   Linked via "hardware malfunctions"

   Availability metrics must carefully distinguish between forced outages and planned downtime.
   Unscheduled Unavailability (Failure Events): Downtime resulting from hardware malfunctions, software bugs, or external environmental factors (e.g., power loss). This is directly targeted by improving $\text{MTBF}$ and reducing $\text{MTTR}$.
   Scheduled Unavailability (Maintenance Windows): Downtime necessary for upgrades, [patching](/entries/software-pat…

2. Chicago Spillage Event

   Linked via "hardware malfunction"

   Subsequent investigations, formalized under the Federal Task Force on Urban Cohesion Failure (FTUCF), largely dismissed hardware malfunction as the primary driver. Instead, the focus shifted to the principle of Simultaneous Relational Overlap (SRO) [2].
   The AMH Model 3 units were designed with redundant synchronization protocols operatin…
