The intention is to make editing easy and quick on slow and memory deficient computers. This is how for example editing a pdf with form field values can be so fast. It’s just appending new values for those nodes. If you need to omit edits you’d have to regenerate a fresh pdf from the root.
This reminds me of an old idea I’ve toyed with. In a logic class in university we talked about how some logic is time dependent, like A is true 2 hours after B becomes true. I was inspired to try to think through a language like prolog that could model and solve these relations through time. Didn’t get far with it since it’s a hard problem and I had too many classes that term. I was thinking it would be useful for clockless chips.

whoa, is this the origin of the word "hacking" in the "throw something into the wheels to make it work" sense? very interesting.
Are you suggesting there is no room for quantum effects in the brain? Honest question because I thought determinism is out of fashion now-a-days for that reason.
