This sounds like (a simpler version of?) Lambda Architecture [1, 2]

To me this sounds a lot like how CRDT works (just simpler and not rigorously proven).

e.g. making deterministic changes to some data before you've heard back from any sort of central single-source-of-truth.

Difference with CRDT is that the goal is to never actually hear back from a central authority and still have consistency between clients.

Maybe this is a sort of hybrid CRDT/OT.

I do not think this has many in common. Lambda is used for stream processing much data. EventReduce is used for optimizing the latency of much (repeating) queries.
