+ * G-Counter (Grow-only Counter) is a state-based CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)
+ * designed for tracking counts in a distributed and concurrent environment.
+ * Each process maintains its own counter, allowing only increments. The total count
+ * is obtained by summing individual process counts.
+ * This implementation supports incrementing, querying the total count,
+ * comparing with other G-Counters, and merging with another G-Counter
+ * to compute the element-wise maximum.
