The usual answer is coordination: a leader +assigns positions, or the nodes vote on them. Either way the decision costs +message rounds, and a round cannot be faster than the signal travelling between +the parties. Across continents that floor is tens to hundreds of milliseconds +per round, so the number of rounds a protocol needs largely sets what it can +achieve. + +The question these specifications come from is narrower than "can we avoid +consensus", and worth separating from it: **can a node decide whether to accept +an item without asking anyone?** If the decision is local, it costs no round. +Whether the accepted sets then agree across nodes is a second question, and the +two should not be conflated — the first module answers the first question, and +conflating them is exactly the error an earlier version of this file made. + +## How it works + +An item carries the slot it was stamped for. Each node keeps its own slot +counter and admits an item by comparing the two — a local predicate, evaluated +once, with no message sent and nobody consulted. There is no leader, no quorum +and no vote in the admission path. + +Because the rule is the same everywhere and the stamp travels with the item, +two nodes applying it to the same item reach the same verdict without +communicating about it. That is the whole mechanism, and its modest size is the +point: what it buys is that admission adds no round trip, and what it does +*not* buy is agreement on the resulting sets, which needs its own layer and its +own argument. + +Deciding locally raises three obligations, and they are what the modules +establish: that no node admits an item stamped for a slot it has not reached; +that no item is admitted twice, including across a crash; and that a stricter +variant of the rule can be adopted without reproving anything. + +## Two admission rules + +The rules differ by one operator, and both are specified because both exist. + +| module | rule | meaning | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot` | `m.cslot <= current_slot` | the default. An item stamped for slot *k* that arrives late is still admitted, into slot *k*. Nothing is dropped. | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_TTL` | `m.cslot = current_slot` | an opt-in mode for bounded memory. An item that misses its slot is refused permanently, so state does not grow behind the frontier. | + +The strict rule is a concession to memory, not a stronger protocol, and the +modules say so rather than assert it: + +* `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_TTL_Proofs` proves `Spec => C!Spec` — the strict mode + refines the default, so every safety property of the default is inherited + rather than reproved. Equality is a stronger gate than `<=`; nothing else + differs. +* `MC_Vortex_DSE_CSlot_TTL_admission.cfg` is a deliberate liveness failure. + `EventualAdmission` holds under the default rule and fails here, because an + item whose slot has passed is refused for good. That is the price of the + strict rule, checked rather than described. + +## What these modules do not cover + +Stated plainly, because a reader should be able to tell what is proved from +what is merely present: + +* **This is not a consensus protocol, and these modules do not model one.** + What is here is local slot admission plus an idealized set reconciliation + over it. +* **Delivery is a single global `network` set.** There is no per-node delivery + state, no selective loss, no conflicting payloads under one id, no ordering + within a slot, and no replicated application state. +* **`Reconcile` assigns the union in one atomic step.** Agreement is therefore + a property of that action rather than something a reconciliation protocol + establishes. The module is named for the layer it stands in for, not for a + protocol it contains. +* **The TTL module never deletes anything.** Bounded memory is the entire + reason that mode exists, and it is not modelled here; only what the strict + rule refuses is. +* **`Vortex_DSE_CSlot_Skew` states an assumption, not a mechanism.** It bounds + pairwise clock skew structurally, by forbidding any tick that would breach + `MaxSkew`, and says nothing about what would maintain that bound. +* **Admission and agreement are not composed.** They are specified separately + and not shown to hold together. + +The implementation these specifications describe is not part of this +contribution, and no claim about its behaviour is made or checked here. + +## Modules + +| module | what it adds | +| --- | --- | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot` | admission, crash and rejoin via a persisted snapshot | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_Proofs` | `TypeCorrect`, `NoFutureAdmissionCorrect` | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_ExactlyOnce_Proof` | `StrictExactlyOnceCorrect` | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_TTL` | the strict admission rule | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_TTL_Proofs` | that the strict rule refines the default | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_Skew` | a per-node clock in place of the global one, with forged slot stamps injected | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_AE` | `Freeze`, `Reconcile`, `Commit` over the strict rule | +| `Vortex_DSE_CSlot_AE_Proofs` | deductive proofs for that layer | + +`Vortex_DSE_CSlot_AE` is specified over the strict rule and is not a refinement +of the default one. Extending it to the late-tolerant rule means restating what +"no reordering across slots" should mean, which is not attempted here. + +No specification carries a slot horizon: the ticker is unbounded and the +adversary may forge any slot in `Nat`. Horizons belong to model checking and +live in the `MC_` modules, which bound the actions directly rather than by state +constraint — under a constraint TLC evaluates invariants on the state that +crosses the boundary before discarding it, which is unsound for these +properties. `MaxSkew` is the one bound that stays in a specification, because it +is an assumption the protocol relies on rather than an artifact of checking. + +## What is checked + +Every TLAPS proof discharges under `tlapm --strict`, which fails on unproved +obligations and on steps left open; a plain `tlapm` invocation exits 0 in both +cases.
