Consistency Models. Strict Consistency: operations are executed in order of wall-clock time (NTP). Sequential Consistency: operations are executed in some global ordering (Total Ordering). Causal arguments are inductive arguments in which the conclusion is a claim that one thing causes another.. For example:. Clogged arteries cause heart attacks. A rough surface produces friction.
