Write up Crosslink 2 #142

Open daira opened 6 months ago

Add this to Potential Changes to Crosslink.

Basically the idea is to replace the Increasing Score rule in Crosslink with:

Linearity rule: $\mathsf{snapshot}(B \lceil{\mathrm{bft}}^1) \preceq{\mathrm{bc}} \mathsf{snapshot}(B)$.

This is at least as safe because the Linearity rule implies the Increasing Score rule. It has many consquences!
