This is very similar to what happened to the MAS 777 off Perth in 2005. High value outputs from the ADIRU went to the PFCC and away she went. Fortunately the intial response in that incident was positive g but it had the potential to snap the rudder off. The big issue is the lack of effective testing of the software that controls all these outputs. Mathematical testing of the software is possible but considered expensive and time consuming.
