+We can definine a `failure modes' function $fm$ that has a functional group as its range
+and returns a set of failure modes as its domain.
+We now use this to determine the failure modes
+in our functional groups.
+
+We can overload this function to take a {\fg} as its range and 
+a set of failure modes  (being the failure modes of all the components in the {\fg})
+as its domain.
