In this blog series, I have the following goals:

• Propose an alternate and more approachable definition of consensus.
• Expand the definition into concrete requirements.
• Break the problem down into goal-oriented rules.
• Provide algorithms and approaches to satisfy the rules with adequate explanations to prove correctness and safety.
• Show that existing algorithms are special cases of this generalization.

Today, we're releasing a series that presents a fresh perspective on consensus algorithms. Rather than treating consensus as a monolithic black box, we propose a conceptual framework that makes these systems more approachable, adaptable, and flexible.
