The New User Interface: Human - Machine Mind
1. agents will be better than humans at controlling traditional automation technology
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

Automation Appliance Design
Filed in: Automation Appliance | Research
Objects are the physical and data elements of the metacomputer and may include items such as: display instrument devices, lighting controllers, legacy stored program software and documents.
Symbols are the knowledge of the system and may include items such as: the Platonic Forms of a door or “Greek” yogurt, or a Purpose to maintain hospital lawn.
Logic is the algorithmic processing of the system and includes functions such as: processes of the General intelligence algorithm (Gia), the Synthetic File System (SFS) and curtailment.

Automation Appliance Platform
Filed in: Automation Appliance | Research
Kernels
Kernels are minimal enablers that make it possible for the Operating System to run on each Instrument type. They provide an interface between logic and the underlying technology. Kernels must be very small and reliable.
Metacomputing OS
Currently, the Automation Appliance reference platform has no distinct operating system. Development requires a build of kernels, communications primitives, memory propagation, core agent templates, core knowledge, core technology and base instrument services.

As each customer arrives in the store, they approach a registration kiosk and touch their personal mobile communicator and form of payment to a grey check-in display. This enables them to use their mobile device as a “shopping disk” for the length of stay. If they don’t have a communicator, they can pickup an in-store disk that looks like a small calculator.

What is machine intelligence?
Filed in: Questions and Answers | Featured
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.

How does an intelligent system work?
Filed in: Questions and Answers | Featured
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.

Will the roles of intelligent systems be similar to those held today by people, or primarily service oriented?
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.

Statement on Labor and Automation
Filed in: Statements | Research
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.

What is an Intelligent Computer and What Do We Do?
Back in 1950, Alan Turing, the inventor of computer program logic, predicted that by the year 2000, people would build intelligent machines … computers able to think like people.
Before machines could be made intelligent, many inventions were required ...
