    1 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability

    -

    -There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +

    +Makes lots of complex data intuitive to:
    +  - explore, understand
    +  - manipulate and compute on
    +
    +by extensively relying on:
    +  - realtime 3D graphics with immediate feedback loop
    +  - flexible and distributed computation and data storage

    + +

    -Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: +“Virtual reality holds the key to the evolution of the human mind” +Dr. Lawrence Angelo, The Lawnmower Man (1992)

    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: -

    +
  • Why such name ?
      -
    • MapReduce algorithm. -
      • -
    • LLVM. +
    • In short: it's just a number.
      • -
    • Julia programming language. +
    • Many years ago inspired by the ideas of Forth (programming +language) I decided to create my own implementation Fifth +(computing/programming environment).
      • -
    • … +
    • Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So +I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.
