And the moment you need to merge, unrepresentable states become possible.

There are techniques to make it less painful, but it will still be possible.

You mean, like attempting to merge contradictory states? You will need some resolution stategy then, but in general that would be application-specific, and sometimes it may not exist.

Okay... But we're now back to invalid states being possible. Tagging with time isn't enough.
