The solution is obvious. Cache not only data, but functions as well.
I should be able to download entire systems on local devices (a cache hub, a router, a personal cache hotspot, a smartphone), and have them work offline if necessary.
However, this will require a new computing paradigm altogether, powered by a new language. This kind of seamless caching demands a language with superior semantics (API auto-discoversbility) and logic-programming influence. I imagine some kind of predicate store should do the job.

We already have things that run on both server and client, javascript being the obvious one, where there's already a blending of computation for webpage rendering happening (pre-rendered on the server then the code for updating sent to the client).
