CAP Theorem Visualizer
During a network partition you cannot have both perfect consistency and perfect availability. Choose a preference and inspect allowed operations.

Partition the network, choose CP vs AP preference, and see which client operations remain available.
Classic CAP teaching model with two sides of a partition. Real systems are richer (PACELC, tunable consistency), but this captures the core trade-off.
Reminder
CAP is about partition behavior. Outside partitions, many systems provide both consistency and availability in practice.
