A.L.I.C.E. is also used by potentially some millions of children worldwide in relation with the foundational learning environment of our Web Operating System (WOS) Sugarfox.

We prefer the variants Program Q and libaiml (C++), Program Y (Python), and Program Z (Lisp). The variants CyN (Program N with OpenCyc) and Program W (Program D (Java) with WordNet) can be implemented easily, because OpenCyc and WordNet are already used with our OS.

In fact, we wanted to do this step since around 9 years, but have held back the links for not interfering with our OntoBot and our own markup languages, such as the NLP2OWL and the NIP2OWL, which are part of our original and unique Bridge from Natural Intelligence to Artificial Intelligence, and for not confusing interested entities, and in addition, we already have linked dialog systems in the the section Natural Language Processing with the Galaxy Communicator and the AGENDA, RavenClaw/Olympus applications, which include Natural Language Processing (NLP) chatbots, telephone based call center services, conversational agent systems, and other NLP based systems.
But in the last weeks we thought it would be a good idea to make this addition, because on the one hand we can support interested entities in this way, that cannot wait anymore or want to get in touch with the technology of NLP chat(ter)bot, and on the other hand the development of A.L.I.C.E. seemed to have ended in the year 2013 or even earlier.

Please keep in mind that our OntoBot software component works in a very different way and is only comparable with a chatbot in relation with some few features. But it will be compatible with the AIML directly by an import function for AIML or indirectly by a conversion function that converts AIML to NLP2OWL for example.

Now our fans and readers can see once again, how very well thought our OS truly is, and why we absolutely rightfully say:
This is a serious copyright warning.

Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge Management

In the field of NLP software agents, it declared chatbots as the applications of the future and language or speech as the new user interface. A quick look on for example the webpage Ontologic Applications and the chatbot projects linked in the section Natural Language Processing of the webpage Links to Software of the website of OntoLinux expose that statement as wrong and pure marketing.
Eventually, Microsoft has already infringed the copyright in relation with the original and unique OS series of C.S..

© Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (ARD) respectively WestDeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) and the people of the B.R.D.

But the substantially similar combination and integration of the composition's single elements as an act of getting a similar result respectively copying essential, original and unique part of the OS concept and in this way of copying the original expression of C.S., is not protected by the clause of fair use anymore and hence not legal.
One specific evidence of this illegal activity can be seen with the point AI and the emphasizing of the terms "Vision[,] Language[,] Reasoning[, and] Planning" (see the yellow circle in the image again), which copies our original and unique OntoBot software component. In this relation it is useful to remember that logic is seen as a sub- division of philosophy on the one hand and on the other and as the study of reasoning, and that planning is included in quality management systems and in software (multi) agent systems. In this context, see also the Clarification of the 31st of March 2016, which is about another aspect in relation with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Natural Image Processing (NIP), and NLP chatbot.
Another specific evidence of this illegal activity can be seen in the image with the point VR/AR and the emphasizing of the terms "Mobile VR[,] Social VR[,] AR Tech[,] Rift [Virtual Reality Head-Mounted Display, and] Touch", which copies our original and unique interpretation of the reality-virtuality-continuum and the related mode transitions, which again are the basis for our Mixed Reality Environment, including Real(ity) Environment (RE), Augmented Reality Environment (ARE), and Virtual Reality Environment (VRE), and also our original and unique OntoScope software component and Ontoscope hardware devices. In this context, see also for example the Clarification of today, which is about the Ontoverse and the accompanying concepts and technologies, such as the OntoScope software component and its Collaborative Virtual Environment (CoVE) with its Mixed Reality (MR), that comprises reality (desktop mode), augmented reality (augmented mode), and virtual reality (full immersion mode), and includes mobile Virtual Reality (mobile VR) and social Virtual Reality (social VR) environments.
A further specific evidence is the combination of the MR parts AR/VR and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which reflects again an essential part, but now on a higher level of the OS as described for example on the webpages Overview and Components.

In this conjunction, we also refer once again to Judge Birss and the case Temple Island Collection vs. New English Teas (see the Comment of the Day and also the Pictures of the Day of the 25th of July 2013 and the comment), which is a good starting point for persons interested in the copyright law and for copycats interested in the stealing of copyrighted works.
Furthermore, after we did it with other companies before, we substitute this time image with Ontologic System or operating system, Mr. Houghton and New English Teas with Facebook, claimant and Mr. Fielder with C.S., and work with OntoLix respectively OntoLinux:
"The whole point of this case is that Facebook wish lawfully to produce an Ontologic System which does bear some resemblance to C.S.' OntoLinux. The inference that I draw is that Facebook sought out this other material after it had decided to produce an Ontologic System similar to the C.S'. It found examples of common elements and also bought (defrauding) companies in various different places. That does not avoid a causal link. If Facebook had seen C.S.' Ontologic System OntoLinux, decided it wanted to use a similar one, found some Ontologic Systems and took one of those for its composition of hardware and software technologies with Facebook services, there would be no question of infringement." The same could be said by taking only the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Mixed Reality (MR; includes Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)) technologies instead of an Ontologic System, because the similarities between OntoLinux and Facebook's composition of AI and MR or being more precise AR/VR technologies taken alone are already enough. In the original lawsuit the court has reiterated the established legal standard that copyright infringement does not require literal identical copying of every detail and that small changes here and there are unavailing. Even the opposite direction holds as well, because a quantitatively small amount of copying can be an infringement, if it copies a qualitatively important part of the original work.

