## Algorithm and data structure.
For this to work, the underlying structure needs to be something based on
the same principles as Git and git repositories, except that Git relies on
SSL and the Certificate Authority system to locate a repository, which
dangerous centralization would fail under the inevitable attack. It needs to
have instead for its repository name system a Kamelia distributed has
table within which local repositories find the network addresses of remote
repositories on the basis of the public key of a Zooko identity of a person
who pushed a tag or a branch to that repository, a branch being a thread,
and the branch head in this case being the most recent response to a thread
by a person you are following.
have instead for its repository name system a distributed name system, but
a Kamelia distributed hash table will come under hostile attack.
The Distributed hash table key will be:\
<<<<<<< Updated upstream
`human readable area of interest name/#public key of zooko name/
=======
`#public key of zooko name/
>>>>>>> Stashed changes
human readable branch name/#hash of data item`\
so that items that are likely to be looked up together will likely be near
each other on the same physical disk, and transmitted over the same
network connection. When someone approves of a text, then it goes into a
repository he controls or has write access to, and gets a corresponding key
in the distributed hash table.
So rather than a system relying on nearest neighbour by hash distance, nearest neighbour by social distance.
<<<<<<< Updated upstream
=======
Which is not exactly a distributed hash table, for a hash table relies on the uniform distribution of hashes for its efficiency, and, because we want things likely to be looked up together at the same network address on the same physical machine, this is a very non uniform distribution. But it will still be efficient, because by the time you walk the network past the zooko
key, you will seldom have very far to walk. Walk the network to the end of
the zooko key, you are at a machine to which that identity has write
access, and thus, he has the authority and incentive to make things work.
Rather than being a distributed hash table, this is a distributed patricia tree.
But it will work if the person who controls a particular Zooko name
structures the data under his name in accordance with the characteristics of
the lookup process, and if he does not, other people will fail to find the material in his repositories, and that is his problem, which he can fix.

The messages of the people you are following are likely to be in a

repositories out there is enormous and the number of hashes in each
repository is enormous, so this algorithm and data structure will scale, and
