Stability in geodesics for memoryless binary long-lived consensus

The determination of the stability of the long-lived consensus problem is a fundamental open problem in distributed systems. We concentrate on the memoryless binary case with geodesic paths. We offer a conjecture on the stability in this case, exhibit two classes of colourings which attain this conjectured bound, and improve the known lower bounds for all colourings. We also introduce a related parameter, which measures the stability only for certain geodesics, and for which we also prove lower bounds.
