The interview with Dr. Stephen Wolfram covers both MOCA consensus algorithm and Chord DHT based routing:

Stephen Wolfram (Creator of NKS) Tries to Understand NKN

[image] Introduction NKN recently announced Stephen Wolfram - founder and CEO of Wolfram Research; author of A New Kind of Science (NKS); creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and the Wolfram Language - joined NKN as an advisor. Given Stephen’s pioneering discoveries using cellular automata , it was a natural fit that he become involved with NKN. We recently met with Stephen to explain exactly how NKN works and what makes it different than other blockchain applications. In this lightly edi…

The technical paper covers the origins of MOCA consensus algorithm:
