And, now, please explain to me, what a caching server does, that an aggregating relay doesn't do.

I'll wait.

Users will probably read from a relay that uses negentropy or algorithm DVMs to aggregate events from other relays. Anyone who needs to tag, reply to, or DM that user will write directly to that aggregation relay.

Most apps will probably send writes to app- or community-specific relays. Boosts, negentropy sync, replies, and tags will gradually disseminate events across the network, making Nostr a distributed, eventually-consistent event store.
