Andy,
"It WAS the productivity impact of the 2 initial applications:
1) The word processor gave everyone the digital revolution on their desk; and raised the quality, speed and cut their costs.
2) the Visi Calc spread sheet gave every business and government office control of the numeric and financial data."
Word processing and spreadsheets harness the two fundamental ways in which humans organize information through words and math. This is why they were the two first "killer applications." Other so called killers, OS GUI, desktop publishing, and the Web browser were further advanced in the manner in which these modalities were harnessed through some form of visual model that engaged the mind taking advantage of our considerable pattern matching skill.
Cubicon is fundamentally about inventing an iconic medium for general systems. The medium mirrors concrete "cube of icons" syntax within an empirically observed distributed semantic space.
From this perspective, one can postulate that Cubicon context-based systems will interact differently than today's application-based systems. Complex one-on-one API interactions are replaced by components that combinatorially express naturally. The components are all formed within the same meta-meta architecture and express as iconic structures easy for human manipulation and understanding. This advanced architecture shifts the notion of software applications so far as to fundamentally allow the computer science culture to evolve with far fewer professional code developers.
I wrote the attached Cubicon Symmetry paper years ago that discusses the striking resemblance of the 21st Century Cubicon to Picasso and Braque.
