+section {* The correctness theorem of PIP *}
+
+text {*
+  In this section, we identify two more conditions in addition to the ones already 
+  specified in the forgoing locales, based on which the correctness of PIP is 
+  formally proved. 
+
+  Note that Priority Inversion refers to the phenomenon where the thread with highest priority 
+  is blocked by one with lower priority because the resource it is requesting is 
+  currently held by the later. The objective of PIP is to avoid {\em Indefinite Priority Inversion}, 
+  i.e. the number of occurrences of {\em Prioirty Inversion} becomes indefinitely large. 
+
+  For PIP to be correct, a finite upper bound needs to be found for the occurrence number, 
+  and the existence. This section makes explicit two more conditions so that the existence 
+  of such a upper bound can be proved to exist.

+    existential variable @{text span}. Notice that this number is fixed for each 
+    blocker regardless of any particular instance of @{term t} in which it operates.
+    
+    This assumption is reasonable, because it is a common sense that 
+    the total number of operations take by any standalone thread (or process) 
+    is only determined by its own input, and should not be affected by 
+    the particular environment in which it operates. In this particular case,
+    we regard the @{term t} as the environment of thread @{term th}.

+  -- {* 
+  The following assumption requires the number of @{term Create}-operations is 
+  less or equal to @{term BC} regardless of any particular extension of @{term t}.
+
+   Although this assumption might seem doubtful at first sight, it is necessary 
+   to ensure the occasions when @{term th} is blocked to be finite. Just consider
+   the extreme case when @{term Create}-operations consume all the time in duration 
+   @{term "t"} and leave no space for neither @{term "th"} nor blockers to operate.
+   An investigate of the precondition for @{term Create}-operation in the definition 
+   of @{term PIP} may reveal that such extreme cases are well possible, because it 
+   is only required the thread to be created be a fresh (or dead one), and there 
+   are infinitely many such threads. 
+
+   However, if we relax the correctness criterion of PIP, allowing @{term th} to be 
+   blocked indefinitely while still attaining a certain portion of @{term t} to complete 
+   its task, then this bound @{term BC} can be lifted to function depending on @{term t}
