REX: Recursive, Delta-Based Data-Centric Computation

Summary: Proposes REX, a delta-driven recursive data-centric model that propagates only iteration deltas to update state efficiently. Shows a programmable runtime that unifies DBMS-style recursion with cloud-scale fault tolerance, delivering 2.5–100x speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
