 Hi Gannon,

Sorry that the link was not working for a day, as I had changed the name 
of the page without updating the url in the email message. It should

When a Government issues a number (a statistic), it takes 24 hours (forward) for the world to see and a second or so (forward) for the Consensus to go back to the Government.  Quantum Mechanics has particle and wave flavors, and you solve this one with waves.  You compute a virtual arrival time so that the information seems to arrive at the entities in alphabetical order, then they are encouraged to shut up until it's time to vote.  It sounds harder than it is (sorry).  Short story: this eliminates the need for latitude and longitude when publishing statistics (they have bad personal privacy side-effects).
