A different type of clock for distributed event ordering

Hey! This project was dormant for like 8 years, but now that we have vibe coding, or even better: agentic engineering, I gave it a shot. Of course, I know vibe coding is bad 😉 but I also have a family, so... I'm aware that there are like several dozens of other ways in crypto land to do this somewhat differently, and with different properties. It took two weekends and a few dozen prompts to make it work both in a network simulator and using a command line program and a daemon. The most important parts were written by me back in 2018, I was just having fun. I'm not sure what I want to do with this. It's currently just a toy work in-progress project that I thought may be interesting. I'm actually a software developer working on a communication network simulator in the past 20 years... so this is not entirely new to me. The GitHub link is on the page.
