+D1 --> MT1

+
+MT1 --> M1
+MT2 --> M2
+MT3 --> M3
+
+MT1 <--> HC: compare hashes
+MT2 <--> HC
+MT3 <--> HC
+
+HC --> DT: if different
+DT --> CR: if conflict
+CR --> M1: apply changes
+CR --> M2
+CR --> M3
+
+note right of HC
+  Merkle tree enables efficient sync:
+  1. Compare root hashes
+  2. If different, compare subtrees
+  3. Transfer only changed branches
+  4. O(log n) comparison complexity
+end note
+
+note bottom of CR
+  Conflict Resolution Strategies:
+  - Last-write-wins (timestamp)
+  - CRDTs (commutative operations)
+  - Consensus (Raft/Paxos)
+  - Application-defined merge
+end note
