à The first major breakthrough in representing the work of the
Artist ß
Communication to a colleague:
I should share with you some
information (public) about Sandy Klausner's CoreTalk:
A large and very useful Macromedia presentation on CoreTalk is downloadable from my web site at:
http://www.bcngroup.org/beadgames/safeNet/CoreTalkIntro.zip (Windows)
I introduced Sandy to Richard Ballard
and between the two of them they have a lot of the keys to Service Oriented Architecture (that does not depend on .net or J2EE or W3C or Topic Maps)
I have also done a lot of work on Topic Map (TM) foundational discussions with various people, since 2000.
I have worked on a number of patents in areas related to what I suspect your patent is on and know the literature and the patent space...
Ok, so also I wanted to say something about function and structure... and point you to a beginning in this discussion...

Concept of double articulation in linguistics
On the Nature of Stratification: December 24th, 2001
creates in introduction to stratification and shows how a double articulation assumes organizational strata to the formative processes both in our perception of reality and in the way that reality itself forms (seen and un-seen forces).
The topic of "un-seen" forces should start with the science of quantum theory, go to the complexity theory related to "epistemic gaps" (Maturana), and to Soviet era applied semiotics (qualitative structure activity relationship (Q-SAR) ) analysis and the underlying work on Mills and Peirce done in the development of Quasi Axiomatic Theory, by Victor Finn and Dimtri Pospelov – who were leaders of the Soviet school.
The decoupling of meaning from structure can be “done” but not done, if meaning is "structure" as would Tim Berners Lee and his group (Jim Hendler). The paradoxes expressed in structure and function degeneracy if often avoided, leading to the predicted failures of the W3C standards.
My warning to US Customs and others about the required failure of W3C standards is based on the W3C’s unwillingness to even acknowledge that function and structure do not have one to one mappings. So much is known by natural scientists about function/structure “degeneracy” (to use degeneracy as Gerald Edelman does). Many to many mappings have to be acknowledged, as I have in my RoadMap – through the use of SchemaLogic, polylogics (the Pile System), and the response degeneracy underlying the eventChemistry (eC) and generalFramework (gF) constructions.
The W3C mistake is so profound as to call for an analysis as to why our institutionally supported science has so limited ourselves with an enforced materialism, and reductionism. The mistake is in not recognizing that the “origin” of function and the “origin” of structure exist separately in nature. This profound error is at the core of the discussions undertaken by the New Mexico Foundations, Foundation for Creative Extension and Acquisition, that I founded this year.
The fact is that human-centric information production (HIP) is required if the human intelligence is to be called on within the situation.
I will say one more thing to be complete. Push-pull portals, most deeply advocated by Autonomy Inc in the 1998 - 2004 era, failed because of ubiquitous institutional and social resistance to letting go of the illusion of control that push (advertising) systems has created.
Advertising is what makes market economies work, right? Wrong! This glorification of advertising is a polemic. Market economies would work better, deliver better product and services, if technologies existed that allowed individuals to have informational transparency. Market decisions are not now informed, but rather controlled by practiced deception on the part of an advertising industry. The belief in the value of advertising has almost taken the form of a State Religion. IT feeds into this viewpoint by supporting only the push technology - inspite of some headway made with search engines.
The search engines are a long way from being a true pull technology. Huge economic forces automatically array to take the value found from Goggle and others and create taxation and control over the value that would be produced if only people could really have all information indexed smartly. Goggle will never be able to do this, not because it is not technically possible but because the sources of venture capital will oppose giving up control through the inhibition of “virtually free” pull technology.
Ontological models that separate function and structure could be used to pull, even if the information space (like the internet) was still under the control of really stupid things... like gambling, sexual addiction, spam and false advertising. But the use of "situational and formative ontology"
http://www.bcngroup.org/procurementModel/to-be/di.htm
has to be "uncontrolled" TO WORK !!!!
This FACT would appear to most (all) of the venture capitalists as being a value proposition that they would NOT fund. However, the fact is that HIP cannot work if there is control for the purpose of paying software companies for the value that knowledge workers would achieve if left alone. This is what the Autonomy failures should have taught the markets.
The value proposition is in creating a low cost infrastructure (like what Klausner has talked to me about for years). But as soon as anyone establishes the standard, the ownership question re-arises and the cost is coupled with control. The potential pull technology become a new type of push technology where the right to do the correct things is infringed on by those who are trying to game the system for huge private profits. Sandy is now in a process that may capitalize his work, but will not produce the system he has talked about to myself and to others. This is a shame.
Current IT and Advertising Industries are extremely parasitic over our entire economic system. The creation of functional push/pull technologies (like Autonomy Inc’s knowledge portals) is a direct threat to these two industries. However the value to the individual of such technology is so great that eventually the IT and Advertising Industries will fade away, while our world recognizes that this world is already Heaven.
