// Mutual exclusion: at any time t there is at most one process in its critical section phase
num_procs_in_crit <= 1
// Liveness: if a process is trying, then eventually a process enters the critical section
"one_trying" => P>=1 [ F "one_critical" ]
// weaker version of k-bounded waiting: minimum probability process enters the criticial section given it draws
Pmin=?[ !"one_critical" U (p1=2) {draw1=1 & !"one_critical"}{min} ]
// filter expresses the fact that we are only interested in the probability for states in which
// - process is going to make a draw (draw1=1)
// - no process is in the critical section (otherwise probability is clearly 0)
// and we take the minimum value over this set of states
// probability above is zero which is due to the fact that in certain states the adversary can
// use the values of the draw variables of other processes to prevent the process from entering
// the criticial section
// this does not quite disprove Rabin's bounded waiting property as one is starting
// from the state the process decides to enter the round and one does not take into account
// the probability of reaching this state (this does have an influence as the results
// for the properties below show that to get the probability 0 one of the other processes
//must have already randomly picked a high value for its bi)
// to demonstrate this fact we restrict attention to states where these values
// are restricted,i.e. where the values of the bi variables are bounded
