What is wrong with ego? And you keep going back to what you like, what
you're looking for, etc. - that really doesn't have that much to do with
definition, more to do with your own tastes - even the many-to-many model
you propose is one you want to see, the collapsed production / product you
call utopia, is yours. In some ways, it's oddly reminiscent of the process
art and aesthetics of the 70s - for example Robert Morris' continuous
transformations at Castelli -

The definitions you use are so personalized, they're hard to agree or
disagree with. For me, mez and for that matter myself - we _are_ the
network - it just may not be in you to see it that way -

Alan - thinking also of nn for example, Meskens, solipsis, highland
