 When the TEST line is activated, it supplies a test signal
 which will validate the circuit. This circuit will have two operational states,
 NORMAL and TEST mode.
-
 It is natural to apply the operational states to functional groups.
 Functional groups by definition implement functionality, or purpose
 of particular sub-systems, and therefore are the best objects to model
 operational states.
+\paragraph{Inhibit Conditions}
+Some failure modes may only be active given specific environmental conditions
+or when other failures are already active.
+To model this, an `inhibit' class has been added.
+This is an optional atribute of 
+a failure mode. This inhibit class can be triggered
+on a combination of environmental or failure modes.