Important to note in this relation is also, that for example a criminal journalist of the public-law broadcaster Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (ARD) respectively of its affiliate public-law broadcaster WestDeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in the B.R.D., who is not a person with ordinary skill in the art by the way, has already reported about this composition, and its integration and application by giving the explanation that "Facebook will das Betriebssystem für Kommunikation im Netz werden.==Facebook wants to become the operating system for communication in the net.", which proves in particular that the act of copying is not transformative, because it does not and even should not supersede the objects of the original creation and expression of C.S., and in general our claims. Also important to note is the fact that we have taken the image shown above from his report.
Eventually, Facebook is short before infringing or potentially has already infringed the copyright in relation with the OS series of C.S..

In addition, Mark Zuckerberg is short before getting an action at the courts if he does not stop to imitate C.S. and to copy said works of art in parts or as a whole to express himself, which by the way is another proof for the copyright infringement of his company Facebook. The same holds for other entities that act in the same criminal ways.

OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
By a lucky happenstance we found out that a possibility exists to handle a highly complex problem in a less complex way, which opens further opportunities for optimizations. This might be an important improvement.

We also got significant support from various sides in relation with an important core service and some components. The precision with which everything fits together with each other makes looking at this masterpiece a pure joy again and again.

Furthermore, we reviewed the learning process of our OntoBot software component once again and got a confirmation for our first estimation of the velocity of its basic variant that also says it is up to 2 magnitudes faster than common approaches, indeed.
For sure, all the other significant improvements providing the same or similar acceleration rates have to be considered as well, when estimating the overall processing speed.

Moreover, we worked a little on a special version and the next generation of our OS architecture based on it, and honestly, this generation is totally crazy and already goes so far beyond the intellectual capabilities of every expert in this field, that we do not know what we should do with such a flat out system. It is really fast.

Ontologics.info Website update
As announced yesterday and planned since around 9 years, we have added to the section Linguistics and Common-Sense of the website of Ontologics.info the markup language:

While we were already updating the website, we also added to the section Logics, Metadata, and Ontology the markup languages of our Bridge from Natural Intelligence to Artificial Intelligence:

Btw.: We have made the little joke to hide AIML as the acronym of the Astronomical Instrument Markup Language.

Clarification

*** Work in progress - The point about reality is not explained in the correct way, because the OS is both reality and virtuality. In addition, the mention of the field of Synthetic Reality (SR) integrated in our OS is also missing. The chapters result and conclusion are not ready. ***

Because some well known entities refuse to accept the facts related with the copyright protection of the original and unique multimedia works of art created by C.S., specifically our Ontologic System (OS) architecture used for OntoLix, OntoLinux, and other variants, we would like to discuss the foundations behind our Ontoverse in a little more detail, like we did before in relation with our proactive intelligent personal assistant (see for example the Clarification of the 4th of May 2013), the Bridge from Natural Intelligence to Artificial Intelligence (see for example the Clarification of the 31st of March 2016), and some foundational elements of the Ontoverse, specifically the interpretation of the reality-virtuality-continuum and its mode transitions respectively changes of context specifics, and the related OntoScope software component and its Collaborative Virtual Environment (CoVE) (see the Clarification and the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge Management of the 13th of April 2016), by comparing the "Ontologic System" and its Ontoverse with the following exemplary works of art and their main concepts and systems:

Other influential works are mentioned and shortly discussed on the webpage Terms of the 21st Century of the OntoLinux website.

In this way, we also draw a line between these works and the work of C.S., and show that the work of C.S. is indeed an original and unique work.

At first, we give a short summary about the essential concepts of each work explicitly named above, which are relevant for the comparison and the other steps, and the raised questions and the given motivations, that eventually led to the creation of the Ontologic System.

Tron
The Grid in the film "Tron" is a software world or cyberspace running on a mainframe computer, which is a totalitarian dictatorship, where running computer programs or software agents are some kind of living entities or avatars, that lool like their human users, who created them. One special program is the security program respectively software agent for security tasks called Tron and another special software agent is the so-called Master Control Program (MCP), which has artificial intelligence and rules the Grid. The MCP uses an experimental laser outside the computer in the real world to digitize the protagonist, who is such a human user, or being more precisely, a computer programmer, into a user computer program or software agent, and downloads him into the Grid. Later, the protagonist is sent back to the real world and quickly reconstructed at his terminal.
Furthermore, the protagonist learns that he can manipulate energy and matter inside the Grid as a user computer program effectively allowing him to influence the environment and reality of the realm.

Neuromancer
The Matrix in the novel "Neuromancer" is a global computer network or a virtual reality dataspace constituting the cyberspace. The Matrix is described as a place where "data dance with human consciousness ... human memory is literalized and mechanized ... multi-national information systems mutate and breed into startling new structures whose beauty and complexity are unimaginable, mystical, and above all nonhuman."
The central nervous system of the protagonist was damaged with a mycotoxin, leaving him unable to access the Matrix. The term mycotoxin is usually reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi, that readily colonize crops.

It was only through its use in "Neuromancer" that the term cyberspace gained enough recognition to become the de facto term for the World Wide Web (WWW) during the 1990s. The portion of "Neuromancer" that describes the cyberspace is quoted in the following:
"The matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games.
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts .... A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding."
A critic even suggests that Gibson's vision of cyberspace may have inspired the way in which the Internet developed particularly the WWW, after the publication of Neuromancer in 1984. He asks "[w]hat if the act of writing it down, in fact, brought it about?"
The Matrix has been interpreted later as a system similar to the Metaverse in the novel "Snow Crash" and the 3D web for example.

In "Neuromancer" some more other techologies are described, which are the saving of a human consciousness on a Read-Only Memory (ROM) module and the downloading respectively uploading of a human consciousness into a cyberspace construct of the Matrix, SuperArtificial Intelligence (SuperAI), and cyborgs.

