Dear Adam:

 

In response to your note  [278]. 

 

I regard myself as part of a knowledge science community.  My work is exposed fairly completely in the in-line book Foundations for Knowledge Science

 

The fundamental assumption that my community makes is that computer science mainstream has HELPED lead us down a path where the responsibility of the human to work effort is reduced or is focused on specific role playing within well structured lines of business. 

 

The underlying assumptions made as part of building this road are merely assumptions about the inability of society to evolve towards something that has an intelligent design. 

 

Computer science could not have done this without a memetic alignment with Human-centric Information Production (HIP) is the new paradigm, and it is being supported more and more by a new generation of computer scientists who saw personally that part of strong AI paradigm that we judge to be incorrect.  [196]

 

The theory behind the General Information Framework is one that becomes based in natural science, over time. 

 

The National Project we have proposed would create a K-12 school curriculum that would prepare students, here in the US and around the world, to understand the types of technologies that are in the Framework.   The theory is a gift.  The beginning curriculum is here. 

 

The “GIFT” acronym does fit precisely the branding that we are attempting to make. 

 

The theory is something to be given to computer science from the natural science community. 

 

John Sowa and many others are making a argument in regards to the limitations of the RDF based representation of human knowledge.  This is a judgment based on objective science.

 

The principle of “eventChemistry” (eC) are laid out quite clearly in many places including as indexed from the URL ,

 

But more importantly eC is based on the work done in the Former Soviet Union on the function/structure phenomenon involved in chemistry and in event analysis. 

 

At various placing in huge research literatures, in the natural sciences, the relationship between the processes that occur in the electromagnetic spectrum supporting human thought process, and the possible computing paradigm is discussed.    Specifically look at the third section in :

During a course taught by Pribram at Georgetown University (Spring, 1999), he described a series of three sets of Fourier - Inverse Fourier transforms of the optic flow.

The three transforms work like this

The process starts with an inverse Fourier at the retina lens. Here the scattered light of the environment is focused into a retinal process that builds an energy manifold through the action of what is modeled with a forward Fourier transform. The physical processes in the brain are not as simple as the Fourier transform that is involved in the development of a hologram with glass lens.  The retinal process is a metabolic process that has complex protein conformational reaction circuits. Note that quantum mechanical processes are involved in the absorption of protons by redopsin molecules, in the retina, and that this single class of events must be the gateway events in the metabolic circuits that produce a single distributed manifold and coherent awareness.  The redopsin molecules have two metastable states, a high-energy and low-energy state.  The high-energy state contributes to a field potential and when sufficient molecules have been pushed into this field potential then the field itself can be taken up by innervating dendrites projecting from the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus.

The resulting energy manifold is sampled by the axonal dendrites of the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN).  The LGN is half way between the eyes and the visual cortex.  The neurons of the LGN provide a sequence of non-linear processing in rout to a re-spreading of energy/information into the layers of the cortex. This spread is the second Fourier transform and becomes linear as the information, including timing information, is encoded in the frequency spectrum. The reason why it is a Fourier is due to the underlying physics of lens and the species (Darwinian) need for effortless data fusion.  In the linear spectral domain data fusion is merely concurrence of energy fields. The process control mechanisms merely need to push the two energy fields together. Nature finds an exceedingly simply solution to the difficult problem of data fusion.

The third linear transform produces object consistencies that we perceive as objects in the world. This third transform occurs over a period of time and involves movement in space-time. The author interprets the neuropsychology to mean that the third transform acquires code from metabolic processes occurring in the limbic system and in the association cortex and spreads this code across many brain regions.
