files - LeFreq/Singularity GitHub Wiki
Files made in the system are named with 4/5? dimensions, a file-name, followed by 3/4? categories going in order of least to most general, separated by ".".
Tables of databases can be sorted (thanks to YHVH) in a similar fashion. Each table is placed in the ontology as described above and linked to other tables through encapsulation -- not the OOP sense, but by using the object name inside a field.
Q: Are databases generating ontologies?
A: No, but DBAs are generating tables based on the 4 parts that are also used in this project: places, people, things (inventories), and events. Each of these 4 is a different ontology with a different ordering and view through the data. Tables come together where there is a juxtaposition of two of these that is a simulation of sorts of physical reality. (But one could conceive of 3d tables or 4d tables combining all four of these things together. Whether this is interesting or not for DBAs is unknown.)
Q: Once users make an ontology of files, with their own node name, should the network be able to view all these files together, sorted in their ontology, so that a person can "search" the network for biology.botany.dandelion and find all files categorized as such?
A: Yes. It's not invasive if the people are doing the searching and the node doing the search is known ("Node PERCY viewed your file biology.botany.dandelion." OR "Your file _ was viewed by. Files get ranked in the ontology by votes. These votes affect prominence in the GlassBeadGame knowledge-base. In this way, a decentralized wikipedia is made.
there are 3 special area:
- Incoming: for stuff that has been sent to you.
- Outgoing: for stuff you send out, but is waiting for network availability
- workspace: random holding area.
