1.2 Solution (the big idea)

-I see 4D data structure. -

-Dimensions: -

  • Brain (appears to have more than 3D dimensional design. Food for +thought…)
      -
    • List of all the objecs in the system (rows). -
      • -
    • List of all declared unique object fields (columns). -
      • -
    • List of all historical transactions/commits/versions (think of -sheets of paper). -
      • -
    • List of all concurrently running branches/threads. Branches can -appear and merge over time as needed. -
      • -
    • (Every cell is concrete field value within an object) -

    • 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.

    2 Current status

      +
    • More or less defined Vision / goal. +
      • +
    • 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. +
