Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a safety subsystem configured to:
during a first time period:
receive a first input value from an input source;
generate a first safety condition based on the first input value; and
output the first safety condition; and

during a second time period succeeding the first time period:
receive a second input value from the input source;
generate a second safety condition based on the second input value; and
output the second safety condition; and

a command gate configured to:
during the first time period:
receive a first unvalidated control value from a control system distinct from the input source;
receive the first safety condition from the safety subsystem;
validate the first unvalidated control value as a first safe control value based on the first safety condition; and
output the first safe control value to a system under control; and

during the second time period:
receive a second unvalidated control value from the control system;
receive the second safety condition from the safety subsystem;
transform the second unvalidated control value into a second safe control value based on the second safety condition; and
output the second safe control value to the system under control.
