Well, yes, I just made a sumary. Eventually the airplane potches down and will tend to maintain alpha prot.

But if deceleration rate is very high, the aoa can exceed alpha prot. Somewhere in between that and alpha max, flight augmentation will trigger alpha floor. It can happen, but only if high aoa protection is unable to arrest the aoa increase before.
