Also, that term 'everyone' is worth studying.  The fact of 
homophily means that communication which is effective tends 
toward locality (all politics are local).   In an ecology 
of games, one studies memberships in multiple communities 
of discourse.   This intersection of actors/games/subissues 
will determine the order of events in time to resolve an 
issue.

In other words, not everyone, but some n of some where 
the value of n is dynamic over time.   What you are 
tending toward in this topic are the rules of dynamic 
networks.

Network Approach'.

>I assume that this question has as its impetus ...

Here's my motivation for the question: in a large, complex Enterprise you
may know the kinds of "things" that need to be moved around (e.g., Book,
BookCover, etc) but you don't have a-priori knowledge of the specific
transactions that will be needed.  

So, is it feasible to simply declare a bunch of components (that everyone
understands), which may be dynamically assembled by one system and shipped
to another system where the assembly is dynamically understood.
