Light Cone Consistency unifies 50+ consistency models as configurations of causal closure, fork resolution, and timeliness on causal logs and shows that CAP, FLP, and AFC form an entangled impossibility triangle that any real system must exit by relaxing at least one parameter.

Light Cone Consistency: Toward a Unified Theory of Consistency in Message-Passing Systems
Light Cone Consistency unifies 50+ consistency models as configurations of causal closure, fork resolution, and timeliness on causal logs and shows that CAP, FLP, and AFC form an entangled impossibility triangle that any real system must exit by relaxing at least one parameter.
