3. The Synchronization Lifecycle (Chicken & Egg)
To solve the initialization problem when Node B and Node C boot up:
The Subscribe EFUN: mesh_receive_distributed_objects(topic) registers the host
to listen for that topic.
The Intent Broadcast: The host broadcasts a { type: "mesh_join", topic:
"game_scores" } to the mesh.
The State Dump: Any node currently hosting the "master" record for that topic
replies with a { type: "mesh_state", data: {...} } payload.
The VM Ingestion: The transport layer routes this payload into rt.__INBOX.
During the VM's heart_beat, it unpacks the state and maps it directly onto the
local _this object, bypassing the Proxy's setter to prevent an infinite echo
loop.
By passing the regex dynamically, you could even write a network_manager.c
daemon that dynamically re-routes which variables sync based on the current
load!
How would you like to structure the actual transport layer for this? Are we
looking at a local Redis pub/sub queue, MQTT, or a direct peer-to-peer
WebSocket mesh between the Node.js instances?"
