Exhibit 01 / Block Permit Office

Two deliveries arrive together.

A one-lane counter has one next slot. The blockDAG files both deliveries, then sorts out their order.

Curated arrival / watch first

Two deliveries hit the counter together.

This scene starts on its own. The same arrival reaches both filing systems.

Block A Block B same arrival
One next slot Block A stays. Block B waits outside this record.
BlockDAG record Block A and Block B stay. Their order can follow.

Two arrivals are ready. The counters are filing the same input.

Try different arrivals

The counters are ready. Send one block or send two together.

Single-chain model

There is one next place. In a collision, one arrival is kept and the other is excluded from this record.

received 0kept 0excluded 0

BlockDAG model

Valid arrivals remain in the record. Parent references give the ordering rule more to work with.

received 0kept 0excluded 0

The detailed filing will appear after you send an arrival.

Field notes: This is a simplified model with the same arrivals sent to both lanes. The rate and delay are model inputs, not a live network reading. A block excluded by the single-chain model still represents work that was performed in the input.
