==== Description: ====
A dynamically runtime reconfigurable polymorphic operating system kernel
architecture. This would, if fully realized, provide a new level of
flexibility and power for operating systems at a fundamental level by removing
any specific abstractions inherent in any one kernel architecture style
(monolithic kernel, microkernel, nanokernel etc...) and instead providing a
means for the kernel to dynamically alter its own internal structure at
runtime in response changes in its enviroment. The only platform-dependent
components in an ideal implementation of this architecture would be bootstrap
code and a small "exokernel" that would provide fundamental hardware-level
abstractions for another "superkernel" as it were that would provide the
dynamic kernel-level polymorphism. One possible implication of this capability
is dynamic executable file formats for processes that could be self-modifying
and/or changed in any way at runtime in a fashion that is transparent to the
user(s) of the system, up to a reasonable point.

(please note that "polymorphism" in this sense refers to the concept of "many
forms" and does not have any specific ties to object oriented programming
concepts/constructs...)


==== Other Comments: ====
this is pretty much a conceptual thing at this point... no real working code
as yet. First the design needs to be specified in more detail.
