That's right. I did not try to think out a complete system definition, only a concept bounds.
I had the same questions when writing it, but left them unanswered with a "TODO: find a mechanism".
And this TODO could be potentially solved by evolving. Although, my concept misses the description of what and how should evolve.

Not only the concept of society was an inspiration.

The "general purpose" (groups of) neurons in the brain also must specialize for some task, and then they represent the old knowledge.
Then there must be a mechanism which ensures that their specialization will not be lost, and more, that they will be found and used to solve new tasks.
This is probably done by "random" trials of using them to solve it, and depending on the result of the action, their association to a group solving the new task is strengthened [or reduced] (e.g. through the emotions concept).

The way how brain works may not be the only possible solution and we should not stick to it, but at least we know one working concept.
This may not be the way how brain works, but sound reasonably.

So, this business society model is an attempt to create a principle that could work on similar principles: allow specialization, reuse specialized units for new tasks, discard units that do not contribute to the solution of a task for other use. Maybe I should not have named it "business society".

By the way, it seems that in special case it can form a neural network and backpropagation.

I know that any concept I think out is likely to be at the level of 50's research; I am just a student after all :-) That why I asked for comments and references to the results of the research already done. Thanks for them.
