Scaling the root of the DNS
(WorldNews Environment)

The DNS is a remarkably simple system: You send it queries and you get back answers. Within the system you see exactly the same simplicity: the DNS resolver that receives your query may not know the answer, so it, in turn, will send queries deeper into the system and collects the answers. The query and response process is the same, applied recursively. Simple. However, the DNS is simple in the same way that Chess or Go are simple. They have all constrained environments governed by a small set of rigid rules, but they all possess astonishing complexity. Simple systems can have very deep complexity. This is a major theme in the study of Formal Systems. The study of mathematics in the 19th...
