5.0 Overview

5.0.1 Temporal Domains

The mesh organizes operations across time-sliced “epochs.”

Each epoch contains synchronization rounds:

SYNC_START → DELTA_PROP → QUORUM_VERIFY → MERGE_COMMIT

5.0.2 Behavior Engine Overview

Each node executes an internal behavior engine composed of trait-based states:

enum Behavior {
    Listen,
    Propagate,
    Reconcile,
    Sleep,
}

5.0.3 Reactive Time Scaling

Delta propagation frequency adapts based on network latency, using sliding window averages to throttle throughput and stabilize synchronization loops.

5.1 Region and Zone Synchronization (Inter-Domain Authority) : [U2]

Regions synchronize via cross-regional consensus loops, ensuring that state divergence between zones converges deterministically.

5.1.1 Zone Vector Clocks

Each zone maintains a VectorClock for every replicated data segment:
