    1 Vision / goal

    +

    +Provide versioned, clustered, flexible, distributed, multi-dimensional +data storage engine for the Sixth computation engine. +

    + +
      +
    • Speaking of traditional relational database and object oriented +business applications: +
        +
      • I hate object-relational impedance mismatch. +
        • + +
      • I don't like to convert data between persistent database and +runtime objects for every transaction. How about creating united +database/computation engine instead to:

        • Implemented very simple persistent key-value map.
          • +
        • Eliminate constant moving and converting of data between 2 systems. +
          • +
        • Abstract away difference between RAM VS persistent storage. Let +the system decide at runtime which data to keep in what kind of +memory. +

    2.1 Brain

    +
    +
      +
    • Appears to have more than 3D dimensional design. Food for +thought…) + +
      • + +
    • From there come following ideas: +
        +
      • Maybe every problem can be translated to geometry (use any shapes +and as many dimensions as you need). Solution(s) to such problems +would then appear as relatively simple search/comparison/lookup +results. As a bonus, such geometrical *data storage* AND +*computation* can be naturally made in *parallel* and +*distributed*. That's what neurons in the brain appear to be doing +! :) . Learning means building/updating the model (the hard +part). Question answering is making (relatively simple) lookups +(geometrical queries) against the model. +
        • + +
      • Mapping of hyperspace to traditional object-oriented programming +model: +
          +
        • Object is a point in space (universe). Each object member +variable translates to its own dimension. That is: if class +declares 4 variables for an object, then corresponding object +can be stored as a single point inside 4 dimensional +space. Variable values translate to point coordinates in +space. That is: Integer, floating point number and even boolean +and string can be translated to linear value that can be used as +a coordinate along particular dimension. +
          • + +
        • Each class declares its own space (universe). All class +instances (objects) are points inside that particular +universe. References between objects of different types are +hyperlinks (portals) between different universes. +

    • More or less defined Vision / goal. +
      • + +
    • Collected some ideas. +
      • + +
    • Implemented very simple persistent key-value map. +
        +
      • Long term goal is to use it as a backing storage engine and +implement more advanced features on top of this. +
