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.
