True consensus is never about a central source broadcasting the identical message to every participant. Rather, it is achieved when all parties independently evaluate the exact same information and arrive at the identical conclusion on their own.
This alignment happens because each individual node conducts its own separate verification process utilizing a universal set of guidelines, which is why they almost always reach the exact same outcome. Should a node encounter a block that violates these shared regulations, it simply discards the invalid data and moves forward with its operations. The rejection is immediate and final, requiring no voting procedures, review committees, or avenues for appeal.
