Moving Decisions to the Edge: | = | |
A really robust system will be as general as possible. It will make as few architectural decisions as possible; letting users, in all their rippling circles, make their own choices. | = | |
Our thesis is the Prose Object model. If documents are expressed as lists (technically maps) of key | = | values and linked together, in "prototype inheritance", then they become efficient, computable, codifiable, interoperable, malleable, etc. |
This leaves many dimensions of freedom, including interface, database, methods of communication and signature, etc. | = | |
