Common use of Collisions Clause in Contracts

Collisions. ‌ Multicoordinated rounds have a drawback that does not exist in single-coordinated ones—collisions. In multicoordinated rounds, a collision happens when commands proposed concurrently arrive at the coordinators in different orders and this leads to their forwarding of incompatible c-structs. If no coordinator quorum forwards c-structs whose glb can extend the values previously accepted by the acceptors, the round is stuck since no new command can get accepted.
