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

10/ There are also four nice to have features, which take you into LOLCATS++ territory. These are...

11/ a) Byzantine fault tolerance. b) Blockchain microeconomy
c) Localized mobile ad-hoc networking, d) heterogeneity of nodes (2+ types)

12/ I'll bet that the first LOLCATS system will be live in <5 years, and the first LOLCATS++ system in <10 years.

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

Disagree. I think we've been inching forward steadily towards a full LOLCATS system for years, at about 5-10% per year.

Maybe in a Xeno’s Paradox kind of way. 5-10% of the remaining distance to the target.

5 years is probably too aggressive, but I'll take a 10 year long-bet for a full LOLCATS system being online.

Does it make sense to add Isolation of actuation to #2? No chain reactions or interference with other nodes (implied?!)

Yeah, implied where relevant obviously, but shouldn't be too strict. Cascading grid failures occur in power grid.
