I'd like to learn more about that.  Can someone point me to
either more documentation on it?  In the absence of that,
perhaps a pointer to the source code that implements it?

I guess one question I posit is, would it be more accurate
to think of this as a "delta net" in a weighted graph rather
than a "delta chain"?

Thanks,
