1 Vision / goal - A tool to amplify human ability

-There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +In short, this is what I want:

+ +
+
+

1.1 Perfect data storage and computation engine

+
+

+I love thease existing solutions and properties: +

+ +
  • Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the +fly.

    2 Vision

    -
    +
  • Relational databases:
      -
    • A tool to amplify human ability. +
    • Transactional
      • - -
    • Properly visualizes and immerses user in completely various forms of -information and provides intuitive and powerful ways to explore, -interact and manipulate it with fast feedback loop to immediately -see results. +
    • Indexable / Quickly searchable

    3 Feature ideas to implement/incorporate in the future

    -
    -
      -
    • Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
    • Git (version control system)
        -
      • 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. +
      • Versionable +
        • +
      • Branchable / mergeable. +
        • +
      • Transparent cansistency, checksumming and deduplication.
      • -
    • Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. +
    • Hadoop (computation system): +
        +
      • Many individual connected computers behave as one big +computer. System is horizontally linearly scalable.
        • - -
      • Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. +
      • Programming abstraction and execution model that naturally divides +problems te be solved in parallel and result easily combined.
        • - -
      • Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +
      • Data is spread across nodes, automatic failover, built in +resiliency.
        • - -
      • P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
      • Small pieces of code are automatically transferred to the node +that contains relatively big data that needs processing (network +efficiency). +

    4 Technical capabilities to have

    -
    -

    -Perfect computing system must have advanced data visualization, -storage, transmission and computation capabilities. -

    -There are LOTS of existing cool technical ideas and solutions for each -challenge. It's really hard to pick the best. Here is a small list to -evaluate. -

    -
    -
    -

    4.1 Computing

    -
    -

    -Efficient distributed computing is required. +I hate to choose between good things. Figuring out a way to combine +above properties in one system would be beyond awesome.

    -Possible solutions: +(I have not solved it yet..)

    -
      -
    • MapReduce algorithm. -
      • -
    • LLVM. -
      • -
    • Julia programming language. -
      • -
    • … -

    4.2 Networking

    -
    -

    -P2P secure, fast and reliable networking is required. -
