A320 pitch normal law-AOA protection

Huy guys,

hope someone can clear this up for me:

I understand that when speed goes below AlphaProt:
a) Stick-elevator becomes direct relationship
b) AP disconnects
c) you can pull the sidestick all the way back to maintain AlphaMax, but when released, it returns to AlphaProt.

my confusion is, if you can do (c), then when does the ALPHA FLOOR kick in?

if i pull the sidestick all the way back to AlphaMax, how do i know if the alpha floor is going to engage or not?

why in some cases you can pull all the way back to alphaMAx, then release and it returns to alphaProt (no alphafloor activation)? and in other cases, if you pull back and your speed drops below alphaProt (but speed is still above AlphaMAx) then alpha floor activates?

Appreciate any help on this!

Thanks guys!
