> What you describe is a very important distinction from Calvin, as this mechanism for deriving a global log is core to its design. The salient aspect of the paper is how it derives the log logically, not how that is mechanically implemented in a real system outside of academia. > However, none of the prior issues you responded to were problems with the original Calvin paper either, at least by my reading.

That much is clear to me now.
