Post-Deterministic Distributed Systems: A New Foundation for Trustworthy Autonomous Infrastructure
Researchers have introduced Post-Deterministic Distributed Systems (PDDS) as a new framework for managing autonomous infrastructure. This model accommodates environments where deterministic code, stochastic models, and autonomous agents operate together, acknowledging that deterministic execution is no longer the sole participant assumption. PDDS outlines five architectural pillars, including protocol-driven development and verifiable agentic infrastructure, to support this coexistence. AI
