Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure either. Alan Kay has a very socratic way of communicating (at least from reading through all his comments on the AMA) and I often feel like he's been sitting in a higher plane of thought for so long that the only way he is able to communicate his ideas is by 'forcing' the recipient to make the same jumps he has (a bit like the square in Flatland). I could be completely misunderstanding where he was going with those thoughts.
