My vision is to create a system for distributing file data that uses market forces to create competition between, and evolution of, many small agents that perform the functions needed to get the data from where it is created to were it is needed. The first step is creation of a suitably modular, decentralized and distributed file system architecture, with components which are sufficiently autonomous to allow their independent development, optimization and eventually evolution. Besides providing increased performance and efficiency such a system can greatly enhance the data security available to users.
