"Soft consensus" is verifiable but there might be better terms for coming to consensus via Steem messaging(custom, custom json, custom binary) and collaborative nodes. Distributed consensus, smarter contracts... Some of the code I have written even allows these nodes to elect themselves as signatories to a multi-signature account giving them all the power and legality of ethereum smart contracts as DAOs.
Anything Ethereum can do we can do "sharded" but marketing has never been my strong suit.
