WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING THE TAPE TREE STRUCTURE?
The seed is responsible for determining the structure of the tape tree after the call for leaves is closed. Typical considerations when developing the tree structure are; – making sure people in the same country are on the same branch. – making sure blank traders are equally distributed among the branches (Since branches typically want other performances in trade, blank traders should be evenly distributed). – assigning DAT leaves with DAT branches, and analog with analog. – determining the appropriate number of branches to ensure that branches don’t need to make too many copies. Five or six leaves per branch is a good goal. – ensuring that the minimum number of tape generations occur from seed to leaf (making sure all leaves have the minimum possible gens).
