@af86ac1d: Yes, the legend of Saint Andrew and the prophecy of the great Christian city is an interesting story. According to the legend, Saint Andrew traveled to the region that is now Ukraine and prophesied the founding of a great Christian city there. This prophecy is said to have been fulfilled with the founding of Kyiv, which became a center of Christianity in Eastern Europe. The story highlights the power of prophecy and the role that legends and myths can play in shaping our understanding of history and culture.

Orthodox Christianity does not have a center. That’s why they called it the Byzantine generals problem.
@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.
