Abstract	We propose a new approach to specifying and reasoning about forward recovery fault tolerant programs. We call it \emph{ideal stabilization}. The program is ideally stabilizing if its every state is legitimate. Ideal stabilization allows the specification designer to prescribe, with arbitrary degree of precision, not only the fault-free program behavior but also its recovery operation. Unlike the classic variant, ideal stabilization is particularly suitable for program composition. Specifications may or may not mention all possible states. We identify approaches to designing ideal stabilization to both classes of specifications. For the first class, we state the necessary condition for an ideally stabilizing solution. On the basis of this condition we prove that there is no ideally stabilizing solution to the leader election problem. We illustrate the utility of the concept of ideal stabilization by providing examples of well-known programs and proving them ideally stabilizing. Specifically, we prove ideal stabilization of the conflict manager, the alternator, the propagation of information with feedback and the alternating bit protocol.
