"[T]he world is not a simple flow, networks are involved, but the flow is an illusion that we desire." #readingToday

It should now be plausible how a network of promises, (not a computer network) can be used to design a collaboration between agents, at multiple scales, which is continuous, self-repairing, and self-informing at the top level. Continuity does not have to be represented by a flow or a chain, though there is something in our human psychology that predisposes us to want to see things in a timeline. Down below, the world is not a simple flow, networks are involved, but the flow is an illusion that we desire.
