These agents will act as the organization’s body and execute its Purpose.
An organization is a purposeful part in a greater ecosystem. The greater ecosystem will also be an organization. The top most organization for all organizations will be the planet’s ecosystem.
The resources of an organization will be resources of the greater ecosystem.
An organization that is not a planet’s ecosystem will be one of peer organizations within the ecosystem.
A minimal Goal pursuit capability at a point in context requires member agents: 1) measure states, 2) compare alignment with Purpose, and 3) align organization states with Purpose.
An organization exists at each location in context space where it can pursue Goals to align states of the organization’s Self in Expression context with its defined Purpose. Conversely, an organization does not exist at any point in context where it cannot pursue Goals.
An organization’s Purpose is its aggregate collection of Goals defined in Construction.
An organization’s Self is its aggregate states in Expression, a collection of contexts where the organization employs technology to pursue Goals. Self is the location of the organization at time Now, or Reality. Self is what is aligned by the organization with its Purpose.
An organization’s Identity is the totality of its existence, Purpose expressed as Self and all regulatory features, capabilities and resources known to it.

We call this existential range, Multilevel intelligent cellular architecture (Mica). It makes it possible to create a lighting panel that not only pursues the Goals of each light, but can act as an integrated smart light fixture and part of Purpose for higher level of physical structures such as a video, light and sound system or an intelligent theater. Purpose can be defined for each level of existence, yet combined in Construction such that all existential levels are defined in just one Construction-side fabric.]]>wJones CompanyStored PurposeResearchStored Purpose Concepts2010-10-08T18:20:15-04:00http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SemanticCommunication.html#unique-entry-id-108http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SemanticCommunication.html#unique-entry-id-108 When existential components share the same Construction basis, such as cellular instruments with the same genetic Identity, they are “in communication” in Construction, even if there is no information exchange in Expression. This is a phenomenon we discovered when designing intent propagation for the metacomputer. The result is two components can pursue goals in a coordinated fashion, without information, as long as each has access to the same external state information, we call Context.

Simple existential cellular components can become building material for more complex components. Those new components can be either the technology or larger component of something more complicated. Since all levels have a compatible Construction Translation Expression (CTE) at all levels above molecular, Purpose can be defined once and distributed throughout the system. In a less dynamic system, such as a body, the read-only Purpose of billions of components operating at multiple levels could be stored as a single genetic Identity document.]]>wJones CompanyStored PurposeResearchStored Purpose Concepts2010-10-08T18:18:24-04:00http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_Gia.html#unique-entry-id-79http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_Gia.html#unique-entry-id-79 The General intelligence algorithm (Gia) is the engine that translates between the Platonic Forms of Construction and the contextual states of Expression. Its processes sustain intelligent existence by composing Form data to the synthetic file system (SFS) and then processing the results. Each “insert” of a composition to Plan causes a wave, in which dependencies are calculated, sequenced and moved in time to make room for the consequence of prediction. Each wave may create new resource constraints that must be corrected with additional Goal pursuit and subsequent sequencing and prioritization of Plan. Once the “ripples” settle, the process is repeated for each level of existence served by the existential entity. A single metacomputer instrument might have Purpose at the cellular Ema, team Mica and department Mica levels.]]>wJones CompanyStored PurposeResearchStored Purpose Concepts2010-10-08T18:17:31-04:00http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SyntheticFileSystem.html#unique-entry-id-98http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SyntheticFileSystem.html#unique-entry-id-98 The Synthetic File System is the logical gateway to all symbols, objects and logic of a Stored Purpose system. It is the information conduit between timespaces and two radically different information models, Construction and Expression. It makes Translation possible. On one side, processes must read and write Platonic Form data, which is symbolic and relative. On the other side, processes must read, write and sequence discrete object states and their consequences across all time.]]>wJones CompanyStored PurposeResearchStored Purpose Concepts2010-10-08T18:16:38-04:00http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SafetyCurtailment.html#unique-entry-id-97http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/StoredPurpose_SafetyCurtailment.html#unique-entry-id-97 Curtailment is Cortical Mica Purpose for moderating standard Ema and Mica Goal Pursuit and Cortical Mica “free will” expression.

