    3 Feature ideas to implement/incorporate in the future

    -
    +
    +

    1.1.1 Computation

    +
      -
    • Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
    • Lisp (programming language):
        -
      • 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. +
      • Almost no syntax. +
        • +
      • Code and data intercangeable. +
        • +
      • Easily self modifying. +
        • +
      • (The big Lisp idea: https://dev.to/ericnormand/the-idea-of-lisp )
      • -
    • Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +
    • Smalltalk (programming language / runtime): +
        +
      • Everything is object.
        • - -
      • Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
      • On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable.
        • - -
      • Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +
      • Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the +fly. +
        • +
      • -
    • P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
    • Hadoop (computation system): +
        +
      • Many individual connected computers behave as one big +computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable. +
        • +
      • Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides +problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined. +
        • +
      • Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in +resiliency. +
        • +
      • Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node +that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network +efficiency). +

    +

    1.1.2 Data storage

    +

    -Perfect computing system must have advanced data visualization, -storage, transmission and computation capabilities. +See: Sixth data subproject
