I think this is actually a pretty good model. I still dream of that perfect federated network that allows as complete autonomy as possible and finally kills both email and facebook messenger, but until then at least some people can have some joy in life.

Step 1: define "complete autonomy"

Step 2: create tools to enable user control and configuration

Step 3: update your will to require that this work-in-progress be left to someone who will continue your attempt after you die.

I used "complete autonomy" half-facetiously. Actually, I said "as complete autonomy as possible," implying, as complete as possible given other, say, existential or intersubjective constraints.

Step 3 is an interesting thought experiment for sure though. Can't say I've thought too much about data structures and algorithsm that might survive me.
