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. :SCM :acronymOf "Sticky Cyber Molecules"; seeUrl <http://robustai.net/MyNetwork/StickeyCyberMolecules.html>.
