1 Vision / goal - A tool to amplify human ability

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

1.1 Perfect data storage and computation engine

+
+ +

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

2 Vision

+
+

1.1.1 Computation

+
    -
  • A tool to amplify human ability. +
  • Lisp (programming language): +
    • -
  • 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. +
  • Smalltalk (programming language / runtime): +
      +
    • Everything is object. +
      • +
    • On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable. +
      • +
    • Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the +fly.

    +
  • Hadoop (computation system): +
      +
    • Many individual connected computers behave as one big +computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable. +
      • +
    • Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides +problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined. +
      • +
    • 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). +

3 Features to implement in the future

-
+
+

1.1.2 Data storage

+
+

+See: Sixth data subproject +

+ +
    +
  • Relational databases:
      -
    • Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
    • Transactional +
      • +
    • Indexable / Quickly searchable +
      • +
    +
    • + +
  • Git (version control system)
      -
    • 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. +
    • Versionable +
      • +
    • Branchable / mergeable. +
      • +
    • Transparent cansistency, checksumming and deduplication. +
      • +
    • (Git as a database: +https://www.kenneth-truyers.net/2016/10/13/git-nosql-database/ )
    • +
+
+

  • Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +

    • Formulated high-level vision / goal.
      • -
    • Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
    • In the process of implementing some of building blocks: +
      • -
    • P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
    • System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required +and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)
