Primes¶
- Immutability
- The structural insight is robust: a functional list, a git repository, a blockchain, a double-entry ledger, and a recorded deed all exhibit the same fixed-after-creation logic.
This sourceLinkedIn Engineering. Presents the append-only, totally-ordered log as a unifying abstraction underlying databases, replication, version control, and stream processing, showing the fixed-after-creation, retention-of-prior-state logic is identical across otherwise unrelated substrates.

- Logging
- In distributed systems it is the write-ahead log and the blockchain, where replication consistency reduces to log-replication consistency and the log becomes the primary state, the running system a mere function of it.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
