And above that - suddenly, we're in the application layer. A global namespace of entities is good enough to show to users, with some kind of graphical browser that produces displays from CARBON metadata, which is sufficient to access the information published by entities. Also, the NEON suite of CARBON and MERCURY interfaces allow entities to provide an interactive user interface via an applet that runs on the user's console in a sandbox, accessing the entity via CARBON and MERCURY. IODINE provides a suite of standard interfaces for more abstract communications, such as drag and drop / object sending, usable to implement anything from email to printing (by sending objects to a printer entity), as well as interactive chat for humans. FLUORINE defines gateways that make standard Internet and host-OS services (email, HTTP, filesystems, SQL databases, etc) accessible to ARGON applications by wrapping them in a MERCURY/CARBON interface - and ways for ARGON entities to be nominated by the cluster administrators to provide Internet services such as HTTP for the cluster as a whole, enabling the outside world to access ARGON systems.

So whens the release? 😛 Wouldn't mind testing this thing with a couple of old forth apps I got kicking around on my drive. -Jim