Wintermute, a powerful artificial intelligence is one-half of a SuperAI entity, its exact purpose is unknown. The other half is Neuromancer, which has as most notable feature in the story the ability to copy minds and run them as Random Access Memory (RAM) allowing the stored personalities to grow and develop in contrast to make minds persistent or save them on a ROM. Wintermute and Neuromancer are housed in different mainframe computers operated at distant places.
The Turing Law Code governing AIs bans the construction of such SuperAI entities. To get around this law, it had to be built as two separate AIs. The job of the Turing Police is to prevent AIs from exceeding their built-in limitations.
Wintermute was programmed with a need to merge with its other half, Neuromancer. In contrast, Neuromancer has no desire to merge with its sibling AI, because it already has its own stable personality and believes such a fusion will destroy that identity. Because Wintermute is unable to achieve this merger on its own, it recruited the protagonists to help complete the goal. Wintermute unites with Neuromancer fusing into a superconsciousness described as becoming "the sum total of the works, the whole show".

One protagonist is able to project detailed holographic illusions with the aid of sophisticated cybernetic implants.
Another protagonist is a cyborg with a metabolism, a sensory input, and reflexes that are artificially heightened by augmentations or means of electronic implants and other advanced medical procedures. The cyborg has razor-sharp retractable blades underneath the fingernails and the eye sockets are sealed with vision-enhancing lenses, which are appearing at first glance to be mirrored sunglasses.

Snow Crash
A summary of the features of the Metaverse in the novel "Snow Crash" and an explanation of the difference between the Metaverse and our Ontoverse have been given in the Clarification of the 2nd of June 2012, which was taken in parts for the paragraph Snow Crash and the Metaverse of the webpage Overview of the website of OntoLinux (see the OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of the 9th of August 2013).
The original Metaverse and its copy is also discussed in the Investigations::Multimedia of today.

In the context of this clarification it should be noted as well that one of the main concepts in "Snow Crash" is a biolinguistic virus, or being more precise, a neuro-linguistic virus, that infects humanity by using the Sumerian language as the firmware programming language for the brainstem, which is supposedly functioning as the Built-In Operating System (BIOS) for the human brain.

Open your Eyes and Vanilla Sky
In the films "Open your Eyes" and "Vanilla Sky" a company, that is specialized in the field of life extension and correspondingly also called Life Extension, uses the technology of cryonic suspension to freeze people just after the point of death until a cure for their ailment is available in the future. While frozen, their brains are kept active by placing them in a lucid dream state respectively by letting them process information in such a way that a lifelike virtual reality or simulated reality dream is running. The protagonist is able to control the virtual reality dream or simulated world and everyone in it in general, and realizes that he is in his own lucid dream, which has gone wrong, in particular.

Summary of prior art
In all discussed works we have a

which is[/are] either based on a

• whole user (Grid) or
• human consciousness only (Matrix and Metaverse, and Life Extension),

• is able to process information in the same way the machine processes the data to simulate the reality that constitute the virtual reality (Matrix and Metaverse, and also Grid), or
• again creates a lucid or virtual reality dream (Life Extension),

We also have AI and SuperAI technology, and cyborg technology such as cybernetic augmentation or extension.

All sources of inspiration for the creation of "Ontologic System" cannot be listed, but in relation with the explicitly recited works we have the following facts:

With the exception of rudimentary digitizing or scanning systems and relatively simple AI systems, such electro- and biotechnologies either were pure science fiction at the time when "Ontologic System" was created, or still are pure science fiction.

Ontologic System
All the discussed works motivated the creation of something in this direction, which raised the questions

• digitizing or scanning system,
• mode transition respectively change of context specifics
  • by up- and downloading system,
  • without a direct altering of the human brain respectively consciousness,
  • with a direct altering of the human brain respectively consciousness,
• augementation or extension of the human body, and
• (Super)AI,

• further possibilities and
• implications,

which leads us to the different and essential

that establish the originality and uniqueness of the multimedia work of art series titled "Ontologic System" with the Ontologic System (OS) and the Ontoverse.

Themes
Some of the main themes and questions in relation with the "Ontologic System" in general, and with the Ontoverse in particular are

but also

as well as

A special point is the transition between reality and virtuality. Indeed, the concept of a mixed reality already existed, but it lacked the

• transition along the mixed reality modes and
• functionality of the devices,

Approaches
As an answer to all these questions as well as to further questions, C.S. has envisioned his general approach based on the application of the

• mathematics and logics,
• ontonics, which is about the adaption of insights developed by the human nature, specifically in relation with the fields of philosophy and its subfield of ontology, but also the reflected
• bionics or biomimetics, which is about the adaption of solutions developed by the nature for the use in technologies, and some of its results (e.g. Softbionics, including AI, Swarm Intelligence (SI), Evolutionary Computing (EC), etc.), and
• cosmogeny and astronomy, specifically in relation with observation of stars,

• perception by the human senses
  • seeing,
  • hearing,
  • tasting
  • smelling, and
  • touching
  is believing, and
• stars don't lie as the foundation for Pure Rationality

for the creation of some kind of a belief system that correspondingly and logically has been named "Ontologic System".

Another general approach can be described with the processes

of such elements that make the belief system or "Ontologic System" as much as possible

and in this way

The aspect of realism is comparable to the photorealism and hyperrealism, but here the painting or sculpture is a multimedia system, which is a distinct departure from the older and considerably more literal school of the named arts directions. But this is only a single aspect that does not explain the whole work at all.
In addition, artificial or virtual items are not excluded in general, but they have to be believable and convincing as well somehow.

