Either way . . . this form of distribution is not noncentralization. 
It's interesting to see the step from centralization to distribution, 
almost as if they are opposites, and practically speaking they may 
be. I look forward to seeing new technologies (or new applications of 
old/existing technology) continue to de-centralize our digital 
identity.

Much of the rest of your post seems to echo what Drummond and I have 
been exchanging in recent E-mails off the list, you might be able to 
build on it quickly if you get in touch with him re: XRI.
