CONSTANTS
  TRUSTING_PERIOD,
    (* the period within which the validators are trusted *)
  CLOCK_DRIFT,
    (* the assumed precision of the clock *)
  REAL_CLOCK_DRIFT,
    (* the actual clock drift, which under normal circumstances should not
       be larger than CLOCK_DRIFT (otherwise, there will be a bug) *)
  FAULTY_RATIO
    (* a pair <<a, b>> that limits that ratio of faulty validator in the blockchain
       from above (exclusive). Tendermint security model prescribes 1 / 3. *)

VARIABLES  
  localClock (* current time as measured by the light client *)

(* the header is still within the trusting period *)
InTrustingPeriodLocal(header) ==
    \* note that the assumption about the drift reduces the period of trust
    localClock < header.time + TRUSTING_PERIOD - CLOCK_DRIFT

(* the header is still within the trusting period, even if the clock can go backwards *)
InTrustingPeriodLocalSurely(header) ==
    \* note that the assumption about the drift reduces the period of trust
    localClock < header.time + TRUSTING_PERIOD - 2 * CLOCK_DRIFT

(* ensure that the local clock does not drift far away from the global clock *)
