Bedrock
The Bedrock network is a Distributed collection of servers that record user actions and Asynchronously publish those actions and the content that results from them. Bedrock servers use the Seismic protocol to communicate changes to and from other Bedrock servers. AboutUs hosts many Bedrock servers and individual users often have their own Bedrock server running as a proxy daemon on their local machine.
The Bedrock network is modeled after biological systems in which isolated failures, race conditions, and conflicting content are the rule.
In addition to communicating with other Bedrock servers using the Seismic protocol, a Bedrock server also acts as an HTTP server that receives and delivers objects in standard web formats (e.g., HTML/JavaScript/CSS ...).
A Bedrock server stores objects using the Regolith data format.
Topsoil is the primary application running on the Bedrock network. Electric Sheep is a spidering and distributed data mining application that also runs on the Bedrock network. A user must specifically enable Electric Sheep after installing their own Bedrock server.
