Memory Drainability: Understanding Structural Memory Leaks

DOI

Allocators using coarse-grained reclamation (slabs, arenas, epochs) can exhibit unbounded retention even when all objects are freed. A single long-lived allocation pins an entire granule. This work formalizes when bounded retention is possible and provides measurement tools validated on Redis, where deleting 50% of keys freed 195K objects but reclaimed 0 slabs

Normalization Confluence: Coordination-Free Convergence with Compensation

DOI

Event-driven systems can converge without coordination even when operations violate invariants and don't commute—if compensation is well-founded and commutative. This work identifies a third convergence regime alongside CRDTs and invariant confluence, where compensated results commute even though operations don't.

  • WFC + CC conditions guarantee convergence via Newman's Lemma
  • Verification calculus reduces global CC obligation to local per-event-pair checks
  • Build-time verification tools with exhaustive state-space enumeration

Federated Normalization Confluence: Multi-Organizational Convergence

DOI

Extends normalization confluence to federated environments where multiple registries are connected by morphisms encoding cross-organizational constraints. For tree-shaped networks, proves federated convergence requires only morphism validity preservation—all other conditions derive from network acyclicity via an authority argument

  • Authority argument: Source normal forms deterministically control target shared components
  • Federated construction: Reduces multi-registry problem to single-registry case
  • Necessity proofs: Acyclicity required (cyclic morphisms cause compensation cycles), validity preservation required (morphism repair and local compensation oscillate)
