    1. The PoH stream includes ticks; empty entries that indicate liveness of the leader and the passage of time on the cluster.
    2. A leader's stream begins with the tick entries necessary to complete PoH back to the leader's most recently observed prior leader slot.
 6. Validators retransmit entries to peers in their set and to further downstream nodes.
