Abstract:In a tiered cache, eviction is a graph decision: removing one aligned storage block can disconnect downstream demand that never addressed that block directly, so request recency alone cannot price the action. This paper studies aligned eviction as a vertex-separation problem and gives a selection rule whose decisions carry independently checkable service-cut evidence. For every candidate block, it computes the exact weighted downstream demand cut, rejects actions that disconnect protected demand, and selects the minimum-impact admissible eviction. Reclamation is characterized as vertex separation: minimum-location reclamation reduces to node-capacitated flow, while minimum aligned block actions are NP-complete. In two-hop cache networks, one streaming pass evaluates every candidate impact; a matching adversarial construction proves that a history-only victim selector has unbounded one-step damage. The packet-scale implementation combines a seed-indexed exact-cardinality residency structure with collision-aware, 32-bank impact counters. Replay compression makes the result auditable: counter intervals reproduce the stream, exact monoid summaries retain every reported additive statistic, and a counting lower bound quantifies the state required by any exact all-candidate summary. A 144-scenario evaluation processes 582.90 trillion packets (404.86 PiB of simulated payload), validates the coordinate expectations, and exposes a zero-impact extreme-value transition near $N\zeta=\log m$. Complete impact vectors, decoded audit samples, telemetry, and logs remain within the ancillary-file budget. Finally, invalidation is monotone replicated state: fair asynchronous delivery converges without coordination, with a diameter bound under synchronous full-edge rounds. The architecture therefore binds capacity reclamation, path continuity, and distributed invalidation to one certifying interface.
