    1 Vision / goal - A tool to amplify human ability

    -There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +In short, this is what I want:

    -

    -Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: -

    2 Vision

    - +

    +I hate to choose between good things. Figuring out a way to combine +below properties in one system would be beyond awesome. +

    3 Feature ideas to implement/incorporate in the future

    -
    +
    +

    1.1.1 Computation

    +
      -
    • Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
    • Lisp (programming language):
        -
      • Is able to use natural language for knowledge mining and question answering. -This could potentially lead to self aware artificial intelligence. Because -of "Three laws safe" design, there is nothing that can go wrong. +
      • Almost no syntax. +
        • +
      • Code and data intercangeable. +
        • +
      • Easily self modifying. +
        • +
      • (The big Lisp idea: https://dev.to/ericnormand/the-idea-of-lisp )
      • -
    • Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +
    • Smalltalk (programming language / runtime): +
        +
      • Everything is object.
        • - -
      • Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
      • On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable.
        • - -
      • Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +
      • Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the +fly.
        • - -
      • P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
      • GemStone/S: Awesome feature list!

    4 Technical capabilities to have

    -
    -

    -Perfect computing system must have advanced data visualization, -storage, transmission and computation capabilities. -

    - -

    -There are LOTS of existing cool technical ideas and solutions for each -challenge. It's really hard to pick the best. Here is a small list to -evaluate. -

    -
    -
    -

    4.1 Computing

    -
    -

    -Efficient distributed computing is required. -

    + -

    -Possible solutions: -

    +
  • Hadoop (computation system):
      -
    • MapReduce algorithm. +
    • Many individual connected computers behave as one big +computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable.
      • -
    • LLVM. +
    • Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides +problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined.
      • -
    • Julia programming language. +
    • Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in +resiliency.
      • -
    • … +
    • Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node +that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network +efficiency). +

    -

    -P2P secure, fast and reliable networking is required. -
