Space-time and causality has a *very* important meaning. If don't use this information (directly or indirectly) in your data modell or history graph you do something very stupid. You simply won't optimize for the common case because you won't scale with the fundamental physical laws of information exchange and syncronisation, you just kind of break space-time-symmetrie. Ever compared feynman diagrams to merge diagrams? > it's perfectly normal for clocks to be out of sync. Yes even special relativity just boils down to "there is no absolut simultaneity". So what? I'll predict if you break causality your kernel will suddenly destabilize and explode like a nuclear bomb ;-) Gerhard
