+- Sub projects:
-
-
-
- First layer of storage: Simple persistent key-value map. +
- Makes data and insights easy to discover, understand, manipulate, +transform and visualize. -
- In software, pure Java realtime 3D rendering engine. +
+Workflow and user interface is intuitive, visual, realtime, +3D-first. +

+
+
+- Computations are done primarily in on versioned data in distributed, +scalable, arbitrary dimensional hypercube based geometrical +computation engine. + +
- Free and open. + +
- Network first:
+
-
+
- Cross device:
-
-
- 3D engine demos +
- Easily switch devices and still access same data, workspaces and +visualizations. +
- Easily access and combine storage and computing resources of +other connected devices.
+
+ - Ability to collaborate (multi user).
- Cross device:
- A tool to amplify human ability. +
- GNU Emacs - At the heart, Emacs is text editor on top of Lisp +runtime. Data storage and computation can be done in Lisp. Lisp is +on itself programmable programming language where new paradigms can +be added dynamically. Domain specific languages to fit particular +problem could be developed as needed and Emacs extended to support +those languages. Emacs provides text buffers that can be used to +build user interfaces. So you can customize Emacs and Lisp to fit +any problem domain. + +
- Eclipse IDE - In essence OSGi platform with a text +editor. Computation done in java. Eclipse provides integration, +runtime and GUI platform. One can develop Eclipse plugins to add +necessary logic and visual parts to fit any problem. (IntelliJ and +NetBeans have similar properties) -
- Properly visualizes and immerses user in completely various forms of -information and provides intuitive and powerful ways to explore, interact and -manipulate it with fast feedback loop to immediately see results. +
- IBM Notes/Domino - Custom database engine, software development +platform, GUI editor, computation can be done in Java and +LotusScript. You can build distributed business applications on it +as a platform. + +
- SAP ABAP - Custom database engine, runtime, GUI platform, +development environment and programming language. Is being used as a +platform to build business applications with any logic and UI. + +
- Microsoft Access - Database management system that combines +relational database engine with a graphical user interface and +software-development tools.
- Formulated high-level vision / goal. -
- In the process of implementing some of building blocks. + +
- System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required +and almost non-existent free time available). Contributions are +welcome ! +
- Sixth - Parent project.
+
-
+
- Sixth Data - Data storage and computation engine. +
- Sixth 3D - 3D engine - for user interface and data visualization.
+
-
+
- Sixth 3D engine demos - Demonstration of Sixth 3D engine capabilities. +
+
+ - Why such name ?
+
-
+
- In short: it's just a number. +
- Many years ago inspired by the ideas of Forth (programming +language) I decided to create my own implementation Fifth +(computing/programming environment). +
- Forth/Fifth felt a bit too low-level language. So current +project/approach is an attempt using Java. +
+ - kons-9: An IDE For 3D Production. The intention is to develop a +flexible and extensible system in which can be built a wide variety +of application and domain specific tools and packages. + +
- Glamorous Toolkit: Moldable development environment. It is a live +notebook. It is a flexible search interface. It is a fancy code +editor. It is a software analysis platform. It is a data +visualization engine. All in one. +
- Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
- Array Databases: Concepts, Standards, Implementations + +
- TileDB
-
-
- 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. +
- Analyze and share complex multi-dimensional data at scale
- - Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +
- CM-1 Connection Machine -
- Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
- Lisp-Stat: An environment for Statistical Computing +
- ChrysaLisp
+
-
+
- Assembler/C-Script/Lisp 64 bit, MIMD, multi CPU, multi threaded, +multi core, multi user Parallel OS. With GUI, Terminal, OO +Assembler, Class libraries, C-Script compiler, Lisp interpreter, +Debugger, and more… +
+
+ - TAOS
+
-
+
- Completely distributed operating system/virtual machine: +
+
+ - Gemstone/S
+
-
+
- Completely distributed smalltalk based computing +system. +
- - Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +

+
-
+
- Programs run forever. System crash or reboot does not destroy +state of running program. +
- - P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
- Magma
+
-
+
- Multi-user object database for Squeak +

+-There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +Goal is, so called bicycle for the mind.
-Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: +A tool, that provides powerful, extensible, adaptable, hackable, easy +to use, general purpose computing environment for working with +knowledge.
