This idea is based on Secondlife. But I think a reliable grid could be used for more than massive multi player games. Several terms come from Secondlife, but there are some differences in my concept, when it comes to region, yield and commit.

You should check out Lamport's Paxos and logical clock/timestamps for background. Maybe Google's chubby paper and the Apache Zookeeper stuff as well.

All seminal works in distributed systems, but as far as I can tell, there's little overlap with what OP is proposing.

It's a pretty cool architecture, but the major drawback is that you're making events quite expensive with ACID guarantees.

The more expensive events are, the less you can rely on them as a communication primitive. What if I want to submit a logging or tracing event? I don't really need ACID guarantees in that context, and it's a heavy burden on the system.

It might be nice if events had optional tags that defined what sort of policies to enact on them. One could say, "I don't need ACID guarantees on me."
