Expected time: 60 seconds
Order survives a bad clock
Two devices write one shared story even though one reports the wrong time.
What you are looking at
Two simulated machines, their local clocks, and a frame list. Each frame contains the fingerprint of the frame before it.
Do this
- Run the guided sample.
- Switch to wall-clock sorting, then back to dependency order.
- Tamper with frame 1's predecessor link.
Watch for
Time sorting can place a later action before its predecessor. Dependency order remains intact until the deliberate link mutation turns chain verification red.
What this demonstrates
Dependency links—not claimed timestamps—establish the sequence, and recomputation detects a changed link. The page does not model signatures or transport.
