# Determinism of admission

A transition is admitted if and only if it is proved. There is no gas exhaustion mid-flight, no dependence on the state the moment execution happened to run, and no execution environment for behaviour to vary with. Validity is a property of the transaction as a mathematical object, decided before submission and checked identically by everyone. What the author proved is what the chain enforced, and both are the predicate the author wrote. 

The soundness page states precisely what a proof establishes and on what published grounds. The performance page puts numbers on proving and verification.
