LatticeCommit

Geometric neighbor consensus

Definition

Mechanism

Agents are arranged in a virtual lattice. A StateTransition is only valid if it is cryptographically signed by the agent AND its immediate geometric neighbors (Up, Down, Left, Right). Quorum is local, not global. It requires a localized Quorum of geometric neighbors to validate StateTransitions.

Preconditions

  1. Network topology is static/known

Invariants

  1. Local Quorum: Commit requires signatures from defined Geometric Neighbors
  2. Progress must be monotonic - no backtracking.
  3. Topology Check: Node degree must match Lattice definition (e.g. 4 for 2D grid)

Risks

Failure modes

  1. Fracture of the lattice isolates clusters.
