The order in which messages are processed is crucial in this application. When the _disarm_ and _open_ commands arrive with the same tag, the _disarm_ service needs to be invoked before opening the door, otherwise the escape slide will be erroneously deployed.

Lingua Franca guarantees determinism in the execution order of reactions with logically simultaneous inputs, and the order is given by the the order of declaration of the reactions inside the reactor. It is then sufficient to declare the `disarm` reaction _before_ the `open` one. The diagram confirms the execution order by labeling the `disarm` reaction with 1 and the `open` reaction with 2.

The problem is that even though the messages are _logically_ simultaneous, they do not arrive at the same _physical_ time. In fact, if the `open` command from the cockpit is likely to arrive before the clearance from the camera because the camera realizes an expensive computer-vision algorithm. The door, consequently, has to wait for both inputs before invoking the _opening_ service.

This is then an example of an application that cannot safely proceed without assurance on its inputs. The following section explains how to obtain the desired behavior in Lingua Franca using the decentralized coordinator (the centralized coordinator automatically provides the required assurance).
