   Yeah, but I think Brad Cox deserves to be named. As a side note he has two really good (if a bit dated) books: "Object-oriented programming ; an evolutionary approach" and "Superdistribution: Objects as Property on the Electronic Frontier".

   While you are looking, Brad Cox’s other book Superdistribution: Objects as Property on the Electronic Frontier is well worth a read to get a feel for where he wanted to go.

   Brad Cox's two books are worth reading:

   "Object-Oriented Programming: An Evolutionary Approach" ISBN-10: 0201548348 ISBN-13: 978-0201548341

   "Superdistribution: Objects as Property on the Electronic Frontier" ISBN-10: 0201502089 ISBN-13: 978-0201502084

   even after all these years, they still give some interesting insights

   Brad Cox laid out a scheme similar to this in hopes of solving the software crisis, in his 1995 book Superdistribution. Now, it wasn't really technically feasible when software was local and native, but in the cloud era it makes a lot more sense. I've personally felt the pain of creating a bespoke multitiered billing system so I appreciate what you're trying to do here, good luck!
