Did you perhaps mean to write, “though not a fully general one”?


A decentralized, eventually consistent total order on operations is a fully general CRDT, in the sense that you can put whatever (deterministic) operations you want in the total order and clients will end up in eventually consistent states.

Whether the converged result is at all reasonable is a different question.


Ok, now I understand your reply. In retrospect, you were being perfectly clear all along and my confusion was due to me not appreciating the precise definition of a CRDT. Thanks!
