+Provide versioned, clustered, flexible, distributed, multi-dimensional
+data storage engine for the [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/sixth/doc/index.html][Sixth computation engine]].
+
++ Speaking of traditional relational database and object oriented
+  business applications:
+  + I hate object-relational impedance mismatch.
+
+  + I don't like to convert data between persistent database and
+    runtime objects for every transaction. How about creating united
+    database/computation engine instead to:
+    + Eliminate constant moving and converting of data between 2 systems.
+    + Abstract away difference between RAM VS persistent storage. Let
+      the system decide at runtime which data to keep in what kind of
+      memory.
+
+** Inspiration
++ Relational databases:
+  + Transactional.
+  + Indexable / Quickly searchable.
+
++ Git (version control system)
+  + Versionable
+  + Branchable / mergeable.
+  + Transparent cansistency, checksumming and deduplication.
+  + (Git as a database:
+    https://www.kenneth-truyers.net/2016/10/13/git-nosql-database/ )
+
++ Brain (appears to have more than 3D dimensional design. Food for
+  thought...)
+  + https://singularityhub.com/2017/06/21/is-there-a-multidimensional-mathematical-world-hidden-in-the-brains-computation/
+    + From there comes following idea: Maybe every problem can be
+      translated to geometry (use any shapes and as many dimensions as
+      you need). Solution(s) to such problems would then appear as
+      relatively simple search/comparison/lookup results. As a bonus,
+      such geometrical *data storage* AND *computation* can be
+      naturally made in *parallel* and *distributed*. That's what
+      neurons in the brain appear to be doing ! :) . Learning means
+      building/updating the model (the hard part). Question answering
+      is making (relatively simple) lookups (geometrical queries)
+      against the model.

 - Implemented very simple persistent key-value map.
+  - Long term goal is to use it as a backing storage engine and
+    implement more advanced features on top of this.
