**Sector:** A `sector` is a unit of storage over which a miner performs a *Proof-of-Replication* to convince the network and their clients that they are dedicating physical storage to the data they promised to store.

**Mining Cycle:** A miner stores data from the Storage Market in a sector. When the miner fills the sector, they *seal* the sector sector. The miner then posts to the chain the the cryptographic commitments (1) of the original data, `commD`, and (2) of the sealed data, `commR`. In addition, the miner submits a convincing *proof* that the data behind `commR` is a correct encoding of the data behind `commD`. This process is called `Sector Commitment`.
