The quote you pulled out mentions "distributed execution" being completely contained in a "single-program system" - isn't a single-program system, by definition, not a distributed system?

With the emphasis on distributed systems, I was waiting to see how the approach would help synchronization, replication, network dependencies, etc. But all the examples show calling other services as functions or spawning new processes. At the end orderd starts listening for requests, but I don't see any example in the article where the example program talks to another computer in the system. Perhaps I am missing something?
