By stipulating surjection for symptom collection, we ensure

By applying stages of analysis to higher and higher abstraction
levels, we can converge to a complete failure mode model of the system under analysis.
Because the symptom abstraction process is defined as surjective (from component failure modes to symptoms)
the number of symptoms is guaranteed to the less than or equal to
the number of symptoms is guaranteed to be less than or equal to

In practise however, the number of symptoms greatly reduces as we traverse
up the hierarchy.
This is a natural process. When we have a complicated systems

@ -896,7 +897,9 @@ $RD(fg) = \sum_{n=1}^{27} |3|.(|27|-1) = 2106$.
In order to get general equations with which to compare RFMEA with FMMD
we can re-write equation~\ref{eqn:rd} in terms of the number of levels
in an FMMD hierarchy. The number of components in is number of components
in an FMMD hierarchy.
%
The number of components in the system, is number of components
in a {\fg} raised to the power of the level plus one.
Thus we re-write equation~\ref{eqn:rd} as:
