Seconded, I plowed through the “wiki” (not really one) and the code for a bit, but gave up after while.

Doesn't have to be LaTeX for me, as long as it’s a comprehensive documentation.

(When OriFS was introduced here, the papers really helped to grok).

Did you read https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/How-to-Create-GUN ? It is only introductory though. The slides might be helpful.

I've demonstrated GUN before handling conflict resolution across machines with significant drift. I need to get a video of this and more docs out on it.

I did, but as you said by yourself, it's short on info.

The conflict resolution is where the meat is, isn't it? And https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/Conflict-Resolution-with-G... is incredibly hard to read and doesn't really answer questions.

Yes, that is where the meat is.

Do the slides from my tech talk help at all?

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VIOJc0bdzUNs7yXMLKCc...

I'll be working on getting a recording of the tech talk up, more blogs/documentation on the algorithm specifically. And as others have mentioned, some actual academic papers (but that could be a while).

Anything specific I can address?
