So, if there is a `POL(v,r)` with `r > v.round`, then there is a valid
`POL(v,vr)` with `v.round <= vr < r`.
From this point, the reasoning becomes recursive: either `vr == v.round` and
From this point, the reasoning becomes recursive: either `vr = v.round` and
`POL(v,vr)` is a timely proof-of-lock, or there is another `POL(v,vr')` with
`vr' < vr`, recursively leading to the first scenario (as `vr` necessarily
decreases at each recursive iteration).
