1. A system for maintaining consistency of a data value using a probability, comprising:
an interface configured to:
receive a data value for storing; and
a hardware processor configured to:
store the data value in a data element of a data structure;
determine, using an adaptive filter, a probability of certainty that the data value is correct based at least in part on a consistency of the data value with a set of related previously stored data values in previously stored data elements of a previously stored data structure, wherein the adaptive filter receives the set of related previously stored data values as input to determine the probability of certainty associated with the data value, and wherein the adaptive filter provides as output the probability of certainty;
store the probability of certainty associated with the data value in the data structure;
reduce the probability of certainty associated with the data value to a reduced probability of certainty based at least in part on an amount of time since the data value was updated;
determine whether the reduced probability of certainty associated with the data value is below a threshold; and
in response to a determination that the reduced probability of certainty associated with the data value is below the threshold:
determine a new data value;
store the new data value in the data structure;
determine a new probability of certainty associated with the new data value; and
store the new probability of certainty associated with the new data value in the data structure.
