1. A waiting period or timeout that has a defined, limited duration; commonly used in computing and systems theory to describe a wait condition that will eventually terminate.
The system implements a finite wait before retrying the failed connection.
O sistema implementa uma espera finita antes de tentar reconectar.
2. In formal verification and model checking, a state where a process waits for a bounded amount of time.
The protocol guarantees a finite wait for all processes to reach consensus.
O protocolo garante uma espera finita para todos os processos atingirem consenso.
