            Abstract : 
The authors present a novel structural induction theorem for rings consisting of identical components that are modeled using a Petri net and a temporal logic formula. The theorem can be used to formally infer the correctness of a ring of any large size from the correctness of a ring having fewer components.. The use of the theorem is illustrated using the problem of demand-driven token circulation
