<p>Well... the idea was that each node would have knowledge of events in the past and adjust itself accordingly. If something fails in another end of a system the node would not have to be contacted to change it's behavior. In case a node crash there could
be a verified consensus if it should be restarted. The system could perhaps have other priorities.</p>

<p>This was just some thoughts from me.</p>

I'm not quite sure what you refer to when you say 'blockchain method of <br>
keeping track of every node'. Normally a blockchain (as in Bitcoin's <br>
architecture) is a Merkle hash tree where the data of a node is hashed <br>
together with the hashes of its children asf. until eventually the root <br>
of the hash tree is reached. This enables cryptographically secure <br>
verification of content and ordering of the data. I do not see how <br>
supervision trees would benefit from such a data structure. However, I <br>
may misunderstand what your idea is about. Please elaborate further!<br>
<br>
Kind Regards!<br>
