Funny, I always think of a mathematical defintion of consistent:  defined
on every axis for each point that is defined on one axis.  Many
mathematical equations are consistent over a range and inconsistent only
at points or in defined spaces.
I'm not arguing with the "predictable" defintion, though.  I think it's
good to start.
