5 Geometrical computation idea

+
+
+
+

5.1 Distributed computation and data storage

+
+

+Lots of problems can be translated to geometry (use any shapes and as +many dimensions as you need). Solution(s) to such problems could be +then found via geometrical search/comparison/lookup results. As a +bonus, such geometrical *data storage* AND *computation* can be +naturally made in *parallel* and *distributed*. +

+ +

+Learning means building/updating/re-balancing the model (the hard +part). Question answering is making (relatively simple) lookups +(geometrical queries) against the model. +

+
+
+
+

5.2 Mapping hypercube to object-oriented model and relational database

+
+

+Object oriented programming is inspired by the way human mind +operates. It allows programmer to express ideas to computer in a more +human-like terms. +

+

+It is actually also possible to map object model and relational +database to geometrical hyperspace: +

  • Implemented very simple persistent key-value map.
    • +
  • Object or database table row is a point in hypercube arbitrary +dimensional space. Each object member variable or database table +column can be mapped to its own dimension in hypercube. That is: if +class declares 4 variables for an object, then corresponding object +can be stored as a single point inside 4 dimensional +hypercube. Variable values translate to point coordinates in that +hypercube. That is: numbers and string can be translated to linear +value that can be used as a coordinate along particular dimension. +
    • + +
  • Each object class or database table declares its own hypercube that +contain instances (objects) of that class or rows of a table. +

5.3 Mapping entity relations in hypercube

+
+

+Consider we want to create database of: +

+
    +
  • Books. +
    • +
  • Authors. +
    • +
  • Effort: Amount of time contributed by every author to every book +that he/she wrote. +
    • +
+ +

+Information above can be represented as 3D cube where dimensions are: +

+
    +
  • X: Book +
    • +
  • Y: Author +
    • +
  • Z: Effort +

-Long term goal is to implement more advanced features on top of this. +Points in that cube would nicely capture many to many relations +between authors and the books.
