Periodic snapshot size

It trades storage that is linear in entities × periods for O(1) reads.

Trade-off: Precompute vs. compute-on-read

Worked examples, recomputed

Every number the mechanisms quote for this relationship is recomputed from it, so none of them disagrees with it.

Where it appears

Each mechanism states it in its own names. The general symbol each name stands for is shown with it.
