There would also need to be a protocol to establish trust based on knowledge right? If I'm a an expert for example in some species of ant (say Cephalotes specularis) there would need to be informational transactions to query and establish knowledge trust to a peer. > > But a machine peer could query Google so essentially a large system like > > this > could effectively take a snapshot of Google's index...

A network of geographically dispersed machines intermittently performing queries across vast spans of domain knowledge. Unless there is a pattern or signifier within the query data how would they know? Unless they begin to force login at some point... Look at in the reverse direction, we, the human system (from Google's perspective) and external machines (Google) are performing intermittent queries on us and taking a snapshot of the human index.
