The architecture follows a single scaling pattern as distribution complexity increases: add logical indirection that decouples semantics from physical state — consistency strategies add semantic layers (tombstones, vector clocks) while topology and storage add logical abstractions (stateless rings, logical offsets, metadata-as-deletion) through the same mechanism of inserting a logical interpretation layer between operations and physical state.
Both dimensions use the same scaling primitive (logical indirection), suggesting a single underlying architectural pattern
