This article would be really interesting with more context and explanation, but I find a bit unreadable in its current state.

That being said, I enjoyed the algorithm for generating the next Paxos algorithm. That's fun, but I'm still not sure that I really understood what the author was saying.

Thank you for response, maybe I'll return and update it someday.

Yet the idea is very simple. Instead of putting say dictionary behind Paxos/Raft and coordinate update to this state, it makes sense to have dictionary of different Paxos/Raft instances and to use transaction to coordinate multi-updates.
