I would like to share my thoughts on this subject in general... Might diverge from the OP a slight bit.
My personal understanding of how social memory complexes work is you retain your individuality within the complex, but you can access memories / experiences of other members. To make an analogy, its like hooking your computer up to the internet: your computer is still an individual computer (it doesn't "merge" with the internet into one giant computer), but has access to all the information on the internet. Yet viruses and other software could make virtually all computers connected work together on some task... A good example of this is SETI@home.
Other than than, I have always wondered how social memory complexes interact with each other... I'm sure individual people from different complexes talk to each other, but I wonder if there are ever events where an entire complex diverts it's attention on another complex or one task for whatever reason?
