CAP theorem and FLP impossibility... What can be done to prevent the Stopocalypse?

This is just a kinda loose and pretty fresh idea that has been accumulating in my mind for some years now, and in the last 12 months I have done a fair bit of study on the subject of distributed systems, and as I was reading this forum I came across a subject relating to emergency responses in the event of a liveness failure, the main vulnerability of the Tendermint BFT consensus. I will just refer to biological systems, for a clue, and specifically, the way in which the brain and cardiovascular system coordinate with each other, at the lowest level. Our body has different levels of autonomy and automation and isolation between parts of the nervous system that act as firewalls that ensure that when something goes wrong, there is countermeasures. It seems to me that there is not much difference between this structure and how any fully resilient network system would retain its three vital properties, Consistency, Availability and Partition-tolerance/resistance. The design of the Tendermint consensus gives you C and P, but the A is therefore deprecated. For this reason, the one big danger of this model is that the whole system stops making blocks at all.