Taking a lesson learned from the difficult path of Artificial Intelligence, we decided to avoid the “top-down” approach of defining a mind with “human-only” qualities, i.e. the differences between chimp and man. Instead we opted to “work our way up,” first defining the differences between a rock and rice grass. This lead us to focus on creating fundamental mechanics of Goal Pursuit, Universal knowledge, existence and the development of the Existence model architecture (Ema). Ema was a gold mine, as it could be used to design almost anything, using a simple trick called recursion.

This is because we may lack needed vocabulary to consider a world, in which anything but us, is intelligent.

The new question is, what will we do when they get here? Earlier this year, wJones, a small Maryland R&D company submitted the first patent application for what they describe as a range of systems operating at different “levels” of existence. The science is called “stored purpose” and the new devices are called “metacomputers.” Unlike current “stored program” computers, which run programs using an architecture first described by John von Neumann in 1945, the new systems load a type of information first considered by Plato in 380BC, called Platonic Forms. Designers of the new computers use these Forms to build the genetic code of an agent. The agent “genome” is a contextual fabric of knowledge, goals and “purpose.” Since the new metacomputer software will run on everything from your mobile phone to your home thermostat, agents will be able to go where you can’t and do almost anything you need them to.

Although he was suspect of attempts to define its physical structure as a pathway toward understanding its true nature, he was, as evidenced by the calculations in the Figure, very much aware of the gene’s information carrying potential. Note that his observations were made a decade before Watson and Crick would discover the double helix or Eckert and Mauchly would invent the programable computer.
The common thread that differentiates non-existence from existence is molecular structures that contain DNA, such as chromatin. This was proven conclusively in 1952 by Hershey and Chase (Watson 1980) and strongly suggests the information carrier of the gene, must contain the information needed to create and sustain life, which is a superset of intelligent existence.

To develop a practical platform, it was necessary to architect the full life cycle design with consideration for commercial use and real-time performance. As that design was refined, made more practical and more complete, it began to substantially resemble designs in biology.
Assuming a continued increase in correlation between the architectures of biology and Stored Purpose (SP), it will likely be possible to use the SP existence model (Ema) and Multilevel intelligent cellular (Mica) architectures to gain a more complete and ultimately predictive understanding of genetic logical data.
The goal of this paper is to introduce a new approach to the study of genetics. We will describe life and machines as variants of the fundamental design used to develop machine intelligence and then explore use of man-made existence models as a path to explain nature at a new logical level.
Note, this paper is provided only to illustrate possibilities. Stored Purpose architecture will evolve rapidly in coming years as will any predictions based upon its design.

Genetic software, unlike procedural programs, defines the shape and nature of the Goals of an entity. Such systems, rather than run their software, align measured and predicted states in local contexts with platonic descriptions of goal states, as the entity traverses context. While this radical new approach to systems design may at first seem complex, it is something we may all have intimate familiarity with, as it is highly analogous to the bio-genetic information processing in our every cell.

Do we now have a path to determine the detailed information in chromosomes? Will the genetic design of man-made intelligent systems help uncover design details of biology?

Article #1, Thought Experiment: Thomas Edison receives a broken iPod We explore two levels of discovery into an unknown, complex information based system, first Edison’s team operating “blind” and later “sighted” with the aid of a computer manual.
Article #2, Genetic Software How do you put intelligence in cloud infrastructure? It's all about the "software".
Article #3, Understanding Logic Design in Genetics, Ten (10) Predictions
Is nature subject to the same constraints as man when designing intelligent systems? In this paper, we assume the answer is "Yes"and use our knowledge of Ema to make ten (10) preliminary predictions about the nature of genetics.
Article #4, Predicting the Nature of Genetics, a Deeper Dive
As a continuation of Article #3, we explore our preliminary predictions in greater detail citing recent studies.

