+AetherMesh v2.0.0 — Reference Implementation

+    Synchronization and State CRDTs for Autonomous Multi-Agent Systems.

+
+The v1.0.0 paper specifies the architecture with proof sketches and
+a simulated evaluation. This package (v2.0.0) provides a reference
+implementation of the three pillars:
+
+    1. CRDTs for Code and Metadata DAGs
+    2. Epidemic Gossip Protocols
+    3. Lightweight Byzantine Fault Tolerance
+
+Status: Reference implementation. Preliminary results. Not a
+production system. Real-world deployment has not been evaluated.