The implications of these general requirements for the belief system or "Ontologic System" result in more special requirements such as the:

• lucid dream,
• simulation of reality, and
• reproduction of a record of a real event,

• Bridge between Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence.
• Natural Life (NL) and Artificial Life (AL).

Composition
Crucial for reaching the goals of the designed belief system respec- tively for creating the "Ontologic System", and also for realizing our OS and Ontoverse is the composition of real elements, including terms, techniques, and technologies following the general and special requirements discussed above. The result of the composition process includes:

  • distributed computing
  • and so on,
• softbionics,

    • weak or emergent Artificial Intelligence (AI 2), and
    • hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI 3),

  • MR Environment (MRE),
• HOLOgraphic Medical Electronic Representation or HOLOgraphic MEdical Record (Holomer),
• etc.

to name just some few of the selected items.

Integration
The composition has been artfully made, so that the integration of the selected items is more a consequence of the former step than an additional step of the creation process.
This work technique also supports the general requirements, because if an activity and its result look very easy and elegant, then a user

which can even result in a situation that the user thinks she or he has done it all alone by her- or himself.
Eventually, the user is in the Ontoverse.

Compaction
Indeed, there exist a plenty of prior art that already integrate single technologies, such as for example:

• Natural Language Processing (NLP) system,
• infrastructures for complex and intelligent application and information system,
• declarative specification platform for software agent,
• communication for software agent,
• supervision tool box and integrated control tool boxes in a holonic Multi-Agent System (MAS),

But missing were a vast amount of integrations comprising all possible combinations of single systems exclusive the known integrations, which led to an all-encompassing system approach in the end.
The compaction reduces, unifies, refines, and harmonizes the composition and integration to such an all-encompassing or even holonic system, that

• coherent,
• optimized,
• simple to handle, and
• more attractive,

Results
The work technique described as a sequence of processes, including composition, integration, and compaction, led to the

• Caliber/Calibre,
• ontologic l,
• ontology-based operating system, ontology-oriented operating system, and ontologic operating system (see OntoLix and OntoLinux),
• ontologic components, specifically the
  • OntoBot and
  • OntoScope,
  and
• ontologic applications,

• network operated by it,

• reality (desktop ) over
• augmented reality (augmented mode) to
• virtual reality (full immersion)

with

• totally different and even seamless mode transitions from one mode to the other respectively changes of context specifics along the reality-virtuality-continuum, that is still based on real elements and uses,

• operating system,
• components, and
• applications,

• itself,
• the user, and
• the reflection of the user,

and constitutes or comprises the

• Ontologic System (OS),
• AL entity,
• AI entity, and
• Mixed Reality Environment (MRE),

are also their own creator and user, and in this way constitute a reflective/fractal/holonic or simply said a holon,

which has funny descriptions like

and became the Ontologic System, so to say the successor of computer operating systems, the WWW, and even of cyberspace,

To the way of (self-)expression of C.S. also belong the

which can also be seen by the fact that they even emerged in parts while creating "OS".

Conclusion
Obviously, the "Ontologic System"

• quantity and
• quality,

• original,
• different, and
• unique

idea on the same level as the recited works of arts.

Virtually the same that was said about the "Matrix" and the cyberspace in "Neuromancer", already holds for the Ontologic System (OS) and the Ontoverse in "Ontologic System" (see again the named clarifications and investigations on the OntomaX website, and the named webpages of the OntoLinux website). The act of writing it down, in fact, brought it about. But even with pre-announcement by C.S..

This concept and multimedia work of art is already copyrighted because:

Therefore "Ontologcis System" is qualified to be acknowledged as a work of art and to be protected by the copyright law.

Every entity that copies or steals a part of the idea or the whole idea of C.S., does this only because of the belief in it or otherwise an entity would not want it at all. Because an entity is believing in it, the evidence is furnished that this part of the original and unique work of art Ontologic System truly functions, which again proves the copyright.

What we see by all the defrauding entities is the unsuccessful attempt to argue by benefitting from and even taking the work of the multimedia artist C.S. and search for prior art, so that the Ontologic System in parts or as a whole can be constructed. But this is nothing else than the impermissible hindsight seen in relation with the examination of inventions disclosed in filed patent applications.

This description sounds different, but includes all real elements and uses.

Investigations::Multimedia

As we explained already in the Clarification of the 2nd of June 2012, the original Metaverse as described in the novel "Snow Crash" of Neal Stephenson is some kind of a successor of the internet resembling a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), and populated by user-controlled avatars as well as system daemons, which can be accessed by public terminals or private mobile devices such as portable terminals not comparable with smartphones, because the mobile cell phone was not an element of the vision of N. Stephenson at all, goggles maybe similar to VR Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs), but definitely not AR glasses or HMDs, and other equipment.

