State resolution algorithm State resolution algorithm

.. WARNING::
This section documents the state resolution algorithm as implemented by
Synapse as of December 2017 (and therefore the de-facto Matrix protocol).
However, this algorithm is known to have some problems.

the room state :math:`S(E)` before :math:`E`, and depends on whether the room state :math:`S(E)` before :math:`E`, and depends on whether
