Function knowable_horizon 

Source
pub fn knowable_horizon(now_nanos: i64, light_delay_nanos: i64) -> i64
Expand description

The freshest remote time you can possibly know: an event happening at a node light_delay_nanos away cannot be observed before now − light_delay. This is the light-cone horizon — the reason a distributed clock’s knowledge is principled-uncertain rather than sloppy.
