Interesting idea. Instead of thinking of computing as an authoritarian schema, it could be a community schema, using a kanban or currency system to communicate resource needs between units.
It's also similar to negotiating memory over commitment in virtualization. VMWare's driver on the VM "inflates a memory bubble" to communicate host memory constraints to all client VMs. This is often done when VMs have allocated 125%-300% of the host's physical RAM, and forces clients to swap more.

General Intelligence needs the ability to trade off resources between different programs doing different things (these may be learning different things, processing data or doing other computational tasks). Also we get malware because we expect the user to be a good knowledgeable authoritarian manager of a system and never run a bad program and be able to get rid of a bad program when it occurs. This just isn't realistic.
