+# Redux on Multi-threaded Platforms
+
+Redux in multi-threaded environments brings additional concerns that are not present in redux
+for Javascript.  Javascript is single threaded, so Redux.js did not have to address the issue.
+Android, iOS, and native do have threading, and as such attention must be paid to which threads interact with the store.
+
+As of ReduxKotlin 0.3.0 there is `same thread enforcement` for the [getState](../api/store#getstate-_or_-state-property), [dispatch](../api/store#dispatchaction-any-any), [replaceReducer](../api/store#replacereducernextreducer-reducer-state-unit),
+and [subscribe](../api/store#subscribelistener-storesubscriber) functions on the store.  This means these methods must be called from the same thread where
+the store was created.  An `IllegalStateException` will be thrown if one of these are called from a 
+different thread.
+
+If this `same thread enforcement` was not in place invalid states and race conditions could happen.  
+For example if `getState` was called at the same time as a dispatch, the state would represent a past
+state.  Or 2 actions dispatched concurrently could cause an invalid state.
+
+Note that this is __SAME__ thread enforcement - not __MAIN__ thread enforcement.  ReduxKotlin does not
+force you to use the main thread, although you can if you'd like.  Most mobile applications do redux on the main
+thread, however it could be moved to a background thread.  Using a background thread could be desirable 
+if the reducers & middleware processing produce UI effects such as dropped frames.
+
+
+Currently `same thread enforcement` is implemented for JVM, iOS, & macOS.  The other platforms
+have do not have the enforcement in place yet.
