Yes, Reified is a good word. I think it probably does that because it does 
make concrete instances from meta descriptions. 

I can't see it's all that 'Ontological' at the moment though, but no reason to 
be discouraged - still a bit of a mouthful.

"Smoke could have only been created by Ashley. 
Smoke exists. 
Therefore Ashley exists."

I not so sure about 'Massively', as it might suggest code bloat (on my mind 
with the magic marshalling). I'd rather have something suggesting 'Simple' or 
a 'Small' in there somewhere :)

I don't like 'RDF' though because it isn't a proper word.

I have (Services or System optional on the end to get 'MIRRORS'):

'Marshalling, Invocation Resource Resolution Over Reflection'

As it has lots of marshalling, and the new magic URI thingies could be 
described as 'Invocation Resouce Resolution' when we look up where the 
documentation or other services are on the net.
