Sorry for any deadlinks everyone doing some renovations:

There are other papers on the site. I think you folks will find the emissions paper among the more intriguing though I've been wrong before. Surprised myself a little bit on this design when it came together. It's an entirely different world when everything's deterministic, clock free, consensus free. Once your mind gets accustomed to that way of thinking, you just start seeing things that way and they flow together pretty easy.

There's always the chance that I'm missing something crucial, and so is why I share. Feel free to tear a strip off me if necessary. I've got broad shoulders.

Thanks,
