It would be moderately nontrivial, but attainable, to demonstrate a credible bridge between "consensus number" (pre-emptive multitasking) and CAP theorem; which in the real world often plays out in the classic tension between (availability, asynchronicity (eventual consistency), risk and performance) versus (consistency, synchronicity (blocking until consistency verified), safety and certainty). Also, Paxos is worth evaluation a mention as a potential core algorithm. AnonymousRageQuit (User talk:AnonymousRageQuit) 16:26, 29 February (UTC)
