We define and investigate consensus for a set ofNprocesses embedded in thed-dimensional plane,, which we call theGeoconsensus Problem. The processes have unique coordinates and can communicate with each other through oral messages. Faulty processes are covered by a finite-size convex fault areaF. The correct processes know the fault area size but not its location. We prove that the geoconsensus is impossible if all processes may be covered by at most three areas the size of the fault area.On the constructive side, forfault areasFof arbitrary shape with diameterD, we present a consensus algorithmBASICthat toleratesByzantine processes provided that there areprocesses with pairwise distance between them greater thanD. We present another consensus algorithmGENERICthat lifts this distance requirement. For squareFwith side,GENERICtoleratesByzantine processes given that all processes are covered by at least 22Maxis aligned squares of the same size asF. For a circularFof diameter,GENERICtoleratesByzantine processes if all processes are covered by at least 85Mcircles. We then estimate the tolerance ofGENERICfor various size combinations of fault and non-fault areas as well asd-dimensional process embeddings, where.
