LEARN THE LINGO

Deterministic lockstep

A multiplayer approach that advances simulations from coordinated inputs under an expectation of matching results.

The plain-English version

A multiplayer approach that advances simulations from coordinated inputs under an expectation of matching results.

Why it matters

It requires controlling sources of divergence and defining what happens when inputs arrive late or simulations disagree.

Let’s make it click

Each participant advances the same turn only after collecting its required inputs, with checks that detect divergent state.

Vibe Bro’s heads-up

Using the same input is not enough if random sequences, floating-point behavior, timing, or external data differ.

The docs behind it

Editorial review · October 28, 2026

Supported: Coordinated inputs require matching simulation results in lockstep; random state, ordering, timing, and numeric differences can cause divergence.
