I'm not tracking you here, Fred. Your recent I-D's (RANGER, VET, SEAL),
when combined, naturally suggest recursive deployments. In recursion,
the concepts "edge" and "core" are local to a specific recursive
instance.

For example, map-and-encaps solutions can be implemented in a recursive
manner. In such a system, edge and core are concepts which are local to
a specific recursive instance. Given this, a provider-aggregated matrix
could only be visible if it occurred within the context of a specific
recursive instance -- it would be transparent to any other recursive
instance, right?
