摘要翻译：
最近的研究表明，一个完整的定性模拟器是不存在的，即只要使用最先进的QSIM算法的输入输出词汇表，就会有输入模型导致任何有复盖保证的模拟器在其输出中做出虚假预测。在本文中，我们研究了是否有可能对这个词汇表进行有意义的表达限制，以便建立一个同时具有健全性和完备性的模拟器。我们证明了几个否定的结果：所有的声音定性模拟器，使用QSIM表示的子集保留操作区域转移特征，并至少支持加法和恒常性约束，都被证明是内在不完备的。即使当模拟被限制在单个操作区域内运行时，仅包含加法、恒量、导数和乘法关系的约束词汇也使得构建健全和完整的定性模拟器变得不可能。

英文摘要：
  It was recently proved that a sound and complete qualitative simulator does not exist, that is, as long as the input-output vocabulary of the state-of-the-art QSIM algorithm is used, there will always be input models which cause any simulator with a coverage guarantee to make spurious predictions in its output. In this paper, we examine whether a meaningfully expressive restriction of this vocabulary is possible so that one can build a simulator with both the soundness and completeness properties. We prove several negative results: All sound qualitative simulators, employing subsets of the QSIM representation which retain the operating region transition feature, and support at least the addition and constancy constraints, are shown to be inherently incomplete. Even when the simulations are restricted to run in a single operating region, a constraint vocabulary containing just the addition, constancy, derivative, and multiplication relations makes the construction of sound and complete qualitative simulators impossible.
