Whitehead's whole thing is: 'gosh, all of western philosophy acts like Immanence is the only thing that's real, but don't they see that the transcendent view is just as ontologically relevant? Or maybe moreso, even?' @moonandserpent chime in if I'm being reductive!
For the time being, our model of time more closely resembles Hickey's: the operations/transactions of any particular actor are totally ordered. CRDTs ops are partially ordered per application semantics, typically by referring to prior entities. IIUC.

This is definitely a tricky part to get right. I've had some success having deltas totally ordered within a transaction but having transactions themselves partially ordered within the larger distributed universe, yeah.

There's a lot more to be said here, and I'd love more of your input. Are you in NYC?

For now our app is just a chat app so we don't have much need of mutability, so it doesn't really matter. That won't last long.

As long as the mutability is purely a function of time as Hickey outlines I think you're set, lots of flexibility from there. "There is no such thing as a mutable object" is a Big Truth.
