Scalar Logical Clock

Process Management: Use the plus (+) and minus (−) buttons to add and delete processes in the simulation.
Clock Increment: After adding a process, you can adjust the clock increment value for that process.
Mode Toggle: Switch between Add and Delete modes using the respective buttons.
Event Addition: Click to add events on the timeline of each process.
Timeline Navigation: Use the scrollbar to move left and right through time.
Message Creation: Add messages between different processes to observe their effects.

Event Visualization: See event times and their relationships clearly displayed.
Event Popups: Hover over events to view detailed timing information and clock values.
Causal Relationships: Visual representation of message passing and event ordering.
Test Mode: Challenge yourself with generated scenarios to test your understanding.

Clock Rules: Each process maintains its own logical clock that increments with local events.
Message Sending: When sending a message, the process includes its current clock value.
Message Receiving: On receiving a message, set clock = max(local_clock, message_clock) + 1.
Event Ordering: Logical clocks help establish partial ordering of events in distributed systems.

Consistency: Understand how inconsistent states can occur due to message deadlocks.
Concurrency: Observe cases where causal relationships cannot be established between events.
Scalar Time Limitations: Learn why scalar clocks alone are insufficient for complete event ordering.
Distributed Systems: Gain insights into time synchronization challenges in distributed environments.
