Consider a self-stabilized distributed system based on shared memory and the processor $p_{i}$ be connected to the processor $p_{j}$. Suppose we are going to solve a problem like finding a maximal independent set or minimal dominating set and we need to break symmetry. For breaking symmetry, we use id of processors.
My Question: When $p_{i}$ reads the id of $p_{j}$, a failure can occurs in this operation?
