Some of your ideas are very interesting, almost like you're testing the water on certain ideas. For example, I finally understand your article on not keeping state. Basically this means that bitcoin would order its transactions somehow etc, making it deterministic.

Are many games really doing this stateless thing completely? There is a game where it creates the universe as far as you want go based on a formula. But wow, determining state from millions of actions gets really really hard the more interactions happen or intersect in one place. I suppose each 'location' or however you prune the tree, could independantly watch only those events effecting that location.

But these theories are useful and interesting. I like image something then try to find a way to do it, but knowing what is possible helps us see the possibilities. Surely though, you are writing about something specific you're trying to accomplish.

Let me think ideas through, here. What if we could determine state independantly as nodes simply by recieving transactions. After 1 or 2 second of waiting, you have all transactions from various nodes, thus a deterministic ordered list. Then you make a tiny signed summary of what you have, send it out, and nodes reply: yes we and others have the same thing.
