This looks really weird to me. I very much doubt this can be made into something practically useful.

Have you seen Unison[1]?

Unison seems like a much more interesting approach to making functions "serializable" and functional programming acquiring distributed capabilities almost transparently.

Hashed computations including functions distributed over something like DHT is a great concept with a lot of potential for a new form of computation.
