Now imagine such an interference pattern being spread around the internet to produce or store a vast quantitiy of information. With a system that swarming could be the pre-pre-precursor to, a little piece of that massive amount of information is stored on each host. Swarming however is talking about having say bytes 1000-3000 on a host and 2750-5000 on another host. Holographic storage would be a merging of digital and analog storage, the idea of a file stream becomes less important replaced by the raw concept of "information".
how would error-correction work in this scheme?
as for the analog/digital bit; you should know better
information can be represented in either a discreet or continuous form
you can differentiate a continuous representation into a discreet one, and
you can approximate a continuous representation in a discreet format.
But to speak of a given representation as being both is a contradiction.
hmm, maybe you were just being silly...?
