Mechanisms¶
- Lock Ordering Protocol
- Its strength is that it delivers a guarantee, not a mitigation: obey the order everywhere and the wait-for graph is acyclic by construction, so this class of deadlock is impossible rather than merely rare — it is the direct structural attack on the circular-wait condition of the classic deadlock model.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
