It comes from rules, logic, and decisions applied properly.
In design systems, consistency should protect coherence, not create sameness. The goal is not to flatten every interface into one repeated pattern, but to make sure the product behaves, communicates, and scales with intention.
Rules create coherence.
Repetition creates sameness.
That is where consistency is built.
