Each block body contains a reference pointing to its \emph{parent} block.
The second element of the pair, \( p \geq 0 \), indicates the \emph{slot} where the block \( B \) is proposed.
By definition, if $B_p$ is the parent of $B$, then $B_p.p < B.p$.
The \emph{genesis block} is the only block that does not have a parent {and has a negative slot}.
The \emph{genesis block} is the only block that does not have a parent. Its slot is \( p = 0 \).
Given the definition above, each different block $B$ implicitly identifies a different finite \emph{chain} of blocks starting from block $B$, down to the genesis block, by recursively moving from a block to its parent.
Hence, there is no real distinction between a block and the chain that it identifies.
So, by chain $\chain$, we mean the chain identified by the block $\chain$.
