Systemic. System defects - ������ ������ (��������, OS, ������ ���������� � �.�.). Systematic = ��������������.
David Knowles Jan 22, 2005:
That's for you to decide - at least we agree on "defect"! I obviously think it's "systematic", because it's about patterns of defects. "Systemic" and "system" are about "systems", things with complex components.

Well, and which is the right word in the context: system, systemic, or systematic?

systemic unsoundedness

дефектность обычно означает нечто привенеснное, например, в процессе производства (в отличие от дефективности, например, у детей). В данном случае, русский термин выбран неудачно. В геологии уплотребляют sound - unsound, что характеризует недостатки в целом.

agree Сергей Лузан : из Кузбасса.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "According to Leonid's reference, "unsoundedness" seems perfectly fit the bill, so I'll stick with it. Thank you all, guys!"

systematic defects

Possibly "faults" or "flaws", but I think "defects" is a good geological word!
Peer comment(s):

agree AlanG (X) : I don't think "unsoundness" is possible here. Defects is best.

agree Kevin Kelly : Systematic is the correct term here. "systemic" means that which is inherent to a system; "systematic" means having a pattern, which is the case here. This is context driven.

neutral Dorene Cornwell : I think this refers to some kind of a rate or number. See my suggestions below.

systematic defect rate

I think what is needed here is some kind of rate or number. Maybe in a big I can go find some citations....

Something like:
systematic defect rate

or:
level of systematic defects

Just a suggestion

Unless системная refers to something (system)in particular, I would just say "defects of the system," a system in geology (geomorphology) being a group of related natural features, e.g., mountain system, drainage system, etc., etc.
