Re: [Ideas] Computing collisions

Hello Bob

Thanks for sending this formula.

If we assume that the population is not necessarily a flat space and that
it is in different separate instances, this could help reduce the collision.

Per the ideas problem statement draft, we have discussed about the
different types of devices and whether we could have some policy on what
they can do. Eg. a camera should not be shopping for clothes or access bank
accounts .... wouldn't it make sense to put them in different instances
with different access policies?

What are your thoughts on this?
