01 — Local truth
Strand
A signed, append-only log per writer. Every event is hashed into a Merkle history that any peer can verify offline. No global consensus. No fork resolution. The participant's log is their truth, and replicas converge by replaying.
A closer lookA history that keeps its author.
Append a signed record. The earlier records remain, and the next contribution extends the thread.

01 — Concepts
01
Single-writer log per participant. No global ordering.
02
Each event is hashed and signed; verifiable offline.
03
Merkle history + bitfield replication — sparse, resumable.
04
Storage backends are pluggable (in-memory, RocksDB, custom).
02 — Code
A handful of lines.