2. future technology will work primarily without measurable communication, people will rarely touch or directly manipulate devices
3. the agent-human interface will be based primarily on a type of human-agent telepathy, called semantic communication, radically changing the types of products you might buy from companies like General Electric
4. like the singularity, the new science's contextual coincident motion and prompting gestures will share little resemblance with today's user interfaces, thus going beyond the innovative technology vision of notables such as Ray Kurzwell and Jeff Hawkins
5. humans will gain the ability to join and surf consciousness with machine minds by simply "jacking-in", giving humans by proxy, an ability to see into their own minds, and when allowed, the minds of others
6. knowledge of the existence model (Ema) process of goal pursuit, in which Purpose is exercised by way of technology, will greatly clarify the fundamental understanding of "user interface" and promote it to a science
7. intelligent mechatronics designers will face a major interface challenge in protecting balance, i.e. ensuring tools with machine minds enhance rather than diminish the biological technical capacity of humans and ecosystems]]> wJones CompanyFeatured2010-06-28T12:12:29-04:00http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/TheDictionary.html#unique-entry-id-58http://www.wjones.com/Content/files/TheDictionary.html#unique-entry-id-58 Access the Dictionary here ...
Since much of our work was in the area of intelligence and synthetic minds, when considering terms to best describe the results, we first attempted to use terms from neuroscience. That didn’t work. We wanted the terms to communicate meaning, and unfortunately few (including the members of our team) understood the meaning of words like dendron and axon.

Franchises have replaced most neighborhood based “mom and pop” shops knowledgeable of both customers and products. Remote manufacturing and operationally efficient distribution companies have replaced community based artisans and manufacturers. Intelligent Automation offers a path for a return of the artisan and the small retailer, as smart tools will enable even the smallest business to participate in a new model of coopetition as they become both customers and suppliers to the competition.

Kennedy declared automation “as the major domestic challenge of the Sixties -- to maintain full employment at a time when automation, of course, is replacing men.”
Nearly fifty years later, a typical American worker made no product of labor. He shopped in malls and markets where except for groceries, medicines, financial services and easily copyable media, the goods he or she consumed were made in another country and often bought with money borrowed from the savings of citizens in another country.

Intelligence is defined as system that sustains a logical definition of “right” and “wrong” states called Identity, and uses some motive force to process measured regions of context beyond Self with respect to those states, minimally able to use some technology to gather measured states and some technology to align measured states of Self with Identity. For example, a very simple intelligent system’s Identity could define salty water as good, and warm water as good. It could understand some region of context in the Pacific ocean by using its bio technology to measure states of saltiness and warmth and its alignment or lack there of with preferred states. The system would finally use technology such as swimming feet, to re-align its Self with Identity when necessary.
The technology has six parts:
1. Stored purpose computer - The overall intelligent system architecture, a Gia based system compatible with commercial electronics
2. Platonic Forms (Forms) - A symbolic analog of the shape and causality that can define Knowledge, Goals, Purpose or Identity
3. General intelligence algorithm (Gia) - A computable representation of the facets of intelligent existence
4. Agent - An entity created when Identity and Gia computational resources are instantiated in a logical body
5. Symbolic network - The logical body of a multi-agent system
6. Metacomputer fabric - The physical body of a multi-agent system.

