-* Vision
-- A tool to amplify human ability.
-
-- 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.

-* Feature ideas to implement/incorporate in the future
-- Semantic networks / knowledge trees.
-  - Is able to use natural language for knowledge mining and question answering.
-    This could potentially lead to self aware artificial intelligence. Because
-    of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics]["Three laws safe"]] design, there is nothing that can go wrong.
-
-- Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user
-  interfaces.
-
-- Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an
-  alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha.
-
-- Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and
-  processing, similar to IBM Watson.
-
-- P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system.
-
-* 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.
-** Computing
-Efficient distributed computing is required.

++ Formulated high-level [[id:1f4e1c17-d25f-4d92-aa9b-5785f1d86f4f][vision / goal]].
 
-Possible solutions:
-+ MapReduce algorithm.
-+ LLVM.
-+ Julia programming language.

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

+* Frequently Given Answers
+- Why such name ?
+  - In short: it's just a number.
+  - Many years ago inspired by the ideas of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)][Forth (programming
+    language)]] I decided to create my own implementation [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/fifth/doc/index.html][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.