The reason why we had to delete that foundation from the webpage Organizations of the website of OntoLinux are the explanations we have found on its website, like e.g. the following ones quoted from the document Metaverse Roadmap Overview: "Metaverse [-] The Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space. [At first its copy of the original Metaverse described in the novel Snow Crash was meant in the sense of a 3D web. But then descriptions from our webpage Overview were copied, specifically the original and unique integration of our variant of the reality-virtuality-continuum, including the spectrum of "augmented, mediated, virtual, and mixed reality environments", with operating systems and database management systems, which can be seen very well and easily with the Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software component used for realizing the persistence.]", "A virtually-enabled physical world. People often think of Stephenson's metaverse as an "other" place, but for many purposes the best model for the metaverse of 2016 may be augmented reality - an information-drenched physical environment where the 3D web is just one application, run in special circumstances. [Bingo!!! Despite that it is still tried to confuse the public about the original Metaverse and that bold plagiarism of our Ontoverse, we have here the undeniable proof that indeed our variant of a reality-virtuality-continuum was meant in 2007, because finally the convicting term "[A]ugmented [R]eality" (AR) in conjunction with the "virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space" respectively the reality-virtuality-continuum concept of our Ontoverse was named explicitley, which has not been done in 2007 as part of its obfusca- tion strategy. Or said in other words, it would have been no problem at all to give such an explanation about the Metaverse copy in 2007. Quite contrary, it is absolutely uncommon that they have not used the important term "augmented teality" at that time. In this relation, we have also our specific componsition of essential elements needed for expressing the original and unique idea (see the Clarification and the cases of the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge Management of the 13th of April 2016). Exactly the same can be said in relation with the following quote.]", "All shared interaction- based online social environments are elements of the metaverse, whether a 1D text [Multi-User Dungeon (]MUD[)], a 2D chat room, a 3D persistent world, or multi-D collaboration interface. [...] [Taaa- Daaa!!! Here we have our mode transitions of our reality-virtuality- continuum concept again, and also our "interaction-based online social environments" realized by our OntoScope software compo- nent with its Collaborative Virtual Environment (CoVE) software component as the "multi-D[imensional] collaboration interface" of our multi-dimensional or n-Dimensional Operating System (nDOS), as explained several times over the last years. Needless to say, all mentioned software components are essential elements of our original and unique Ontologic System (OS) and hence copyrighted.]".
Obviously, this was a copyright infringement of the Accelerated Studies Foundation all the time, because the predecessor of the Metaverse copy respectively the Ontoverse plagiarism only com- prised technologies like the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and X3D, and a concept of a multi-participant shared virtual world online platform, like something that could be described as a prede- cessor of Second Life, which replaces the real world with a simulated one, but not a virtually enhanced physical reality in the sense of AR and Mixed Reality (MR) comprising a set of user interfaces with different dimensions and also a set of different reality environments. All these elements have been copied from the multimedia work of art series Ontologic System (OS) of C.S. and added in the year 2007 and in the following years after we started OntoLinux in the end of 2006.
In addition, we are not aware about any hardware system, such as a desktop computer, a smartphone, or a smart goggle for example, that is designed to work in such an environment with the only exception of our Ontoscope mobile devices, including handheld computing devices, goggles and glasses, wearable computers.
As another result of this investigation, we have to conclude once again that all Ontoscope and Holoscope devices of C.S. are also multimedia works of art covered and protected by the copyright.

Because we have found so many plagiarims related with our OS and its software components in the past years, we take for granted, that the OntoBot with all its essential elements and connections to the other original and unique software components and features, specifically the often referenced Bridge from Natural Intelligence to Artificial Intelligence, is also an essential, original, and unique element taken alone.

In this conjunction, the following three observations are interestingly to note:

• the interpretation of the reality-virtuality-continuum respectively Reality/AR/VR fusion as MR, and the related mode transitions or change of context specifics,
• ontologic and logic based systems, such as the OntoBot,
• the other software components, as well as
• their integration and interplay

by our OS, the same strategy to avoid a causual link between our OS and NLP chatbots has been applied. While in the case of the Reality/AR/VR fusion as MR the Accelerated Studies Foundation has stolen the needed content, in the case of the higher NLP chatbot capabilities of our OntoBot and OntoFS software components the two defrauding scientists have stolen the needed content. But it is already proven by our investigations that our OS is the source of inspiration in all cases, so that the causual links are still intact. That strategy does not work in general at all, but instead give us a vast amount of evidences for our investigations and prosecutions.

Ontonics Further steps
Over the last days, we continued the work on a specific means. Now we have a nice solution, but because of a related development we do not need this specific means anymore, though we might use it due to its elegance.

We also worked on a general problem in relation with a special realization of a technology. Eventually, we remembered an older solution, that we could adapt and apply for solving this specific problem successfully. But again we are not sure if we need this solution at all because of a related development, though it is still an interesting alternative.
When thinking further about this solution, we concluded that the interesting alternative is even much more interesting in relation with a specific variant of said technology, and consequently we developed directly a special variant of a related device. Obviously, there were again too many trees to see the forest.

Furthermore, we looked on one of the last problems with a techno- logy and developed a new variant of a device and a new variant of a related device to solve it in elegant ways.
As a consequence, we decided to start the prototyping and production phases of the different models of the devices, which provide a performance that is at least 5 times and maybe 7 times higher when compared with common alternatives.

So much about the quality and social value of swarm or crowd intelligence in particular, and the failed promisses of the internet and the Web 2.0 in general.

Nevertheless, we would like to thank all defrauding entities for prov- ing in these ways once again on the one side the ingenuity, that led to the creation of the Ontologic System (OS), but also on the other side the originality and uniqueness of our OS. That said again, also the single ideas and concepts presented as parts of or derived in parts from our OS are copyrighted, indeed and doubtlessly.

OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update
By deleting the HTML comment tags we made visible in the section Multiparadigmatic Computing of the webpage Links to Software the links:

• "Introduction to PROGRES, an Attribute Graph Grammar Based Specification Language"
• "PROGRES: A [Very High Level (]VHL[)]-Language Based on Graph Grammars[/Graph Rewriting Systems]"
• "PROGRES, A Visual Language and Environment for PROgramming with Graph REwriting Systems"
• "Rapid Programming with Graph Rewrite Rules"

We have to appologize for this little magic trick, but we wanted to test potential defrauding scientists and other criminal entities in relation with plagiarisms of our concept, which is about the inte- gration of a graph rewriting system with ontology-based, Ontology-Oriented (OO 2), and Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) systems, and of our OntoBot software component.

