TicToc: Time Traveling Optimistic Concurrency Control

Summary: TicToc is an OCC that removes timestamps by encoding read/write timestamps per tuple and computing a commit timestamp lazily at commit. A protocol lets commit timestamps move forward in logical time, boosting concurrency while preserving serializability. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
