Metaphysics - LeFreq/Singularity GitHub Wiki

Metaphysics is about the structure of our world. In this project, it is employed as one of the ways computers get used, in particular, as a way to structure and understand the world, databases, for example. A database engineer must understand how knowledge is deconstructed into data, while the architect may use the data to construct new understandings.

Functions, as an example, are a way to architect new ways to structure knowledge we have for ordering computation.

A database, for example, is structuring ontologies of how we relate to the world. This is called scope. Scope is what allows us to see further into our data sources, so that we can get new wisdom in which to build even greater ontologies, much like a lens.

Scope allows you to "dial in" the right settings of inspection, field-of-view, and intersect and join these into greater data understandings. Simgularity allows you to do this by enforcing a UnifiedDataModel which incorporates a unified object language across the whole global platform. What this means is that no one has to learn your personal language for your objects, there are no domain-specific APIs, only an epistemology of data that everyone syncs into so that we're all speaking the same language. It's much like the Unix shell, but much more highly refined by greater understandings of knowledge and metaphysics itself.

One could call this "discovery". -- it also includes the idea of exploration of new ideas -- using the computer to explore new frontiers of thought by its abilities. For example, what happens when you add up all the prime numbers, does it ever generate another prime? The computer can explore territories that no person knows how to hold. This is why it's another quadrant of computation.
