is 'concession' officially a part of the process of declaring a winner?

In theory, even if it was clear that Biden would win, could Trump just spend two whole weeks "not conceding" (with the excuse of waiting until every vote is counted) while looking for ways to litigate whichever states were close?

Alternate scenario: Let's imagine that we roll into Wednesday with PA/WI/MI still undeclared and those EV potentially deciding the result. Could Trump then start aggressively "declaring" himself the winner, pressuring Biden to concede and bringing up the 2016 comparison as evidence that the other side is just failing to concede fast enough? I feel like that's sort of what happened in 2000. I still don't know what should have happened with Florida, but after awhile, enough people were saying that Bush had won that everyone got tired of talking about it.

if anyone is interested,Ii found someone giving their take on these questions:



While this scenario seems unlikely to happen, the fact that it exists as a looming threat could still impact the process.
