One of the best intros to CRDTs and distributed editing by Jonathan Martin at NDC Oslo 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMMDVphop40

At one point I was strugging with the basics of CRDTs. Someone linked me to this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMMDVphop40

It made a lot of stuff click for me. HTH someone!

This is one of the best videos I've seen on CRDTs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMMDVphop40

CRDTs are just a way to send to send data between parties so that all parties end up with the same thing after receiving all messages, even if they receive them out of order. The way the messages are encoded is the math part, ensuring that you can keep applying these functions to your existing state to always get to the final state. That's where the associative/commutative requirements come from.

Note that there are operation-based (sending how something should be updated) and stated-based (sending what it should be updated to) CRDTs and they have different semantics and use-cases.

One of the best overviews covering CRDTs and OTs, especially in the context of collaborative editing.
