-text {* (* ddd *)
-  The nature of the work is like this: since it starts from a very simple and basic 
-  model, even intuitively very `basic` and `obvious` properties need to derived from scratch.
-  For instance, the fact 
-  that one thread can not be blocked by two critical resources at the same time
-  is obvious, because only running threads can make new requests, if one is waiting for 
-  a critical resource and get blocked, it can not make another resource request and get 
-  blocked the second time (because it is not running). 
-
-  To derive this fact, one needs to prove by contraction and 
-  reason about time (or @{text "moement"}). The reasoning is based on a generic theorem
-  named @{text "p_split"}, which is about status changing along the time axis. It says if 
-  a condition @{text "Q"} is @{text "True"} at a state @{text "s"},
-  but it was @{text "False"} at the very beginning, then there must exits a moment @{text "t"} 
-  in the history of @{text "s"} (notice that @{text "s"} itself is essentially the history 
-  of events leading to it), such that @{text "Q"} switched 
-  from being @{text "False"} to @{text "True"} and kept being @{text "True"}
-  till the last moment of @{text "s"}.
+context extend_highest_gen
+begin
 
-  Suppose a thread @{text "th"} is blocked
-  on @{text "cs1"} and @{text "cs2"} in some state @{text "s"}, 
-  since no thread is blocked at the very beginning, by applying 
-  @{text "p_split"} to these two blocking facts, there exist 
-  two moments @{text "t1"} and @{text "t2"}  in @{text "s"}, such that 
-  @{text "th"} got blocked on @{text "cs1"} and @{text "cs2"} 
-  and kept on blocked on them respectively ever since.
- 
-  Without lose of generality, we assume @{text "t1"} is earlier than @{text "t2"}.
-  However, since @{text "th"} was blocked ever since memonent @{text "t1"}, so it was still
-  in blocked state at moment @{text "t2"} and could not
-  make any request and get blocked the second time: Contradiction.

+  According to @{thm th_kept}, thread @{text "th"} has its living status
+  and precedence kept along the way of @{text "t"}. The following lemma
+  shows that this preserved precedence of @{text "th"} remains as the highest
+  along the way of @{text "t"}.

-
-lemma RAG_exit_unchanged: "(RAG (Exit th # s)) = RAG s"
-apply (unfold s_RAG_def s_waiting_def wq_def)
-by (simp add:Let_def)
+  The proof goes by induction over @{text "t"} using the specialized
+  induction rule @{thm ind}, followed by case analysis of each possible 
+  operations of PIP. All cases follow the same pattern rendered by the 
+  generalized introduction rule @{thm "image_Max_eqI"}.

-text {* 
-  The following lemmas are used in the proof of 
-  lemma @{text "step_RAG_v"}, which characterizes how the @{text "RAG"} is changed
-  by @{text "V"}-events. 
-  However, since our model is very concise, such  seemingly obvious lemmas need to be derived from scratch,
-  starting from the model definitions.
+  The very essence is to show that precedences, no matter whether they 
+  are newly introduced or modified, are always lower than the one held 
+  by @{term "th"}, which by @{thm th_kept} is preserved along the way.

+
+  The following lemma shows how the counters for @{term "P"} and
+  @{term "V"} operations relate to the running threads in the states
+  @{term s} and @{term "t @ s"}.  The lemma shows that if a thread's
+  @{term "P"}-count equals its @{term "V"}-count (which means it no
+  longer has any resource in its possession), it cannot be a running
+  thread.
+
+  The proof is by contraction with the assumption @{text "th' \<noteq> th"}.
+  The key is the use of @{thm count_eq_dependants} to derive the
+  emptiness of @{text th'}s @{term dependants}-set from the balance of
+  its @{term P} and @{term V} counts.  From this, it can be shown
+  @{text th'}s @{term cp}-value equals to its own precedence.
+
+  On the other hand, since @{text th'} is running, by @{thm
+  runing_preced_inversion}, its @{term cp}-value equals to the
+  precedence of @{term th}.
+
+  Combining the above two resukts we have that @{text th'} and @{term
+  th} have the same precedence. By uniqueness of precedences, we have
+  @{text "th' = th"}, which is in contradiction with the assumption

+
+  The next lemma shows how the counters for @{term "P"} and @{term
+  "V"} operations relate to the running threads in the states @{term
+  s} and @{term "t @ s"}: if a thread's @{term "P"}-count equals its
+  @{term "V"}-count (which means it no longer has any resource in its
+  possession), it cannot be a running thread.
+
+  The proof is by contraction with the assumption @{text "th' \<noteq> th"}.
+  The key is the use of @{thm count_eq_dependants} to derive the
+  emptiness of @{text th'}s @{term dependants}-set from the balance of
+  its @{term P} and @{term V} counts.  From this, it can be shown
+  @{text th'}s @{term cp}-value equals to its own precedence.
+
+  On the other hand, since @{text th'} is running, by @{thm
+  runing_preced_inversion}, its @{term cp}-value equals to the
+  precedence of @{term th}.
+
+  Combining the above two results we have that @{text th'} and @{term
+  th} have the same precedence. By uniqueness of precedences, we have
+  @{text "th' = th"}, which is in contradiction with the assumption
+  @{text "th' \<noteq> th"}.
