1 Vision / goal - A tool to amplify human ability
-There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +In short, this is what I want:
+-
+
- Perfect data storage and computation engine + + +
- Feeds lots of complex data into your brain in intuitive to explore,
+understand and manipulate form by extensively relying on realtime 3D
+graphics and fast feedback loop. (including virtual reality support)
+
+
+-Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: +âVirtual reality holds the key to the evolution of the human mindâ +Dr. Lawrence Angelo, The Lawnmower Man (1992)
+

+
+
-1.1 Perfect data storage and computation engine
+
+Everything is object.
+
+On the fly modifiable / reprogrammable.
+
+Anything can be suspended/resumed from persistent storage on the
+fly.
+
-
-+I love thease existing solutions and properties: +
+-
-
- Sub projects: +
- Lisp (programming language):
-
-
- First layer of storage: Simple persistent key-value map. +
- Almost no syntax. + +
- Code and data intercangeable. + +
- Easily self modifying. + +
- - In software, pure Java realtime 3D rendering engine. +
- Smalltalk (programming language / runtime): -
-
-
-2 Vision
-
+Relational databases:
-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.
+Git (version control system)
+
+
+Hadoop (computation system):
+
+
+
-
-
-
- A tool to amplify human ability. +
- Transactional + +
- Indexable / Quickly searchable + +
-
+
- Versionable + +
- Branchable / mergeable. + +
- Transparent cansistency, checksumming and deduplication. +
-
+
- 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). + +
-âVirtual reality holds the key to the evolution of the human mindâ -Dr. Lawrence Angelo, The Lawnmower Man (1992) +I hate to choose between good things. Figuring out a way to combine +above properties in one system would be beyond awesome. +
+ ++(I have not solved it yet..)

3 Features to implement in the future
-
-
+-
-
- Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
+
Formulated high-level vision / goal.
+
-Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user
-interfaces.
-
-Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an
-alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha.
+In the process of implementing some of building blocks:
+
-P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system.
+System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required
+and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)

-
- 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. -
-
+
- First layer of storage: Simple persistent key-value map. + -
- Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. +
- In software, pure Java realtime 3D rendering engine.
