What’s interesting here, I think, is not the thesis but the prolific madness of some writers. I came to the same general conclusion about what I guess you could call “Byzantine sync” in like 2017 when I first read the Bitcoin white paper. But I didn’t feel the need to write a thesis. Like, it’s one of the first things you stumble over when you mull things. I mean maybe reality itself is a blooming blockchain where quantum state is actually local and echoes outward resolving with some wild rules when there are conflicts, and the expansion of the universe is due to an accretion of this past information, stacking up in some imperceptible yet dimension. The other thing is solving global consistency isn’t necessarily… well, necessary. Maybe the truth about blockchain is that we don’t need a global unified network of clocks, that is fault tolerant against cancerous internals. Maybe the more efficient architecture is to have a trusted entity that we delegate to. In conclusion, who cares
