Thinking more about @Falkvinge recent video.

Asking vs telling.

A KEY distinction in communication.
Smallworlds build through ASKING
connecting links, building strong chains.

The video was very narrow. When catching-up, the miner is asking. When propagating newly received TXs, it is telling. When propagating a block it newly discovered, it is telling.

narrow for you,
an opening for me to start hearing how a small world system works, and I hear it mimic'ing human communication.

show me 'propagating/propagation' mentioned in WP.

think from a communication network and read the WP

"broadcasting"
"timestamped"
"hashing"
"forming a record"
"transfers"
"reinforcing"
"catching up"
"collects"
"finds"
"working"...

"provides"
"distribute"
"generated"
"accepted"
"verification"
"linking"
"waits"
"messages"
"routed"
"delivered"
"vote"
"acceptance"
"rejecting"
"refusing"

a network, communicating.
