The Ontology Stream Inc business case

2/17/2004 7:42 AM

Dear Friends

I have expressed, to John Sowa, a deeply felt belief that a business case of Ontology Stream Inc can be made in several ways. Professor Sowa is one of the most respected workers in ontology and machine representation of human knowledge.

The Ontology Stream Inc business case is backed by an extensive review of all machine intelligence research, and the acknowledgement that most of this work is wrong minded. The wrong mindedness is reinforced by an active inhibition from economic powers that has established the same type of economic control over the market that Edison did when Telsa’s technology based on alternating electrical current was inhibited from replacing an early and extremely wasteful technology based on direct electrical current.

So we have coined the terms, DC-IT and AC-IT to talk about the difference between information technologies based on a one way push and knowledge technology where action-perception cycles allows (or will allow) the average user to have control over the representations and processes on one’s own computer. In knowledge management circles, this user centric control implies a pull capability as well as a push capability.

The Knowledge Operating System and the Knowledge Sharing Foundation are two realizations of how AC-IT can become supported in a market place.

What is correct about the current research literature is isolated as if by an immune system. The correct paradigm involves an tightly coupled action-perception cycle where in each cycle we have human cognitive acuity engaged in establishing meaning and making corrections to what would become false sense making.

Through the use of the knowledge technology patent map, that could be used to capture a critical mass of underlying techniques related to the production of a semiotic control system with memory of categorical invariance and rules of assembly.

This is what we are suggesting to John Sowa and others within the leading edge research community.
