P2P is really this label for many distributed architectures. I prefer a mix of client server with P2P and then blurring the distinction between client and server but have different types of nodes and supernodes... XMPP is a good system not really listed as P2P but it's servers can be like P2P and XMPP is extensible, well used, and has lots of open source software. > > We don't have distributed search, but now I am not so sure that would work in > an environment where most small peers haven't established trust.

For this "AGI" do we really care who you are, unless trying to validate your credit card for purchases, verses what you know? My name is John but I could also be known as Oiu24n!57n%vqeur#q9-1r!orgp35R6oUA though I suppose having a lower k-complexity name is a form of anonymity... Your system could work like this: Machine peers start out as experts in one area of knowledge and as their knowledge grows they choose to subdivide and offload to other peers and so on so the more peers there are the more specialized they get. An issue is distributing the knowledge redundancy efficiently. But a machine peer could query Google so essentially a large system like this could effectively take a snapshot of Google's index... Google may at some point force people to prove human identity before allowing queries as queries might be as import as their results.
