We define the $\bowtie$ function, where $\FG$ is the set of all {\fgs} and $\DC$ is the set of all {\dcs},

We show an FMMD hierarchy in figure~\ref{fig:fmmdh}.
Using this diagram, we can follow the creation of the hierarchy in

We can represent the hierarchy in figure~\ref{fig:hd} algebraically, using the $\bowtie$ function
definition nested thus:
$$ \bowtie \Big( \bowtie \big( \bowtie(R,ADC), read\_4\_20\_input \big), read\_4\_20\_input \Big). $$
This nested structure means that we have multiple traceable
stages of failure mode reasoning in our analysis. Traditional FMEA would have only one stage
of reasoning for each component failure mode.
