bloque funcional Explanation: La expresión black box tiene dos acepciones, la segunda es la que menciona Ernesto, pero en mi criterio no es la que más se ajusta al contexto. Se empezó a usar en hardware para denotar un dipolo o cuadripolo, pero se difundió al ser aplicado a diagramas de flujo de software, organigramas y similares. La siguiente es copia de "The Free Dictionary by FARLEX" black box n. 1. a. A device or theoretical construct with known or specified performance characteristics but unknown or unspecified constituents and means of operation. b. Something that is mysterious, especially as to function. 2. See flight recorder. |
