//! secure and decentralized computation flexibly and efficiently, marking a shift from a

//! - **Application Space**: for different parachains with their applications.
//! - **Accord Space**: for opt-in treaties across chains. Treaty's members cannot change/undermine
//! the treaty's logic. This allows trustless cross-chain applications.
//! - **Core space-time**: for "consuming" coretime and using Polkadot computation. Collators send
//! blocks through cores to validators for validity and availability checks.
//! - **Coretime**: sold through a broker system parachain.
//! Let's break down the "space" layers from the above diagram:
//! - **Application Space**: This is the space where each parachain's application logic lives as an
//! independent, but interconnected, blockchain.
//! - **Accord Space**: Is the space for opt-in treaties across chains. Treaty's members cannot
//! change/undermine the treaty's logic. This allows trustless cross-chain applications.
//! - **Core Space-time**: This can be seen as the CPU of the Polkadot Ubiquitous Computer, where
//! the processes are queued and executed. In oder words, we can say that the *Core Space-time*
//! "consumes" *Coretime* using Polkadot computation. Here is where collators send blocks through
//! cores to validators for validity and availability checks.
//!
//! Additionally, this introduces the concept of **Coretime**. Coretime is the right to use
//! Polkadot's computing power. Sold through a broker system parachain.
