Mr Lanier doesn't tell us how to do this... hmmm interesting, does his "research" has any results?
Think about it. We can have components that communicate with each other not by explicit interfaces like now, but some fuzzy way. I don't find it a great idea.
Or we can have components which do their work using some more fuzzyness than they use now and keep very strict interfaces. I don't know... It's up to the programmer to use fuzzy logic or AI or whatever.
Also the underlying hardware will remain binary, very fault intolerant, so with Mr Lanier's thinking shouldn't we design "phenotropic" hardware? Meanning everything in It so far was a dead end street? I don't think so.
I think he should ellaborate on his idea otherwise he'll be the only one who understands what he's trying to say - in the best case:)
