A couple of thoughts re revising this:
1) Combine/replace it with this article: LINK
2) Update it to discuss the role of transapients more - specifically along the lines that have been mentioned earlier: The megacorps of the Federation Age trying out different ontologies as alternatives to the failing First Fed ontology, these based around something analogous to 'corporate culture'. These might start out as ways of letting the megacorps maintain cohesion over interstellar distances and then be modified to actually run whole 'client worlds' to fill the power vacuum left by the Federation.
Just some thoughts,
Todd
