This is very interesting stuff.  I've been thinking about similar
possibilities, though more in the sense that my desktop application
might learn my expectations (for entities, for instance) and process

Not so much a single sign-on as a single user, but you've certainly got
the potential to take that way past anything I've considered so far.
