8. Routing (Least-Congestion = Effective Shortest Time) and
Tracking Delivery routes are computed from the destination unit's coordinates and the ledger-based map,
generating recommended routes that minimize expected delay at the current time. In physical
networks, congestion dominates delay, so the optimization principle is: 'prioritizing routes that are
less likely to clog leads to the shortest effective arrival time'.
Each unit includes an authority AI. When it detects downstream failure or congestion, it may guide a
packet to an alternate route even if it differs from the planned path. Shipment status is recorded to
the ledger as milestone events, and the app displays approximate real-time progress by reading
those events.
