@reiver@mastodon.social There's a rough analogy to event sourcing, with several significant differences. Inboxes and outboxes are prepend-only. In a sense, they are a projection of the logical time-ordered event sequence (activity stream). The boxes may not contain all events (see spec wrt outbox), so accurate projections may not be possible. I agree that it's not necessary to read the whole box to get the current state of an object. However, note that transient objects are not required to have IDs.
