## Why the name?

The origin of the word "mutate" is the latin word '-ate':  
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mutate

## Summary

ATE is a distributed immutable data store and built in memory based materialized
view with strong encryption and authentication.

What does that mean?

This library is a way of working with data in modern distributed computing.
* ...data is persisted to a distributed commit log.
* ...partitions are divided into chains that shard data into physical domains.
* ...streaming of data to the application occurs on demand during method invocation.
* ...each chain is a crypto-graph with unique asymmetric keys at differentiating nodes.
* ...the root of the chain-of-trust that validates the crypto-graph through various plugins.
* ...strong authentication and authorized is by design built into the data model.
* ...encryption is highly resistant to quantum attacks and uses fine-grained tenant keys.
* ...all this is integrated into a shared-nothing highly portable executable.
