (albeit with some data type enrichment)...
