A path towards a real solution to the Two Generals problem
Now, I understand that the two generals problem is considered unsolvable, but, I can’t help but to wonder if unorthodox approach can actually bring about a solution to the problem.
My proposal as a solution is:
Send a messenger that is not worth capturing, and if captured can still deliver the message.
This would remove the enemy in the middle as resistance entirely.
I know exactly how to translate this into something tangible but this is just early scheming.
