At least to me, this seems completely pointless. Parts of it seem like POSIX, while others seem like another abstraction layer. What exactly does this provide that isn't already provided?
In a component system (also see COM (.NET), COBRA, SOM... to get a better idea) you describe a object interface with a interface description language IDL. This mean the component could be written in a arbitrary language as long it implement the interface. Because the properties of the object are known through this IDL you can do thing like introspection, run it in different process and so on... All this thinks could be done from the framework (because it knows the object) and you don't need to do it yourself.
Hope that helps a bit.
