🌪️ It happens when a **medium-priority** thread preempts the low-priority thread that holds the lock. Since the high-priority thread is waiting for the lock, and the low-priority thread can't run to release it because of the medium thread, the high-priority thread is blocked for an **indeterminate (unbounded)** amount of time.
