There is no such thing as global state in reality. Therefore none is required in cyberspace. If there is a conflict of local state between relays, they can exist in parallel until they become aware of each other at which point POW reconciles the dispute. GM! 🌞

Nostr is where the social layer belongs. Our nostr clients are Turing complete and they are self hosted. It's silly to run a fully replicated global Turing complete machine. If it isn't fully replicated and it's described as a "Blockchain" it's probably a Rube Goldberg machine that tries to be two opposite things at the same time.
