{"id":"consensus-architectures-are-inverse-optimizations","text":"Raft and Total Order Broadcast represent contrasting approaches to Paxos optimization: Raft centralizes proposal authority in a single elected leader (one election per term, then Phase-2-only replication), eliminating dueling proposals within a term, while TOB allows any node to propose for any slot using full two-phase Paxos each time, making it susceptible to competing proposals. These represent different points in the leader-based versus leaderless tradeoff space.","truth_value":"IN","source":"","source_url":"","source_hash":"","justifications":[],"dependents":[],"metadata":{},"explanation":{"steps":[{"node":"consensus-architectures-are-inverse-optimizations","truth_value":"IN","reason":"premise"}]}}
