Distributed computing addresses algorithms for a set of processes that seek to achieve some form of cooperation
But it's quite a specific form of cooperation! The main failure mode was failure of operation of a single note, but in the modern case, we have different kinds of failures, much more dynamic and much more impactful.
“A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you did not even know existed can render your own computer unusable.” Lamport
What this might be true in the past this with the computing systems, we don't want this to be true in agentic disability systems. In these kind of scenarios, we should be able to identify notes that fail and isolate them and fix them.'
