I'm not sure why a clustered system can't be distributed? One can always argue over taxonomy, but clustered systems are typically considered to be a type of a distributed system. I'm also super curious why you think blockchain systems don't have actors that work independently of each other? I was always under the impression that was the entire point.

>clustered systems are typically considered to be a type of a distributed system. Sort of. However, a Perforce server with local replicas is not the same thing as a fully offline git transaction, for example. >I'm also super curious why you think blockchain systems don't have actors that work independently of each other? They work as part of the network but two users can't make a transaction without having to involve the network.
