and they announced also that they will react in near real time.
and that means that your page can be number 1 in the morning and a few hours later you will not find it anymore.
I am wondering why everybody is so surprised about what happens - google told us LONG BEFORE what they are planing to do.

I don't know if they are planning to do that (single page index etc), but THIS update is NOT IT
they are still lightyears away from that on all aspects, IF it is even possible, considering google has huge issues with differentiating original content vs copied and usually disregards the originality in favor of site power (backlinks and infamous "trust" score)
in layman's terms.. you can write a super original mega article but if New York post or such republishes it AS IS a month after you, they'll rank above you for your article title and such

I've seen that document too and it isn't all that problematic really
but regardless, algorithm and manual, they are doing a bad job in purging bad porn sites from top of serps
When their algorithm manages to penalize:
- insane amounts of ads
- traffic trading
- content scraping
- cloaking from googlebot
And when it actually starts to reward original content (first instance of it in index), then we will all have nice websites in mainstream and porn, with nice high quality stuff on them.
Until then...... we can only play a guessing game on wtf is their "core update" targeting.
