# 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`.

# invariants hold (see `invs` below), then the accountability property holds.
