On the path to building a community of programs

The grid project is the next step on the path to the creation of a worldwide artificial mind. For example, the Internet made it possible for people not to care about the place where the information is stored and how it is delivered. The grid allows people not to care about where and which resources are used to execute their programs. The next step will make it possible not to care about what programs are used to perform the desired tasks. It will be sufficient to set a task and programs will find and organize themselves so as to perform it. Even this step will not be the last one. All these features define the process of creating the universal mind from outside, that is, from the viewpoint of users. It is also important to see the internal substance of this process. From the inside, this is the process of creating a global community of programs.
