📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Retry", "distinction": "A retry is deliberate and bounded; a loop has lost its bound."}, {"term": "Stall", "distinction": "A loop is busy and going nowhere; a stall has stopped entirely."}, {"term": "Loop (ARR)", "distinction": "The communications Loop (ARR) is one deliberate ask-relay-reply cycle between two people \u2014 healthy, tracked work. THIS loop is work repeating without progressing."}]
