"Its kind of like about time". That is the point. This is just concurrency control, and looking at as time is just a different perspective. (Actually, it is more than concurrency control, since he also talks about aliasing, but anyway..)I find that perspective intriguing.

I am not worried that it will confuse people. Ideas and perspectives that don't have merit will lose out to more powerful and clearer ideas over time. Also, I have always had more clarity only after passing through a state of confusion.
