Protocol Review: Gossip
“This report presents a procedural analysis of gossip as a decentralized coordination protocol across three domains: anthropological village gossip, distributed systems gossip protocols, and Twitter’s Community Notes. Each system is examined through a uniform schema: actors and roles, message formats, admission rules, incentives, state transitions, error handling, and failure modes.”
