Safety properties, discussed in chapter 5, allow us to state that “the program does no harm”. A trivial program that causes no state change —a program that consists only of a skip action, for instance— satisfies all the safety properties. Thus, safety properties alone are insufficient as a basis of program design. Several formal aspects of program design and refinement are seriously affected by the absence of a requirement that the program must guarantee some desirable state changes.
