Mechanisms

• Causal-Consistency Protocol
  • The classic misuse is assuming "causal" implies "latest," then being surprised when a perfectly legal read returns old data.

    This sourceCausal+ consistency preserves dependency order while permitting reads of older versions rather than requiring the latest value.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
