RelatedWork
Here I'm going to list off links to work I think is related to the ULS effort. This is more of an external memory for things I've found than a detailed investigation. Some of this will get moved off onto it's own pages as I get time. And of course, if anyone else want to do the clenaup, feel free. Just leave a note and pointer here to where ever you put it.

@ Paper@ - Ronald Coase's work on "The Nature of the Firm" (1937) is a look at why firms exist and why we don't go to the market for everything. This and it intellectual descendants could be used to help us size the computational units that would be deployed in a ULS system using an agoric approach.
