Condition 2 Case A | Initial Condition | 0.5 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | ||
Condition 3 Case A | Initial Condition | 0.4 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | ||
Result Case A | Consequence | 0.12 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | The probability of the logical "AND" combination of 3 inputs is the multiplication of the probabilities, so in this case 0.6 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 0.12 | |

Condition 3 Case B | Initial Condition | 0.4 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | ||
Result Case B | Consequence | 0.88 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | The probability of the logical "OR" combination of 3 inputs is: The sum of the probabilities of the three conditions (0.6 + 0.5 + 0.4 (= 1.5) ) Minus the probabilities that 1 AND 2 plus 2 AND 3 plus 3 AND 1 are appearing i.e. - [ ( 0.6 * 0.5 ) + ( 0.5 * 0.4 ) + ( 0.4 * 0.6 ) (= 0.74) ] Plus the probability that all three conditions are appearing + (0.6 * 0.5 * 0.4 (=0.12, case A)) total 0.88 | |

Event 2 Case C | Initial Event | 0.5 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | ||
Event 3 Case C | Initial Event | 0.4 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | ||
Result Case C | Consequence | 1.5 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | Events (change in conditions, where the duration of the change is infinitively short) cannot be concurrent (probability of to conditions zero duration is zero), derfor there is no discounting for concurrent occurrence of events. The expected frequency of the logical "OR" combination of 3 events is: The sum of the frequencies of the three events 0.6 + 0.5 + 0.4 = 1.5 events per unit time | |
Condition 1 Case D | Initial Condition | 0.6 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | ||
Condition 2 Case D | Initial Condition | 0.5 | Probability or Time fraction (<1) | ||
Event Case D | Initial Event | 0.4 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | ||
Result Case D | Consequence | 0.12 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | One (and only one) of the inputs of an AND gate can be an event (a "change of condition" where the duration of the change is infinitely short) The frequency of the outcome event of the logical "AND" combination of 2 input condition and one input event is the multiplication of the probabilities of the conditions and the frequency of the event, so in this case 0.6 * 0.5 * 0.4 times/hour= 0.12 times/hour. | |

Event Case E | Initial Event | 0.4 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | ||
Result Case E | Consequence | 0.12 | Expected Frequency of Occurrence per Hour | If and only if the events halfway a diagram originate from the same event, then the program allows that those event may be simultaneous inputs to an AND gate. Indeed _simultaneous_, because these events will then occur together. Note that the logical condition is exactly the same as in case D (The result occurs when the Originating event AND Condition 1 Case D AND Condition 2 Case D occur) . | |
