Well there is one transactor, the transactor handles each transaction sequential, so the transactor can abort a transaction when the world has changed since it got queued to the transactor.

There is (virtually) infinite read scalability. Each datum has a time associated with it, so you might not see the latest information (yet), you know the state of the world at a certain point in time.

I think it 's a really well designed system.

Ok. Perhaps we should start an os project trying to build it. Where s an example in another language?
