Sources — State Consistency
Primary references supporting the definitional boundary and structural model.
Consistency Models and Guarantees
Consistency models define guarantees governing the relationships and observations permitted among distributed or replicated state.

State Consistency and Synchronization
State consistency can be treated as a system requirement distinct from the synchronization mechanisms used to maintain it.

Formal Consistency Definitions
Formal consistency definitions distinguish the guarantees imposed by different consistency models rather than assuming a single universal state relationship.
Source Boundary
These sources support the concepts of state consistency, consistency constraints and guarantees, permissible divergence, and the distinction between consistency requirements and implementation mechanisms.
The three-component State Consistency structure model presented in this reference is an analytical synthesis and is not represented as a source-defined standard.