Graph rewriting systems have already been mentioned before in the Clarification #2 of the 10th of September 2012 and in the case of the Carnegie Mellon University and University of Washington in the Investigations::Multimedia of the 12th of May 2014, and graph grammar engineering is listed on the webpage of our OntoBlender software component. But because the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and also for example the Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) and the Extensible 3D (X3D) markup language listed on Ontologics.info are eXtensible Markup Languages (XMLs), we only need a term rewriting system for the OntoBot to fulfill all require- ments of the foundational concept (see the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps and the Ontologics.info Website update of today as well).

TaaaDaaa!!!

OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
In conjunction with the OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of today, we would like to mention that we have also developed some kind of an advanced or Multimodal Rule Markup Language (MRML), which includes for example SVG as well in an XML based Rule ML, so that graph grammars or graph rewrite rules of for example PROGRES can be presented and interchanged, and our Natural Language Processing to Web Ontology Language (NLP2OWL) and Natural Image Processing to Web Ontology Language (NIP2OWL) used as a model language and a Natural Interchange Format (NIF) can be unified.

Bad luck for e.g. the entities behind the Rule Markup Language (RuleML).
Are there any questions? No, so we can continue with the more interesting stuff.

Ontologics.info Website update
We have added to the section Logics, Metadata, and Ontology of the website of Ontologics.info our markup language:

which works together with our Natural Language Processing to Web Ontology Language (NLP2OWL) and Natural Image Processing to Web Ontology Language (NIP2OWL), and allows the reduction of the NIP2OWL to the NLP2OWL respectively the unification of both mark- up languages and all the other related markup languages, as it was designed more than 15 years ago.

We are also looking at a markup language for graphs, though we do not really need it for the foundational concept.

Please keep in mind that all of our markup languages belong to or are elements derived from the Ontologic System.

Style of Speed Further steps
Recently, we have made the next step in relation with the improve- ment of our Adaptive Versatile Affordable Advanced Highly Efficient Embedded Turbofan Engine (AVAAHEETE) of our Hypersonic Jet Fighter HJF-22SR/Super Raptor.
All components and modules of the initial version of the new jet engine model are either matured, deployed, or ground tested, so that a working prototype of the complete power plant can be constructed right away.
In addition, we made two significant optimizations by replacing one subcomponent with its latest high-technology version and by adding a new system.
One of the last major problems might be the glass canopy due to the generation of high heat load at maximal velocity, but a new recipe for the glass might be a solution.
We also developed two versions of the Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) and Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) systems, though they are a more complex and expensive than the basic Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) system.

The new frame of this version of the HJF-22SR/Super Raptor would also allow to mount a jet engine of our next generation power plant series. But this jet engine is quite a little more powerful, so that we recommend to directly go over to our HJF-1/Hyper Falcon.

While thinking about a special problem with our hypersonic jets, such as the Hypersonic Jet Fighters (HJFs) HJF-22SR/Super Raptor and HJF-1/Hyper Falcon for example, and our hypersoars we rembered that we have already developed another solution for it.

Even better, we concluded today that this solution provides some more advantages and even more insights for future developments. Somehow, we have not seen the forest immediately due to the trees. Nevertheless, fascinating.

The fun will not end in the next decades.

By the way, read the documents carefully, because the increased levels of integration result in the increased potential of confusion.

Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge management

Firtst of all, we would like to mention that the Trusty operating system is said to be based on the LK embedded kernel, also known as littlekernel or Little Kernel, but was known before as the (L)ittle (K)ernel based Android bootloader.
Furthermore, as our fans and readers as well as we do know already, Google knows that we are working on our operating system core of our Ontologic Systems (OSs) such as the mentioned microkernel OntoS1 (see the OntoDroid Further steps of the 5th of January 2016, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 21st of February 2016, and the Picture of the Day of the 3rd of March 2016 for example).
But that company does not know what we do exactly. So what we have here is the very initial step that has not many features, but as much as possible of the known features. The Trusty OS is also flexible enough to be developed in all directions and in this way to be used for continuing its copying.

As it was the case from the start of OntoLinux, there is absolutely no need for any entity to get in panic and to manipulate, copy, or do whatsoever, because we already have all what is needed to make our Ontology-Oriented Operating System, Ontologic Operating System, and Ontologic System architectures original and unique works.

We also added to the section Formal Verification the link:

In relation with this Website update of today (see also the case of the Wikipedia in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge management of the 21st of April 2016) we would like to ask the following question: Have our readers really thought that we use the basic functionalities of our automated theorem prover and our ontology classification reasoner only for verifying software?
For sure, the answer is: This is not the case, because we use our formal ontology, formal verification, and ontology-based knowledge- based system respectively ontologic system for software engineering as well.

Furthermore, in relation with the specific link to the operating sys- tem Alta added by this website update, we would like to remind interested entities that the type safety and the type system of programming languages on the one side and ontology on the other side have something in common.
Now, the little joke with the phrase "OntoLinux can be seen as the worldwide first and actually only so called softron/singularity" on the webpage Introduction should also be more understandable. If not, then we recommend to read the case of the company Google in the Investigations:: Multimedia, AI and Knowledge management of 24th of April 2016yesterday and to look for the term singularity and the hint in its last section.

