A miner's `Power Fraction` or `Power` is the ratio of their committed storage as of their last PoSt submission over Filecoin's total committed storage as of the current block. It is used in leader election.

### Power table

### Weight

Every mined block has a computed `weight`. Together, the `weights` of all the blocks in a branch of the chain determines the cumulative `weight` of that branch. Filecoin's Expected Consensus is a GHOSTy or heaviest-chain protocol, where chain selection is done on the basis of an explicit weighting function. Filecoin’s `weight` function currently seeks to incentivize collaboration amongst miners as well as the addition of storage to the network. The specific weighting function is defined in [Chain Weighting](expected_consensus#chain-weighting).