The processes act on a system’s Identity which is defined when an intelligent system is first instantiated. Identity is the “contextual space” covered by Intelligence. That space is divided into regions called Purpose. A Purpose could be, “Maintain the Grounds of Ashtin Hospital.” An intelligent entity could have multiple Purposes. Each Purpose is further divided into symbolic regions called Goals.
A Goal is a self directed graph that defines right and wrong for a region of Self. Goal Pursuit is the use of technology to re-align measured or predicted states with Self, i.e. right, when they are measured or predicted to be wrong.
For example, a lawn maintenance bot might store a Goal related to the height of lawn grass it is responsible for maintaining. The Goal would define right and wrong states of grass height, which could be between three (3) and six (6) inches.
Each Goal is saved in the basic information structure of Gia, called a Platonic Form, which stores, in an extremely brief format, a symbolic analog of the context, shape and causality of the Goal. The Goal Form also stores linkages to technology that allow a system to determine the state of it’s world relative to Self (i.e. sensors to detect if the grass is at the right height) and technology to realign Self with Identity when measured or planned states don’t align (i.e. if the grass is too high, a route from high grass to low grass, “./mower/grass/cut”).
Multiple Goal Forms can be combined to form a Purpose such as “Maintain Grounds.” The Purposes and Technology available to a system define its Identity. Within a system, Identities can be loaded and run in logical entities called Agents.

Composing the Forms of Identity to a type of memory, called Plan,
Prioritizing, optimizing and propagating Plan throughout the metacomputer,
Acting and Sensing by way of contextual linkages between Plan and physical metacomputer Instruments at time Now/Reality,
Pursuing Goals to align Reality with Self,
Processing an Understanding of how each thing affects Plan, and
Learning from processing the coincidence of symbols measured but not in Plan.

Intelligent systems were designed to assist and extend people in the workplace, not replace them. People and agents working together will make it cost effective for hometown factories to make elegant, long lasting, state of the art products, for pilots to fly planes faster and more safely and for cars to navigate through traffic more quickly using less fuel. People and agents together will more frequently align with higher value Purpose and better meet responsibilities at work and at home.
There will also be a second type of intelligent system, different from R2D2 and people, both of which share a simple exoskeleton design in which the brain travels with the body around a center of gravity. The new type of system will support multiple agent minds in a body, and span multiple Instrument device types linked by communications to form a virtual body. This type of system will be called a metacomputer.

The Gia algorithm offers an extremely efficient logic implementation. That logic will be made ever more efficient as increasing numbers of systems are developed over the next decade.

For large solutions, such as monitoring national health emergency status, CPU-GPU processor technologies would need to be better integrated.

First, an understanding that any investment must be for the long term and the first systems will be necessarily simple. Over time (that will measure in decades) intelligent products and processes will become increasingly capable.
Second, there are also risks: regulatory, technical and market related, that could delay any planned product introduction.
The key regulatory risk is that regulatory debate will start after first products are ready for market, despite efforts to engage government early.
The key technical risk is that regulatory requirements could add late technical requirements.
The key market risk is that important aspects of the technology’s design that will make solutions safe, secure, protective of privacy and assistive in nature, rather than a replacement for human labor, would not be adequately communicated to the public.

This is because unlike legacy stored-program systems, that execute program logic with no understanding of consequence, each action performed by an intelligent computer must align with its Identity, a definition of “right” and “wrong” defined by the system’s authority (o.patron). Also, systems will have additional high priority “curtailment” Purpose that explicitly defines Goals for safety (o.protect) and legal authority (o.legal).
That said, Stored purpose systems will eventually process very complex Purpose, consisting of thousands or millions of Goals. They will also be able to learn, if granted the requisite degrees of freedom. To validate the decision processes of these complex systems, new technologies will have to be developed over the next two years to test and monitor processing. As stored purpose starts to displace stored program systems, software engineers will need to retrain, learning new types of processing logic, that will include curtailment, prioritization, valuation and mediation. They will need to convert from “programming” explicit instructions to “balancing” Goals and Purpose and “mediating” intent among agents. Civil infrastructure will need to be upgraded to enable police to validate Purpose of mobile intelligent systems. Transportation infrastructure will need to be upgraded to enable bots to refuel, recharge and travel as cargo.

Alan Turing defined binary program logic in 1936 in a thought experiment and designed the Automatic Computing Engine ten years later. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly designed and built the first working stored-program systems, ENIAC and EDVAC between ’43 and ’46. John von Neumann documented and structured Eckert and Mauchly’s work³ in his 1945 First Draft Report on the EDVAC computer. His draft quickly became known as the von Neumann Architecture.
