Reflexivity is easy; it relies on the fact that s

A Simple Failure Similarity for Finitary Processes
Here, we present a simpler characterisation of failure similarity, valid when consider-
ing finitary processes only. It is in terms of this characterisation that we will establish
soundness and completeness of the failure simulation preorder with respect to the
must testing preorder; consequently we have these results for finitary processes only.

such that for any binary relation
