1. A system comprising:
- i. a computer processor;
ii. a computer memory operatively connected to the processor;
iii. a data storage device comprising a data store, wherein the data storage device and the data store can be queried by the processor;
iv. a computer readable medium operatively connected to the processor, said medium comprising machine readable program code embodied therein to control and to direct the system to form one or more sets, wherein at least one of;
i) the one or more sets andii) at least one member of any of the one or more sets comprises a basis for providing a remote service, the forming and the providing comprising the steps of;
selecting a reference item, wherein the reference item comprises at least one of a reference service and a reference service provider;
selecting a specification of the reference item;
evaluating the specification of the reference item against a specification of one or more alternatives to the reference item;
determining interchangeability between the reference item and the one or more alternatives to the reference item based on evaluating the specification of the reference item in relation to the specification of the one or more alternatives to the reference item,wherein the determining of interchangeability is based on or comprises determining at least one of quasi-fungibility and quasi-anti-fungibility,wherein quasi-fungibility comprises a degree to which at least one of the one or more alternatives to the reference item is interchangeable with the reference item, andwherein quasi-anti-fungibility comprises a degree to which the one or more alternatives to the reference item comprises at least one of a concept, an attribute, a property, and an element anti to at least one of a concept, an attribute, a property, and an element of the reference item;
forming one or more sets based on or comprising the determined interchangeability; and
