By perusing content in the Ansible tutorials, I was exposed to a term called: Entropy Pool. You can think about blockchain being a kind of entropy pool. One can also think of knowledge containers or world lines as entropy pools.
An entropy pool is a network of causations, or an inventory/reserve of resources, encoded/measured in terms of entropy.
Entropy pool is considered to be a place to derive randomness for system security. Therefore, it is a kind of resource, and one may use different tools to get more or less of this resource[1]
A distributed architecture of Entropy Pool
Knowing that causal cone serves as a boundary of event horizon, it is possible to use the distributed physical locations to generate more entropy. It its particularly important to leverage the wide spread geographical locations of Internet participants to generate more reliable entropy pool.
An article called: Understanding and Managing Entropy[2], can be found online.