"D is not a scripting language, nor an interpreted language. It doesn't come with a VM, a religion, or an overriding philosophy. It's a practical language for practical programmers who need to get the job done quickly, reliably, and leave behind maintainable, easy to understand code.", [D]

Oh, this is so very 20th century style. Obviously, it is still not under- stood what our Ontologic System with its totally generalized Multilingual Multimodal Multiparadigmatic Multimedia Programming (M⁴P) technique can do since its official start in the year 2006 and what it means when we said: We do not program anymore.
Said this, we give a short example about how the ontology-based, ontology-assisted, and ontologic natural language programming paradigm and related automatic programming environment works, which are included in C.S.' invention of the Ontology-Oriented (OO 2) and Ontologic(-Oriented; OO 3) Programming Paradigm as part of the Ontologic System, which again "integrates all in one" since its beginning, such as for example "cognitive agent systems" and "computer-aided software engineering tools" (see also the message Ontologics OntoLinux officially started publicated on the 9th of November 2006, the webpages Overview and Links to Software of the OntoLinux website, the Clarification #1and #2 of the 10th of September 2012, the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 10th of March 2013, and also the case of the company General Electrics in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge management of the 6th of May 2013 and the case of the company Wolfram Research in the Investigations::AI and Knowledge management of the 8th of February 2014):

• understand what is wanted respectively the intention,
• enrich the input with what is needed respectively the desire, and
• generate all kinds of models of all kinds of programming paradigms (see the Feature-list #5 of our OSs OntoLinux and OntoLix).
  The OntoScope and the OntoBlender software components are only used in this context of programming for
  • visualizing,
  • understanding,
  • changing, and
  • testing
    the actual data and programms, as well as for
  • programming by using clasic techniques (e.g. typing on a keyboard).

In the near future, a software developer or user even do not need to speak anymore by using some kind of an individual gesture based sign language, or by wearing a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and thinking.

We have begun the planning stage of the construction phase of at least two battery manufacturing plants in the U.S.A..
In this context we found out, that one of our battery technologies provides in another specific situation a significant higher perfor- mance than comparable batteries of other entities.

For sure, potential customers are our business units Ontoscope, iRaiment, and Style of Speed.

Furthermore, we are continuing with connecting the dots. Now, we also have a mapping service with satellite images and a cloud computing service with data storage space for our friends, fans, users, and customers so there is no need for Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Co. anymore.
Private data protection, social service, propeller hat, and batteries are always included, so there is no need for Facebook and Co. anymore.

Interestingly, the number system of mathematics (not to be confused with expressing numbers by using symbol-based numeral systems), as well as for example strange attractors and Julia sets of the mathematical field of the chaos theory have a fractal structure, which somehow is connected with

Evolving Self-Reference: Matter, Symbols, and Semantic Closure
"Abstract
A theory of emergent or open-ended evolution that is consistent with the epistemological foundations of physical theory and the logic of self-reference requires complementary descriptions of the material and symbolic aspects of events. The matter-symbol complementarity is explained in terms of the logic of self-replication, and physical distinction of laws and initial conditions. Physical laws and natural selection are complementary models of events. Physical laws describe those invariant events over which organisms have no control. Evolution by natural selection is a theory of how organisms increase their control over events. A necessary semantic closure relation is defined relating the material and symbolic aspects of organisms capable of open-ended evolution."
"[... S]elf-reference that has open-ended evolutionary potential is an autonomous closure between the dynamics (physical laws) of the material aspects and the constraints (syntactic rules) of the symbolic aspects of a physical organization. [...] this self-referent relation [is called] semantic closure [...]. Semantic closure requires complementary models of the material and symbolic aspects of the organism."
Its list of reference includes a lot of interesting works, including

Life-Like Computing Beyond the Machine Metaphor
"Introduction
[... W]e attempt here to give a short nontechnical summary [...] of a set of general ideas about computer modelling, and to present an account of an operational modelling methodology for dealing with models of life, and in particular, with models of evolving systems.
Evolvability is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of living systems. Many biologists [...] consider this to be the key to life. Evolution produces novelity; so it seems quite natural to say that one of the primary problems of the modelling of life is that of the representation of novelty.
[... I]n ordr to represent novelty one has to go beyond what is usually considerd to be the computer approach or, rather, the computer metaphor. [... W]e shall outline a new model system, which is realizable by computations in an approximative sense, and can possibly serve as a useful tool for the study of novelty.
[... W]e will point out that existing computer-based models of life correspond to encapsulated or enframed systems, the identity of which is subordinated to operations that delimit their complexity and thereby prevent them from incorporating new information. In contrast, the proposed new apporach will make it possible to let the model components develop unexpected relations, and to extend their property spaces by means of what will be recognized as a self-modifying behavior."

Logic without Syntax
even a syntax is not needed and therefore no symbols and symbol systems are needed (see the Clarification #1 of the 10th of September 2012). Implications:

But the question remains: Who created them?

Intelligence without representation

Symbol Systems
Symbols and symbol systems are needed for handling information by e.g. a human.
A symbol system provides the symbol-grounding and symbolic processing for intelligent behavior and {?statement} on the supposed non-computational and "mindless" aspects of brains (the means that cognitive neuroscience will eventually reveal to us).

But it is also obvious that

• spectrum or continuum between non-symbolic and symbolic, and
• spectrum or continuum between determinism and non-determinism

and that

• symbolic Artificial Intelligence (AI 1) is not sufficient to
  • explain,
  • synthesize, and
  • create or construct

  intelligence, consciousness, and such alike, and

• Physical Symbol System Hypothesis (PSSH) must be wrong or at least not complete.

