the Cloud
Outside the controlled environment of every node is the large "kobe" background. This is called "the Cloud". This is the highest-level, common area for the network and data ecosystem where goods and messages are exchanged. It's like the Calabi-Yau(w) manifold of our universe. Each object in the Cloud has an address in coordinate space. This is what makes it distinct from the Soup.
Since nodes are encoded with a color, one can simply emit a message or object into the void, whereby it floats in the void (with some velocity if processing allows for it). Other nodes with a Want or Curious setting that is close by can get a notice from the system about it ("SYSTEM: Node with payload X, intensity Y, message Z").
If one enters a domain of a predefined geographic area (like a network wifi or other defined, network domain), they are part of a node automatically -- the node defined around their physical network presence. This node has it`s own "soup" or broadcast area, much like cells have a soup of their own that allow their organelles to communicate to each other. I can send a MSG and state the level of publication that I want. I might enter Powell's cafe, within the Portland node, within the Multnomah node, within the USA node, etc. I can say MSG "Anyone want to chat?" and it will assume the present proximate geographic group of which my node is within. But you can say MSG "Anyone want to chat?" >> >> and it will go out to 3 levels upwards in scope. If you getstate on a message object, it will reveal the color and these can be filtered if you dont' want to be botherd by wide-broadcast messages.
Anyone want X (the stronger the feeling the more "intensity" it has, a weighted variable that can be scaled down per user-trust) Anyone have X? What is this?
With this the Singularity project has the capability to accomplish anything people want to do in society to interact in the non-material universe, but adds the ability to do it in constant time through the use of networks.
One can set a four-dimensional tensor (for the four color axiis on these four tensions)(number after colon is the "tension" or degree of intensity):
- Want:10%:(-0.5,0.3,..); bounty
- Have:60% (anything over 50% is considered semi-available)
- Curious:90% (need X)
- Waste: pops the outer shell/membrane (removes ownership/payment data) and puts the code to the void, where it floats freely.
Consider organizing things like the Pangaia World Game:
- Tasks/Quests
- Offers/Bounties
