I'm curious about the statement:
"For example, more often than not we see blog posts by people claiming to have beaten the CAP Theorem. A mathematical theorem…"
I've never seen any actual mathematical proof of CAP - only a great deal of ( mostly well founded ) engineering conjecture.
Has anyone actually produced any mathematical proof of CAP?
