Entangled links, transactions and trees for distributed computing systems
An entangled links mechanism to establish and maintain bipartite temporal intimacy between pairs of computers, using an idempotent, reversible token method which presents no observable external “change” until a communication of information needs to occur between the computers, and which maintains the potential for “bounded (or unbounded) reversibility” in case the intended information dispatched by a source computational entity is not captured or properly accepted by a destination computational entity. The mechanism enables distributed computers in a network to remain continuously aware of each other's presence; to communicate on a logically nearest neighbor basis in a secure and reliable manner in which packets passed over these links do not conflict with normal traffic or cause the available resources of the link to be exceeded; and that atomicity, consistency, isolation, and “reversible durability” may be maintained for transactions when perturbations occur.
1. A computer-implemented method for creating an entangled tree, over a clique of cells for building and maintaining an active bipartite relationship between a first computing entity within a data center with a second computing entity within the data center, the method comprising:
identifying a set of cells from the clique of cells, wherein the cells are distinct entities in a distributed system and connected by a chained entanglement, directly connecting the first computing entity from the set of cells within the database with the second computing entity from the set of cells within the set of cells to form the entangled tree;
identifying a root cell from the set of cells from the clique of cells as information processing entities within the entangled tree;
creating a plurality of entangled links between cells in the set as a deep asynchronous domain that is an independent timing domain shared between a MAC and a PHY layer of the set of cells from the clique of cells;
associating the plurality of entangled links to create an entangled state in which entangled transactions can be created between any two or more cells in the set of cells by continually exchanging a token via entangled link connecting the set of cells; and
maintaining a bipartite temporal intimacy between the set of cells, as an independent timing domain, with a transformation matrix that tracks states for exchange of token between the set of cells, wherein the states are complementary between the set of cells as a single symmetrical state machines, without a master and slave relationship.
