This is an intriguing paper. This seems highly related to proof of work algorithms in blockchain systems. Working out which events happened and at what time.

  Or distributed databases that are vulnerable to clock skew.

    Just because it's not Byzantine doesn't mean it might not be relevant to proof of work algorithms where one of the challenges is understanding when work was completed relative to other components.

      You might as well say the flap of the wings of a butterfly in Africa may later become the cause a hurricane in the US.
