I can't think of how to ask this without using CTL frankly--On Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 2:26:02 PM UTC-3 Francisco José Letterio wrote:I think I might need to read up a bit more on temporal logic before tackling this one 😅On Sun, May 18, 2025, 14:06 Hillel Wayne <hwa...@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:--Hi Francisco,
1. What constants did you use for Goal, Jugs, Capacity?
2. When you say "it begins with injug = [0,0], pc = Lbl_1 and goes to injug = [0,3], pc = Lbl_1", does it say "back to step 1" or "stuttering" after? Because a valid trace seems to be
Fill jug 1 -> empty jug 1 -> fill jug 1 -> empty jug 1 -> etc
`Termination` checks the spec always terminates, while for this case we want to show the spec terminates in at least one circumstance (which means it finds a solution). How can you change your property to reflect that?

However, checking for property Termination makes TLC report that "Temporal properties were violated" and the trace has a single step where it begins with injug = [0,0], pc = Lbl_1 and goes to injug = [0,3], pc = Lbl_1 (so it fills the small jug)
I don't understand what temporal property is being violated, and why this trace proves it--
