### Block proposal

A validator is expected to propose a [`SignedBeaconBlock`](./beacon-chain.md#signedbeaconblock) at
the beginning of any slot during which `is_proposer(state, validator_index)` returns `True`.
To propose, the validator selects the `BeaconBlock`, `parent`,
that in their view of the fork choice is the head of the chain during `slot - 1`.
the beginning of any `slot` during which `is_proposer(state, validator_index)` returns `True`.

To propose, the validator selects the `BeaconBlock`, `parent` which:

1. In their view of fork choice is the head of the chain at the start of
`slot`, after applying any queued attestations from `slot - 1`.
2. Is from a slot strictly less than the slot of the block about to be proposed,
i.e. `parent.slot < slot`.

The validator creates, signs, and broadcasts a `block` that is a child of `parent`
that satisfies a valid [beacon chain state transition](./beacon-chain.md#beacon-chain-state-transition-function).
