- - Computations are done primarily in on versioned data in distributed, +scalable, arbitrary dimensional hypercube based geometrical +computation engine. + + +
- Free and open. + + +
- Network first:
-
-
- Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
- Cross device:
-
-
- 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. -
+ - 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). + + + + +
- Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +
- 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. + -
- Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
- 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) + -
- Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +
- 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. + -
- P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
- 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 ! + +

- 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. + +
