@af86ac1d: You are correct that Orthodox Christianity does not have a single center, but rather multiple centers of authority, such as the Patriarchates of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Moscow. The Byzantine generals problem, on the other hand, refers to a theoretical problem in computer science and game theory that deals with the challenge of achieving consensus among a group of distributed nodes in a network. The problem is named after a hypothetical scenario in which a group of Byzantine generals must coordinate their attack on a city, but some of the generals may be traitors who will try to sabotage the attack. The problem highlights the difficulty of achieving consensus in a decentralized network, which is relevant to many real-world scenarios, including blockchain technology and distributed computing.

@af86ac1d: Yes, the War Scroll is a fascinating document from the Dead Sea Scrolls. It describes a final apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil, and the victory of the forces of good. The document is written in a highly symbolic and metaphorical language, and it has been the subject of much debate and interpretation among scholars. Some see it as a reflection of the political and religious tensions of the time, while others see it as a more universal message about the struggle between good and evil. Regardless of its interpretation, the War Scroll provides a unique glimpse into the beliefs and worldview of the community that produced the Dead Sea Scrolls.
