Sky cool, I'm thinking of the same except I'm far dumber. I'm also thinking of something which can't be a drop-in replacement, because in my ideology having an address and a session between these addresses is wrong by itself - the base data entity for the network should be a message retranslated wherever and however, perhaps in places subscribed to its partition (that being some kind of number\token\topic\hellknowswhat), while everything involving transient things like sessions and packets should be a layer down and interchangeable, the common layer of the world network should be a bit like Usenet. The whole idea of connecting to a machine over the network seems for me disadvantageous for the best kinds of use - publishing of texts and files, and communication in general, and also advantageous for silos. That imagined good common layer can work over the Internet among other things, but it can be easily adoptable for carrying archives on USB sticks, or exchanging data some other way, where the message travels over these just as well as over the Internet-connected parts. A bit like Briar, except Briar solves real tasks and I'm having a BAD psychosis.
