The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Given the total number of loiter slots, UAV speed limits, and the minimum safety distance, a guidance algorithm is developed to compute the required speed of a loiter UAV in the transit lane to ensure safe reinsertion.

C2weakest assumption

UAVs can instantly adopt and hold the computed speed in the transit lane with perfect knowledge of all other UAV positions and no external disturbances such as wind or communication delays.

C3one line summary

A guidance algorithm computes the reinsertion speed for a UAV leaving a fixed-slot loiter lane to enter the main lane without violating safety distances, given slot count and speed limits.
