novox/hq 04-ISSUES/145. "N machine(s), all doing what they were told, all heard from, running what the mesh would send them, and every module current with its source" was true for eleven hours of a mesh in which no module could reach another. An operator read it, and every routine check they made afterwards — ports from outside, routed services, egress — passed, because the broken path was module-to-module over the machine's own name and nothing exercises that. Every question the sentence answers is about the mesh and a machine agreeing: applied what it was sent, matches what would be sent, built from what the source has. None dials a provision, and the mesh composes every one of those grants itself. So the sentence now says so, in the reader's way, immediately below it. This is not the check ADR 0146 describes and does not pretend to be. It closes the distance between "the machines are as the mesh described them" and "it works" by naming it, which is where the eleven hours went. Also: printStatus is separated from the asking, so its exact words can be read by a test with no store, bus or machine. Those words have been acted on and been misleading twice — here, and a held module reading as a machine doing what it was told (04-ISSUES/125) — which makes them the thing worth holding still.
