-## 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 Kademlia distributed hash
-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.
-
-So the hashes of identities are tracked by the distributed hash table, but the
-hashes of posts are not, because that would result in excessive numbers of
-lookups in a table that would very quickly hit its scaling limits. The hashes
-of posts are tracked by the repository of the feed that you are looking at, so
-require only local lookup, which is faster and less costly than a distributed
-lookup. This is equivalent to a fully distributed hash table where the key is
-not hash of post, but global name of area of interest, zooko nickname,
-zooko public key followed by his human readable thread name (branch
-name or tag name in git terminology) followed by hash of post, so that
-items that are likely to be looked up together are likely to be located
-physically close together on the same disk and will be sent along the same
-network connection.
-
-The messages of the people you are following are likely to be in a
-relatively small number of repositories, even if the total number of
-repositories out there is enormous and the number of hashes in each
-repository is enormous, so this algorithm and data structure will scale, and
-the responses to that thread that they have approved, by people you are not
-following, will be commits in that repository, that, by pushing their latest
-response to that thread to a public repository, they did the equivalent of a
-git commit and push to that repository.
-
-Each repository contains all the material the poster has approved, resulting
-in considerable duplication, but not enormous duplication.
