Chaining Engine
The chaining engine mechanism is responsible for connecting validated blocks to existing blocks and ensuring that new blocks are added to the chain in the correct sequence. The chaining engine provides information to the block maker mechanism about what the next block location should be.
Blocks are added to the chain in the correct order.
This pattern is covered in Blockchain Module 2: Blockchain Technology & Architecture.
