I called it "inoperable state" because what this state is, or other 
variables are, don't matter compared with what part is affected:

Critical: system or data.
High: main functionality.
Medium: secondary functionality.
Low: everything else.

Even this is the case for frequency, what can be more accurately figured 
out using Heat.
