Byzantine Notations are an advanced technique used to describe the intricacies of escalations. They involve using Byzantine Generals, a type of distributed system where each general has a unique perspective on the situation.
For example, General X says, "The enemy is at the gates." General Y responds, "Actually, General X, I've detected a 37.4% probability of enemy presence within a 5.6 km radius." General Z chimes in, "But what about the 3.2 km radius of uncertainty? Have you considered the implications of our current position?"
Exercise: Create a Byzantine Notation system with at least 5 Generals and have them argue over the meaning of "escalation."
