Chemistry behind Agreement

Summary: Framework decomposes agreement protocols into essential elements and 'atoms' that connect them, enabling concise expression and comparison across design dimensions and fault models. Clarifies correctness and guides design by mapping diverse protocol flavors into a common chemical-like algebra. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
