Causal Consistency / Latency/Availability
Kind: tension
Record: tension:causal-consistency-latency-availability
Canonical: Schema
"causal-consistency" (causality-core layer) is traded against "Latency/Availability" (causality-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Latency/Availability" and choosing an explicit operating point.
