Re: [tlaplus] meaning of the lead to (~>) operator



For (x > 0) ~> (y = 5),  x is set to 1 in state 2, meaning y = 5 must be true in a future state from 2. The error trace includes the step where x = -1 due to an implementation detail of TLC: based on how it calculates liveness, it doesn't guarantee that a liveness-violating trace will be the shortest one possible.

Re the FALSE ~> (y = 5),  no idea. Think it might be a bug? [](FALSE => <>TRUE) also fails, which doesn't seem right.

I don't understand why these formulas even causes the error, what am i missing? why mplication operator evaluated as false when left operand of the implication is FALSE?

Hello Seup,

What is the error trace you're getting?

From the actions you have defined, as long as x remains <= 0, we never need to increment y. A possible behavior is Init, SetX, IncX, SetX, IncX, ...

It may be enough to simply change the enabling condition for IncY to x >= 0 (but that may not be "allowed" by what you are trying to specify).


Best,

Isaac DeFrain

Hi,

I'm trying to specify "If some operation does not happens, then some condition eventually becomes true"

full specification is following:
-------------------------------- MODULE test --------------------------------

EXTENDS Integers

VARIABLE x,y

Init ==
    /\ x = 0
    /\ y = 0

IncX ==
    /\ x' = IF x < 5 THEN (x + 1) ELSE 5
    /\ UNCHANGED <<y>>

IncY ==
    /\ x > 0
    /\ y' = IF y < 5 THEN (y + 1) ELSE 5
    /\ UNCHANGED <<x>>

SetX ==
    /\ x' = -1
    /\ UNCHANGED <<y>>

Next ==
    \/ IncX
    \/ IncY
    \/ SetX
    
Invariant1 ==
    /\ x < 6
    /\ y < 6
    
temporalFormula1 ==  (x > 0) ~> (y = 5)
=============================================================================

and behavior spec is:
Init /\ [][Next]_<<x,y>> /\ WF_x(IncX) /\ WF_x(SetX) /\ WF_<<x,y>>(IncY)

my question is, why temporalFormula1 is violated?

I know that (x > 0) ~> (y = 5) means:
((x > 0) => <>(y = 5)) which is
\A n \in Nat. \sigma^{+n} ⊨ (x > 0) => ¬□¬(y = 5) which is
\A n \in Nat. \sigma^{+n} ⊨ (x > 0) => \sigma^{+n} ⊨ \E m \in Nat. \sigma{+m} ⊨ (y = 5) which is
\A n \in Nat. \sigma^{+n} ⊨ (x > 0) => \E m \in Nat. \sigma^{+n+m} ⊨ (y = 5)

so, i believed that error-trace should not contains the state that x is -1 but it does. 

I even tried the formula (FALSE) ~> (y = 5) but it still fails with similar error trace. what's my mistake here?
