   "The MACID monad lets you update your state and *schedule*
    side-effects.  To be clear, MACID is not in the IO monad
    so you cannot execute side effects, you can only schedule
    them. The framework takes care of making sure they are
    executed at-least-once (if they can be completed by a
    deadline you specify)."

I don't know the specifics.
