says that both transitions AtoB and BtoC must eventually occur when they remain enabled, for every possible value. This is typically what you want : any value that is at "A" will eventually move to "B" and then to "C", assuming that there are no conflicting transitions.
In contrast,
is a very weak condition. Assuming that at least one value v is initially at "A", a behavior that stutters forever satisfies this fairness condition: v is never at "B", thus the transition BtoC is always disabled for value v, and therefore the fairness condition WF_Vars(BtoC(v)) holds, hence the entire formula.
Figuring out the meaning of the other conditions is a nice exercise.
