Describe the Ethereum World State

In my opinion, it is of fundamental importance to describe more accurately the World State and its component. This makes it clear that this system is very difficult to scale and prone to centralization because the world state is a big piece of data.

In my opinion this image is very clear and we could use it in the report:

I agree about deeply describe the World State. I think we can use that image after reading https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/06/26/state-tree-pruning/. Maybe we ca simplify a bit the diagram (e.g. removing the specification of what "Uncles Hash" is).

IMHO, we can consider close this issue?
