Distributed State Machine

A Distributed State Machine is a system where multiple computers (or nodes) work together to process and manage data consistently, ensuring they all stay synchronized. Each node maintains a copy of the system's current state and communicates with others to update and agree on changes. This coordination allows the system to handle tasks reliably, even if some nodes fail. It's like a team of people keeping shared notebooks updated so everyone has the same information, enabling scalable and fault-tolerant operations across a distributed network.
