runtime objects for every transaction. How about creating united
database/computation engine instead to:

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Eliminate constant moving and converting of data between 2 systems.
</li>
<li>Abstract away difference between RAM VS persistent storage. Let

+Object oriented programming is inspired by the way human mind
+operates. It allows programmer to express ideas to computer in a more
+human-like terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is possible to map object model to geometrical hyperspace:
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li>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.
+</li>
+
+<li>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.

+contributed to every book, using hyperspace as follows:
