Claim Text:
1. A terminal for exchanging messages via tokens brought in proximity to the terminal, the terminal comprising: at least one communication processor to exchange token relationship information with storage media; at least one detection processor for substantially localizing and identifying local semantic tokens brought in proximity to the terminal; a display for displaying a visual representation of remote semantic tokens; proximity logic configured to assert a local proximity relationship between a first one of the local semantic tokens and a reference location if the first one of the local semantic tokens and the reference location are localized at a distance below a predetermined first proximity radius, the reference location being a second one of the local semantic tokens or a fixed point on the terminal; a database update agent, operatively coupled to the proximity logic, for storing asserted local proximity relationships in the storage media; and a database querying agent for obtaining cross-site proximity relationship information pertaining to the local semantic tokens from the storage media, the cross-site proximity relationship information comprising an identification of remote semantic tokens present at another terminal in a proximity relationship with semantic tokens equivalent to respective ones of the local semantic tokens,
