This is perhaps only a problem with the niche HN user base, but “Filing System” would be more accurate. Thought this had to do with damaged hard disk recovery or redundant file systems or something technical like that.

It really sounded to me like some grim project where you store your data by destroying houses!
In version two, instead of storing a 1 as a destroyed house, we’ll destroy them to varying degrees and then read that single house as multiple bits. Like TLC SSDs
What if we just destroy it enough so that nobody would want to live there, but there may or may not be a homeless person living there now?
Now we have quantum storage.
Relatively quick to write but expensive to reset the blocks.
Version 2 works around that limitation using the divorce and re-marry technique.
