+Based on these non-normative considerations we have the following rules.
 A tool may add or remove initial equations automatically according to the rules below such that the resulting system is structurally nonsingular:
 \begin{itemize}
 \item A missing initial value of a discrete-time variable (see \cref{component-variability-prefixes-discrete-parameter-constant} -- this does not include parameter and constant variables -- which does not influence the simulation result, may be automatically set to the start value or its default without informing the user.
