> In Hoare's model, livelock and deadlock cannot be distinguished,

This was true in the early days of CSP but the theory has evolved
a fair bit since then.  The current model explicitly includes
failures and divergences as part of the semantics of a process (in
addition to its traces); these were added in order to be able to
reason rigorously about deadlock and livelock respectively.

During my ten or so years at the PRG, I never once heard either Tony
Hoare or Carroll Morgan use the words "deadly embrace".
