Whru a dilt~lhSC is replicated at, many sites2 maintaining mutual consistrnry among t,he sites iu the fac:e of updat,es is a signitirant problem.This paper descrikrs several randomized algorit,hms for dist,rihut.ingupdates and driving t,he replicas toward consist,c>nc,y.The algorit Inns are very simple and require few guarant,ees from the underlying conllllunicat.iollsystem, yc+ they rnsutc t.hat.the off(~c~t, of ('very update is evcnt,uwlly rf+irt-ted in a11 rq1ica.s.The cost, and parformancc of t,hr algorithms arc tuned I>? c%oosing appropriat,c dist,rilMions in t,hc randoinizat,ioii step.TIN> idgoritlmls ilr(' c*los~*ly analogoIls t,o epidemics, and t,he epi-dcWliolog)-litc\ratiirc, ilitlh iii Illld~~rsti4lldill~ tlicir bc*liavior.One of tlW i$,oritlims 11&S brc>n implrmcWrd in the Clraringhousr sprv(brs of thr Xerox C'orporat~c~ Iiitcrnc4, solviiig long-standing prol>lf~lns of high traffic and tlatirl>ilsr inconsistcllcp.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
