So ...
It is more of an adaption rather than a fork
A Chain of 1Second Block Time. This will be a massive Chain of Massive proportions with Time. Any ideas on how to mitigate the size of the Chain IF this System grows as you hope it will?

Yeah, a modified version of Ethereum EVM

Any ideas on how to mitigate the size of the Chain IF this System grows as you hope it will?I see your concern, but the block size of an empty block is somewhere between 500 and 750 bytes (only the signature of the previous block) so the block chain won't be as big as you think.
On testnet 1000000 blocks = ~ 1.15 GB
Short term: On a VPS provider we use frequently 100 GB SSD is 4,76 € and you can buy up to 10 TB
Long term: fast forward 10 years, I think 1 TB will be like 1 GB now.
Another approach can be
Easiest to implement: to change block time to 3-5-10 secs.
Very easy too: To prune the chain of empty blocks.
Since only validators needs to run a full node (download and keep the whole chain) if it will catch up, the rewards are pretty solid, so the money spent on space will be only dust.
There are many scenarios with many solutions. Time will tell how things will be and which one will be the best approach.
