-# Distributed Data Synchronization
+# Distributed Data Sync
 
 Synchronizing data between clients in a Spacedrive network is acomplished using various forms of [CRDTs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type) combined with a hybrid logical clock, ensuring eventual constancy.
 
-Designed to support synchronizing data in realtime between a [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/) databases potentially in the gigabytes.

 - **Operational Transform** - Update Shared resources at a property level. Operations stored in `pending_operations` table. 
-- **Last Write Win** - The most recent event will always be applied, used for Relational data.
+- **Operational Merge** - The newer resource is merged with an older resource at a property level, where oldest takes priority. Used specifically for the `files` resource, which is Shared data but is sometimes synced in bulk.
+- **Last Write Win** - The most recent event will always be applied, used for many-to-many datasets.
 - **Replicate** - Used exclusively for Owned data, clients will replicate with no questions asked.
-- **Merge** - The newer resource is merged with an older resource at a property level, where oldest takes priority. Used specifically for the `files` resource, which is Shared data but is sometimes synced in bulk.

-<!--We can define an `OperationLevel` to treat the incoming data as an entire resource, or an update to a given property of a resource. The `ClientPool` itself uses `OperationLevel::Resource` and `OnConflict::Overwrite` by default to synchronize clients.-->
