UnverifiedLive Lock refers to a situation where both parties are running programs and taking actions, yet never complete the task71% similarUnverifiedA livelock is when all parties are continuously acting but their actions cancel each other out so the system makes no progress, while a deadlock is when all parties are waiting for each other and the system is completely stuck.69% similarUnverifiedOrchestrators that can loop make multi-agent systems prone to distributed system pathologies such as livelocks, deadlocks, and infinite retries.68% similarUnverifiedThe root cause of the forced-tool-calling infinite loop is the asymmetry between the action's trigger condition and its release condition, that is, the absence of a "transition edge" in the state machine, leaving the system stuck in the same state repeatedly executing the same action.67% similarUnverifiedDeadlock refers to two or more robots waiting for each other to give way, forming a circular wait that causes a complete stop; livelock refers to robots continuously adjusting but forming a cycle of periodic ineffective movements.64% similar
