The global what!


Spome gal on a roll about the global brain, the philosophy of. She has some great historical background, makes it kind of mystical and fun.  Note where the brain ends up, the North Pole where is cold enough to pack a thousand heat generating Cray semantic processors.  Looking at this site, I will pick out some great links, stay tuned.

Starting to love this site:
All of this is a holistic approach to our own consciousness as a species, on+off line.
SO THAT'S OUR THE CHALLENGE: taking what we already know about the brain and re-imaging it or generating evolved sense from it to locate consciousness and then trying to ascertain whether it can be proxied or replicated in the "Global Brain" and consciousness that's being produced on the Web.
A conscious semantic machine! How would that work. What say we have a thought experiment.

When the semantic machine begin to predict and locate semantic patters (subgraphs of name-value pairs that match structure), its prediction will be acted on, by humans. What happens when the semantic machine begins to find patterns that include prior patters generated by itself? Will it notice iteself? Whoa, mysteries abound. Much more to see, go check it out.

A 'Software Stack', a graphical description of the layers in the semantic machine.

A couple of changes are now noted in the industry. XML sits here as a nested store, which it is.  But is bewing replaced by a binary JSON. The logic framework are the match and proceed rules. SparQL is going away, there is no separate query language in semantic web, just web bots composed of nested objects.  The graph layer is not there, the ndutry is just now figuring out they need the graph layer. Much of the RDF resource identifiers stays, embedded in  BSON and the predicate overloads (subject, predicate, object)  Namespace are an integral part of named graph.

I think the breakthrough comes when the industry realizes the query is a commutative operation, hence mobility and bots.  That generates the concept ontology navigation, and away we go.

I'm a fan, she is on the trail.

Methinks something is happening here for 2012, including a report (which I lost) that business intelligence is the number one IT business for 2012. In my mind, this all boils down to JSON and BSON, do those folks get it. I think they do, lets see what they do in the near future.
