I'm sorry dude, but it looks like that is an F in Freenet Theory A1 right there. The idea is if that Inserts and Requests are sorted the same way, it does not actually matter if the closeness actually means anything in the context of the data, it still provides a way to send a Request to a place where: a) The Insert would also have gone b) Other requests would have gone, so the data would be continually updated in the cache there This is the reason why you have to know the exact key. If you don't, then the method is indeed no better then random routing, hence the discussion on searching that you could hardly have missed. This idea _is_ Freenet.
