This might be a stupid question, but by "content-addressable" do you mean that namespaces are eliminated? This thing where you store each individual version of a function indexed by hash, that's content addressability?



Because when I think of content-addressability, I mean you can find things intensionally and not just extensionally, that is, you can know the shape of what you're after and find something that matches that shape. More or less what vector databases are doing these days. But in this context, it seems to mean that all the transactions (? maybe?) are stored and indexed by a unique key - but that still means I need that key to get something, right?
