Why does DAGKNIGHT use no hardcoded latency parameters?

DAGKNIGHT dynamically adapts to actual network performance rather than relying on worst-case assumptions built into the protocol, which is what makes it parameterless. Traditional consensus protocols set their timing rules based on the slowest possible scenario — assuming maximum propagation delays at all times. This is cautious, but it also means performance is permanently capped at those conservative assumptions even when conditions are much better. DAGKNIGHT removes those hardcoded latency bounds entirely, letting the protocol adjust as real network conditions change. For a beginner, the practical point is that DAGKNIGHT is designed to respond to how the network actually behaves rather than how it might behave in the worst case.
