Trying to penetrate some of Hoares thinking I encountered the issues of
communicating nodes that are not connected directly or does not have
immediate access. An example is the case then a consumer communicated
through a number of service providrs to the service provider. In this
case the consumer may not meet directly ie. the putting culminates
before the getting even starts. Anoteh case is the issue of "streaming"
service such as audio.
Could you point me to where such cases are addressed using Hoares thinking?
Sofar I still got the feeling that act leading up to consent are still
important altough final rendezvous is an important event.
