Sacrificing Serializability to Attain High Availability of Data in an Unreliable Network

Summary: Log- and clock-free replicated-dictionary algorithm that sacrifices serializability to achieve high availability under node failures and message loss/duplication. Defines history-dependent 'best-effort' weak-consistency tailored to dictionary ops, specifying behavior under partial failures. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
