 not centralisation, CONSISTENCY

> In a distributed system, achieving consistency falls upon the consistency model and consistency (enforcing) mechanisms. Consistency models determine which data and operations are visible to a user or process, and which kind of read and write operations are supported on them.

not ZERO CONSISTENCY
