IV.   Consensus

Performance is an action itself or its completion as stipulated and required under some form of Consensus. Hence, the performance of a Consensus is executing the actions required by the terms of the Consensus.

By the very nature of a Consensus, all forms of consensus define at least one action to be performed by all parties, namely to follow the terms of the Consensus. Thus, performance of a Consensus is equivalent with honoring a Consensus.

As performance is equivalent to honoring the terms of a Consensus, non-performance is equivalent to dishonoring the terms of a Consensus.

While performance is equivalent to honoring the terms of a Consensus, it cannot be presumed as acceptance of the validity of the Consensus itself, nor substitute to Consent.
