A triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and $c$ is given. Denote by $s$ the semiperimeter, that is $s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$. Construct a triangle with sides $s - a$, $s - b$, and $s - c$. This process is repeated until a triangle can no longer be constructed with the side lengths given. For which original triangles can this process be repeated indefinitely?
