OK so let me figure this out I have some experience with messaging systems. You indicate basic HTTP/HTTPS but there are issues with that basically you need more since unsolicited messages are usually blocked (unless you are a server) there are better protocols for this that your "AGI" could piggy back on. > Being distributed means that individual peer administrators, and not a large > company or government, decide which messages they will host, discard, > distribute, or block. The protocol does not require that you follow or friend > people, but a high quality peer will probably figure out who you know and > whose messages you are interested in receiving based on the messages you > post. > Reading your thesis BTW which is pretty darn advanced for 1987 especially covering distributed P2P systems with the hypercubes and all :) what happens to all the messages that get routed to the "expert" peers? The peers answer them and they get routed back but how does this scale up in intelligence? Is it just that you have all these messages getting routed efficiently to the optimal peers?
