liveness properties

Liveness properties are guarantees that certain good things will happen eventually in a system or process. For example, in a computer program, a liveness property might ensure that a message sent will eventually be received or that a system will eventually respond to a request. These properties focus on the system's ability to make progress over time, ensuring that it doesn’t get stuck or stuck indefinitely without achieving desired outcomes. Essentially, liveness properties assure users that positive events are not just possible but will happen eventually, helping to build confidence in the system’s functionality.
