The two generals problem has the assumption of finite communication speed as its foundation. So, to fails if one does have infinite communication speed. This post shows how the assumption is indead correct.
- praptak 15y ago"The two generals problem has the assumption of finite communication speed as its foundation." No. The messages could as well be delivered instantaneously, the impossibility proof does not take advantage of non-finite delivery time.
- cassandravoiton 15y agoI see your point. However, if information transfer is actually infinitely fast then the to physical points become one point in information space and the two generals become one general.
- praptak 15y agoNo, not in the presence of delivery failures.
- cassandravoiton 15y agoCan you fail to deliver something if there is no time in which the failure can occur? Not sure...
