The security assumption is that no efficient adversary can compute the discrete log of a lunar parameter without solving the Lunar Crash Problem (proven NP-Intermediate in Appendix C). Traditional finality is monotonic: once a block is finalized, it cannot be reverted. LUNACID v2.1.4 introduces Non-Monotonic Finality —blocks can be "eclipsed" (replaced) only within a shrinking time window, after which they achieve Singularity .
False positive rate: $0.16%$ (tested on 10,000 nodes simulating Martian network latency). 5. Security Analysis 5.1 Eclipse Resistance via Tidal Locking In v2.1.2, an adversary controlling $0.34n$ nodes could isolate a victim by surrounding them in the peer graph. v2.1.4 enforces Tidal Locking : a node's peer set is deterministically rotated every Tide based on the hash of the previous Singularity block. This makes eclipse attacks computationally equivalent to solving a random Hamiltonian cycle in a Lunar graph ($\textNP-Complete$). 5.2 Long-Range Attack Mitigation Long-range attacks are thwarted via Gravitational Checkpoints . Every 144 Tides (one "Lunar Day"), nodes perform a Hard Sync requiring a zero-knowledge proof of stake history since genesis. The proof is generated by the Mare layer in $O(\log n)$ time. 6. Performance Evaluation We benchmarked LUNACID v2.1.4 against PBFT (Tendermint) and HotStuff on a global AWS deployment (100 nodes, 300ms RTT). [4] Buterin, V

For a block $B$ at height $h$, its finality score $\Phi(B)$ is defined as:
