4/ Latency: There must be a meaningful latency constraint at least comparable to an MMO for a node to participate usefully in the system.

5/ Consumer interface: You can go to a site/open an app and do something that no non-LOLCATS system can.

6/ Affordability: Adding an edge node must be highly affordable to a median adult in the developed world (eg. <$200 Arduino based)

7/ Teaming: It must be possible to do distributed control over networks using teams of >=2. Eg. 2-drone formation flight negotiated online

8/ Single-point of failure resistance. This probably means peering (though not necessarily open) at server layer as well.

9/ Looking at the examples I know of, there has not yet been a full LOLCATS system built. Most common shortcomings are actuation and teaming

Seems to me people have been dreaming of LOLCATS systems avant la acronym for years with basically zero progress towards them.
