Formulated with Jeremy this afternoon, posting for reference. An enveloping box is a larger objective that depends on everything inside it, otherwise A → B means B depends on A. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/anoma1/original/2X/b/bd4eabc28fb0b5e59d065fd700769bc8dd8cce84.png) Archive link: > **[Excalidraw — Collaborative whiteboarding made easy](https://excalidraw.com/#json=XR6_ABlL5CUgvfiDrFDf4,MLo_iKTxNXCW2KxWJ6C2vw)** > > Excalidraw is a virtual collaborative whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them. ---

This diagram doesn’t include a lot of cryptography team research. For example, I believe resource plasma depends on proof aggregation mechanism, which is one of the near-term research directions. What shielded solving is in the near-term research is also unclear. You can see the cryptography team projects planned for Q3 [here](https://forum.anoma.net/t/cryptography-team-priorities-q3/1625). ---

> [@ray](#): > > posting for reference Thank you very much! Leaving the object model discussions aside here, do you have references for the “Urbit Arrow”? Do we have a write up? In particular I am curious about typed controller communications. ---

We should include proof aggregation in the diagram, what other cryptography research would you view as missing here? It would be good to include it ---

Here’s some updates. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/anoma1/original/2X/9/98b08b4f91d9e4f9270d0868ef7cd0dc556ee13a.png) @vveiln I don’t know enough about what the cryptography projects mean yet to have enough detail; “shielded solving” is pretty vague. I’d like to improve this part. @graphomath I’ve included some object system nodes, but only concrete ones (I understand what “remote objects” means, for example). ---

> [@ray](#): > > “remote objects” For the record, Chris was speaking of _[virtual objects](https://forum.anoma.net/t/object-systems-for-applications-step-by-step/1475/20)_ and the closest in the literature that I am aware of is [live distributed objects](https://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~dolev/pubs/04376231.pdf); additional resources of interest are this [thesis](https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/16279), titled _Naming and synchronization in a decentralized computer system_ and [Croquet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet_Project). Do you have a reference for “remote object” @ray ? ---

Proof aggregation is still not there. Aggregated proofs are expected to be verified on Ethereum, so resource plasma must depend on them
