I&#x27;m sad to hear I did a poor job explaining the concepts, thank you for this honest review. Next time around, I&#x27;ll see if I can be more clear.<p>One minor detail - while lexical sort is used in the conflict resolution algorithm it is only part of the equation (see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;amark&#x2F;gun&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conflict-Resolution-with-Guns" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;amark&#x2F;gun&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conflict-Resolution-with-G...</a> ). As I mentioned in my talk, lexical ordering is intentionally naive because I rely upon deterministic behavior (<i>not</i> PAXOS, RAFT, consensus, or gossip protocols) which guarantees convergence.
