    adlai: asciilifeform: have patience for another long metaphor about living systems in the context of trb?
    
    adlai: the oneline summary, in the ACHTUNG GEDENKNER sign, is that the static components of a living system can have a well-defined space of liquishit which they do tolerate; and ...
    
    adlai: ... the minimal "do not confuse this map for the metaphor's actual territory", is a tandem setup with a cloud of pseudonodes that do almost no verification beyond essentials of parsing protocol frames, orbiting around the trb endothelium
    
    adlai chose 'endothelium' instead of 'endoskeleton', to express the fact that the critical part of the thing in question is not only the extruded blockchain, but also the glands that shape and process it -- trb, wallet programs, possibly even explorers
    
    adlai: meanwhile, my linux quest has reasonably congealed; I have a bootable system, and even learned a bit about the various storage buzzwords (lvm, raid, tradeoffs of SSD instead of HDD)
