What was the client's problem again?

Ok, so now that we have our trip down OOP Memory Land out of the way,
a few questions:
1) What are the agents in this > 1.0E^6 agent simulation?
2) What are the rules that define how they interact?
3) What are the communications requirements between agents?
4) What is the compute infrastructure?
5) What are the desired results from running the ABM?

So a few of us are exploring new ways of constructing scalable
distributed agent systems and are playing around with architecting
a first instantiation in either Javascript or in Smalltalk. We are
interested in architecting a system that grow and evolve without
collapsing on the weight of itself, much in the same way the
Internet has been able to grow over the last 40 years without a
reboot.
Relatedly, I was watching Alan Kay's'97 OOPSLA address
<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2950949730059754521>,
and his call for a Universal Interface Language popped out at me
and I looked around for potential implementations since then.
Wikipedia claims there hasn't been one yet:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Interface_Language>
I was wondering if folks know of any candidates for a Universal
Interface Language that wikipedia authors may have missed.
And, if we were to make our own, should we start with a REST-like
protocol
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer>
supplemented by server-side javascript or other such animal?
