 Very similar to a UTXO, it is a 'construct' that doesn't actually exist as a cogent thing - only constructed in everyone's database.  
 A sort of abstract object, that doesn't persist, but only exists for as long as the client uses it. And the data storage doesn't contain that object, it contains the items that the object consists of and the pattern for building such objects. That means you can change out the items, and the next time you build the object, it looks different. 
 Database tables were a tuple abstraction. Now we have a signed event abstraction which we can build higher order constructions that look like database tables.  
 Errrr no, it's just a text string.  It's largely inferior to almost any other data structure that's even been invented, but it just about works.   
 It doesn’t have to replace databases writ large. Just the private sensitive stuff. I have already implemented a mini-database system for my wallet component and it works just fine. 
 It works quite well, actually.
Strings are an underrated data type. 
 Stringified JSON data for the win! 
 doesnt scale 
 Everything scales.
