Failure semantics
Crash failures: Component halts, but behaves correctly before halting
Omission failures: Component fails to respond
Timing failures: Output is correct, but lies outside a specified real-time interval (performance failures: too slow)
Response failures: Output is incorrect (but can at least not be accounted to another component)
Value failure: Wrong value is produced
State transition failure: Execution of component brings it into a wrong state
Arbitrary failures: Component produces arbitrary output and be subject to arbitrary timing failures

Q: What do the spirit, vitality, etc. stats affect?
