Well you've certainly said a mouthful here and unfortunately i only understood about
5% of it.  But let me ask about your basic assumptions:  Do you assume that you will
be able to query the entire semantic cloud and ever get a relevant answer back?
Because if that is your assumption, and if you use the apparently traditional data
processing approach you have scoped, may I extend my sympathies to your programmers
in advance.   In my opinion, if that is our objective, we will need an almost
biological approach ... perhaps like the one I have scoped with SCM.
