Interesting to see Ward 'discover' a new wiki variant (listen how often he states that the software he is writing 'wants to be X')
I am not really familiar with it, but I think this could be called 'pragmatic Xanadu' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu). It will be interesting of this will be successful, or whether it will eventually run into the deep problems that project Xanadu thought it had to solve to be successful.
It seems that Ward is looking for a pattern in the code and context of the web, the same way that Michelangelo was searched for the sculpture in the stone.
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it”. [1]
It also seems to me that he is keeping the Law of Demeter [2] in mind as well.
