# Here we prove the first accountability property: if two well-behaved nodes
# disagree, then there are two quorums Q1 and Q2 such that all members of the
# intersection of Q1 and Q2 have violated the accountability properties.
# The proof is done in two steps: first we prove the abstract specification
# satisfies the property, and then we show by refinement that this property
# also holds in the concrete specification.
# To see what is checked in the refinement proof, use `ivy_show isolate=accountable_safety_1 accountable_safety_1.ivy`
# To see what is checked in the abstract correctness proof, use `ivy_show isolate=abstract_accountable_safety_1 accountable_safety_1.ivy`
# To check the whole proof, use `ivy_check accountable_safety_1.ivy`.
# Proof of the accountability property in the abstract specification
# ==================================================================
# We prove with tactics (see `lemma_1` and `lemma_2`) that, if some basic
# invariants hold (see `invs` below), then the accountability property holds.
