Communication Pattern:

Response → P2P direct (1-to-1)
Both push-only (no blocking)
Result:
Complete distributed platform

Zero blocking anywhere
Pure reactive streams
# Traditional (blocking):
for i in range(1000):
chunk = node.request(f'chunk_{i}') # BLOCKS
process(chunk)
# Time: 1000 * latency = SLOW
# Pure flux (non-blocking):
for i in range(1000):
node.push_want_chunk(f'chunk_{i}') # Immediate
# All requests "in flight" simultaneously
# Process as data flows in
while True:
state = node.derive_state()
for chunk_id, data in state['chunks'].items():
process(data)
time.sleep(0.01)
# Time: ~latency (parallel) = FAST
Benefits:
# Start node with pure flux foundation
python3 ir3.py \
--node-id my_node \
--dht-port 7001 \
--bt-port 6001 \

# Enable applications
python3 ir3.py \

Use from Python:
import ir3
# Connect to node
node = ir3.connect('localhost:7001')
# Use money app (pure flux)
node.money.mint('USD', 1000, recipient) # Returns immediately
# Use reputation app

# Derive state anytime

Pure flux underneath
| Aspect | Ethereum | Solana | iR³ Alpha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blocking | Yes (waits) | Yes (waits) | No (pure flux) |
| Communication | Request-response | Request-response | Push + P2P |
| Parallelism | Limited | Limited | Massive |
| Foundation | 10M lines | 2M lines | 1700 lines |
| Applications | Smart contracts | Programs | Native apps |
| Metamask | Yes | No | Yes (via app) |
| Native Apps | No | No | Yes |
| Complexity | Very high | High | Minimal |
iR³ advantages:
Foundation:
1. iR³Series (~200 lines)
Append-only event log
2. iR³DHT (~500 lines)
Intent broadcast (push-only)
P2P response routing
3. iR³BitTorrent (~1000 lines)
Distributed chunk storage
Autonomous rate limiting
Communication:
Intent → DHT → Broadcast (1-to-many)
Response → P2P → Direct (1-to-1)
Both push-only (no blocking)
Applications:
Money, Reputation, Territory, Lending
EVM (Metamask compatible)
All ~100-500 lines each
All use same pure flux paradigm
