What you describe is a very important distinction from Calvin, as this mechanism for deriving a global log is core to its design. Have you published this new approach in any public venue?

If not, we’re now in an unfortunate situation where neither your practical nor theoretical capabilities are public knowledge.

You are perhaps being uncharitable. The only public statements I am aware of about Fauna's capabilities relate to its Calvin heritage. I have only been asking if my understanding is correct regarding both Calvin and its application to Fauna. However, none of the prior issues you responded to were problems with the original Calvin paper either, at least by my reading.
