# How do the findings change with the block production rate f? All prior studies fixed f=1/30
# (one block every 30 s, since 1 slot = 1 s). f sets the block interval 1/f, which the uncle-window
# study showed is what drives the required W — and a denser block rate means a given delay spans
# more blocks, so more forking. Here we compare block intervals of 10, 15, 20, 30 s (f = 1/10,
# 1/15, 1/20, 1/30) across delay, uncle cap U, and window W. Blend mixnet, geographic transport.

# f = 1 / (block interval in seconds): 1/10, 1/15, 1/20, 1/30. Everything else (epoch/window
# geometry) derives from (k, f), so a denser f simply shortens the epoch and packs blocks closer.
