spaced repetition prompts - blog section 10 - Nondeterministic Idempotence

How does Nondeterministic Idempotence - NDI differ from Temporal's approach to durable execution? ? Temporal uses deterministic, durable replay. Gas Town achieves durability and guaranteed execution through completely different, nondeterministic machinery.

What does "nondeterministic" mean in Nondeterministic Idempotence - NDI? ? The path taken is fully nondeterministic — agents may take different routes or even make mistakes — but the outcome is the same.

What does "idempotent" mean in Nondeterministic Idempotence - NDI? ? The workflow eventually finishes with the intended outcome, "guaranteed," as long as you keep throwing agents at it.
