As many people know, CAP stands for Consistency, Availability, and Partitioning which applies to distributed systems. You get to pick two. I chose the AP part with eventual consistency. 'Eventual' is the term with variability. Some systems are faster than others in bringing the distributed nodes up-to-date with data changes across the system. I believe I have some algorithms that complement the structure of the data to make the window of inconsistency as small as possible.

The system is also designed for full ACID compliance, but there is still some work to be done in this area.
