livelocktilat
Livelocktilat is a term used predominantly in computer science and operations research to refer to concurrency states wherein two or more processes are continuously changing their states in response to one another yet fail to make forward progress. The concept derives from the notion of livelock, a condition in which active components interact but never settle into a stable configuration. By appending the Finnish word “tilat,” meaning “states,” the term specifically focuses on the characterization and classification of such livelock conditions.
In practice, a livelocktilat scenario is often observed when processes repeatedly attempt to acquire a resource
Mitigation techniques for livelocktilat involve the introduction of non‑deterministic back‑off schemes, priority reversal, or global coordination.
Researchers such as Weber and Johnson have examined livelocktilat within distributed ledger systems, pointing out that
