Consenus, replication and consistency are potential solutions and their own problems to another entire set of really hard problems. If you're going to say you solved them you better say how, and most importantly, what tradeoffs you made to do so. |

GUN is a AP system, so you do not get Strong (Global) Consistency, instead it is Eventually Consistent and Highly Available. For more information on this, check out the wiki: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/CAP-Theorem .
Basically you do NOT get linearizability for free, you have to build that ontop where it is baked explicitly into the data, with a CRDT or DAG or something. In the future, there should be extensions for this so you don't have to worry about it.
