Abstract
Methods and systems for information state sharing and consistency maintenance in a distributed and decentralized network are presented. At a first node of a network, a first information state message (ISM) in a hypothesis phase is generated. The first ISM is propagated to at least one node of a spanning tree of the network, the spanning tree having a root at the first node. A verification opinion is received from the at least one node indicating if a state in the first ISM is verified by the at least one node. A consensus regarding the state in the first ISM is determined based on the verification opinion from the at least one node. A second ISM indicating a confirmed phase is propagated to the spanning tree if the consensus on the state of the ISM is reached.
