That's a really important perspective. Even in the real world,
semantics are fuzzy, and there are people who make a living
off of discovering opportunities for arbitrage. When two lawyers
battle it out, it's often a question of who can hack the semantics
most effectively. When there is money involved in machine-machine
communications, there will be financial incentive to discover arbitrage,
and the more complex and autonomous the semantic networks, the
more opportunity for arbitrage without serious consequences.
As it is today, B2B works because *people* agree on the semantics
on a case-by-case basis. Really important interactions are fiercely
negotiated to eliminate all possible avenues of later semantic hacking.
Would I bet my system against a greedy semantic hacker? We
can't even design a legal system that is detrministic and immune
to semantic arbitrage, and the best we can do is a very human-intensive
process.
