CRDT State

Status: Prototype (TRL-3)

Conflict‑free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) enable the swarm to share state without a central coordinator. The current implementation uses a Last‑Writer‑Wins (LWW) register for each key.

Implementation

• src/core/crdt_state.py – LWW‑Register CRDT.
• Merge operation: when two nodes exchange state, the entry with the higher timestamp wins.

Future work

• Gossip‑based synchronisation (periodic exchange with random peers).
• Integration into the Docker swarm, replacing Redis for state sync.
