@darius @cwebber i think the closest i get to answering your question is this:

> No longer will we have to ham-fist our modes of relation into artifacts like blockchains or instances, gluing brittle access schemes atop them. By virtue of decades of compounded effort and expertise, we will at last able to code decentralized programs with nuanced permissions from the outset.

@darius @cwebber RIGHT? OMG

but it took me a week and a half of study to even reach that level of comprehension, and by then i'd come to understand it's so much more than that too. this is the p2p programming paradigm i have dreamed of for years.

@darius @cwebber AFAICT, yes absolutely.

as an example, i'm writing a system for portable encrypted storage -- one of the major components the Spritely whitepaper outlines but doesn't specify -- as a set of five behaviors, or capabilities. these capabilities can be provides by subroutines on your machine, on other machines, on other planets... but for the sake of my program, i need only prove it in one case (all on my machine) because all the rest are abstractions upon that case.

@darius THIS IS SO COOL, congrats!!

@darius @lilithsaintcrow i literally opened firefox because its mobile app has reader version but thanks to js magic, the article’s page only half-loads, so reader mode renders legible a few scant paragraphs before devolving into trying to parse affiliate spam

@darius the business of management is management, etc

@darius @batterpunts surprise ending: i was the big boobie queer all along
