determining, by the first node, a third node able to document the aberration for a minimum period of time and another period of time; notifying, by the first node, the third node to document the aberration for the minimum period of time in a first mode and to document the aberration in a second mode for the another period of time; receiving, by the first node, the documentation in the first mode; confirming, by the first node, the aberration on the second node by comparing the documentation against a documentation of the second node; and notifying the second node of the aberration upon confirming the aberration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising notifying, by the first node, the third node to document the aberration for another period of time in a second mode. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising sending, by the first node, the documentation in the first mode to the second node. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising: responsive to a confirmation of the aberration, determining, by the first node, a severity of the aberration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising notifying, by the first node, at least one other node proximate to the second node of the aberration. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising receiving a confirmation to document the aberration for the minimum period of time, wherein the confirmation comprises a blockchain consensus between peers represented by the first node and the third node. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, comprising executing a smart contract to record the documentation on a blockchain based on the blockchain consensus. ### Claim 8 A system, comprising: a processor of a first node; a memory on which are stored machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a location of an aberration on a second node; determine a third node able to document the aberration for a minimum period of time and another period of time; notify the third node to document the aberration for the minimum period of time in a first mode and to document the aberration in a second mode for the another period of time; receive the documentation; and confirm, by the first node, the aberration on the second node by comparing the documentation against a documentation of the second node; and notify the second node of the aberration upon confirming the aberration. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to notify the third node to document the aberration for another period of time in a second mode. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to send the documentation in the first mode to the second node. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to: responsive to a confirmation of the aberration, determine a severity of the aberration. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to notify at least one other node proximate to the second node of the aberration. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to receive a confirmation to document the aberration for the minimum period of time, wherein the confirmation comprises a blockchain consensus between peers represented by the first node and the third node. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to execute a smart contract to record the documentation on a blockchain based on the blockchain consensus. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform: determining a location of an aberration on a second node; determining a third node able to document the aberration for a minimum period of time and another period of time; notifying the third node to document the aberration for the minimum period of time in a first mode and to document the aberration in a second mode for the another period of time receiving the documentation; confirming, by the first node, the aberration on the second node by comparing the documentation against a documentation of the second node; and notify the second node of the aberration upon confirming the aberration. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions, that when read by the processor, cause the processor to notify the third node to document the aberration for another period of time in a second mode. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions, that when read by the processor, cause the processor to send the documentation in the first mode to the second node. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions, that when read by the processor, cause the processor to: responsive to a confirmation of the aberration, determine a severity of the aberration. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions, that when read by the processor, cause the processor to receive a confirmation to document the aberration for the minimum period of time, wherein the confirmation comprises a blockchain consensus between peers represented by the first node and the third node. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, further comprising instructions, that when read by the processor, cause the processor to execute a smart contract to record the documentation on a blockchain based on the blockchain consensus.
