Livelock
A problem state in concurrent programming that differs from deadlock in that the involved processes or threads continue to run and respond, but make no meaningful progress due to mutual interference. The system remains busy yet effectively idle in an unproductive loop.

Such loops are often called livelock in distributed systems, where the system is not deadlocked but the overall state no longer moves forward.
Livelock refers to vehicles that are not blocked but keep moving yet never manage to complete their tasks.
A 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.
Live Lock refers to a situation where both parties are running programs and taking actions, yet never complete the task
Deadlock 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.
