Actually, I'm past this. I don't need it. My problem is the value of the information within an information mercantile system - which involves policing the polycentric merchant community. Otherwise, such a system would become subject to "information policymaking, information peacekeeping / diplomacy - massive misinformation." Just basic abuse considerations, but with extreme ramifications in the context of the "Intel agora" hypothetical I posed. (I'm just playing around with your concepts.... unless I envision an complex contextual framework, I can't envision the applications and the obstacles.) ~Aimee