Symbol Grounding Problem
The symbol grounding problem "is related to the problem of how words get their meanings, and of what meanings are. The problem of meaning is in turn related to the problem of consciousness, or how it is that mental states are meaningful. [...]
Consciousness. Here is where the problem of consciousness rears its head. For there would be no connection at all between scratches on paper and any intended referents if there were no minds mediating those intentions, via their internal means of picking out those referents.
So the meaning of a word in a page is "ungrounded," whereas the meaning of a word in a head is "grounded" (by the means that cognitive neuroscience will eventually reveal to us), and thereby mediates between the word on the page and its referent.
Computation. What about the meaning of a word inside a computer? Is it like the word on the page or like the word in the head? This is where the Symbol Grounding Problem comes in. Is a dynamic process transpiring in a computer more like the static paper page, or more like another dynamical system, the brain? [...] Turing Test [...] Searle's Chinese Room Argument [...] Formal Symbols [...] Natural Language and the Language of Thought", [Stevan Harnad, webpage, 7th of November 2006]

Integrated Connectionist Models: Building AI Systems on Subsymbolic Foundations
"Introduction
Recently there has been a lot of excitement in cognitive science about the subsymbolic (i.e., parallel distributed process, or distributed connectionist, or distributed neural network) approach. Subsymbolic systems seem to capture a number of intriguing properties of human-like information processing such as learning from examples, context sensitivity, generalization, robustness of behavior, and intuitive reasoning. These properties have been very difficult to model with traditional, symbolic techniques.
Within this new paradigm, the central issues are quite different (even incompatible) from the traditioal issues in symbolic cognitive science, and the research has proceeded without much in common with the past. However, the ultimate goal is still the same: to understand how human cognition is put together. Even if cognitive science is being built on a new foundation [...] many of the results obtained through symbolic research are still valid, and could be used as a guideline for developing subsymbolic models of cognitive processes.
This is the approach taken in building DISCERN (DIstributed SCript processing and Episodic memorRy Network [...]), a distributed neural network model fo script-based story understanding. DISCERN is purely a subsymbolic model, but at the high level it consists of modules and information structures similar to those of symbolic systems, such as scripts, lexicon, and episodic memory. At the highest level of cognitive modeling, the symbolic and subsymbolic paradigms have to address the same basic issues. Outlining a parallel distributed approach to those issues is the purpose of DISCERN.
DISCERN is an integrated connectionist architecture. Independent neural network models of the various subtasks are brought together into a single system capable of performing the high-level cognitive taks."

Self-Modifying Systems in Biology and Cognitive Science: A new Framework for Dynamics Information and Complexity

Symbol Grounding Transfer with Hybrid Self-Organizing/Supervised Neural Networks
"Abstract
This paper reports new simulations on an extended neural network model for the transfer of symbol grounding. It uses a hybrid and modular connectionist model, consisting of an unsupervised self-organizing map [(SOM)] for stimulus classification and a supervised [multi-layer perceptron (MLP)] network for category acquistion and naming. The model is based on a psychologically-plausible view of symbolic communication, where unsupervised concept formation precedes the supervised acquisition of category names. The simulation results demonstrate that grounding is transferred from symbols denoting object properties to newly acquired symbols denoting the object as a whole. The implications for cognitive models integrating neural networks and multi-agent systems are discussed."
"The model proposed here implements an autonomous cognitive system, immune to the symbol grounding problem."
"The current model implements neural networks composed of two modules and a retina for input [...]. The first module is a two-layer [unsupervised] Self-Organizing Map (SOM) [for stimulus classification], while the second is a [supervised] multi-layer perceptron (MLP) [for category acquistion and naming]. This new model is a further extension of the previous connectionist models of symbol grounding and transfer [...]."
Its list of reference includes a lot of interesting works, including

Dynamic Symbol Systems
"Abstract
This thesis introduces dynamic symbol systems (DSS). The approach combines a symbolic format of information with a self-organizing dynamics. It is primarily intended for the modeling of intelligent, situated agents.
The basic information processing module is a self-organizing stream. In computational terms, this is an anytime-algorithm for the processing of information that comes in a quite general stream format. In terms of thermodynamic systems, it is an open, dissipative, rapidly self-organizing system. In terms of cognitive science, a self-organizing stream is a module that can appear at any place from the peripheric sensomotoric interface to the central conceptual level, performing tasks of pattern completion, noise filtering, and gestalt formation.
Different self-organizing streams can be coupled, yielding complex, self-organizing information processing systems. These associeties can span the entire periphery-centre axis of an agent. Top-down and bottom-up influences mutually support each other, with none of them having causal or temporal precedence over the other.
At the most central, conceptual level, the DSS representation format is in many aspects comparable to classical semantic networks. The approach proposes answers to several controversial issues concerning the nature of concepts, e.g., context sensitivity, nonmonotonic inheritance, the nature of concepts vs. attributes, and conceptual cycles.
DSS is a concrete formal instantiation of a general, structuralistic epistemology for situated information processing, namely, dynamic symbol structures. The key assumption of this perspective is to consider symbols as empirical, physical observables, which can be reliably detected in an information processing system. This epistemological frame yields a unified view on two paradigms that are often considered incompatible, i.e., the physical symbol systems paradigm and situated action.
The dynamics is described in algorithmic terms. It should be relatively straightforward to make the formalism run on a computer. As yet, however, the approach is not implemented."
Its list of reference includes a lot of interesting works, including

Physical Symbol System Hypothesis
"The Physical Symbol System Hypothesis (PSSH), first formulated by Newell and Simon in their Turing Award paper, states that "a physical symbol system [such as a digital computer, for example] has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action." The hypothesis implies that [(list points added)]

in relation to symbol grounding and symbolic processing required for intelligent behavior.

The hypothesis has been attacked since its publication. For example, Artificial Intelligence (AI) requires AI 1 plus AI 2 that has been designated as AI 3 and included into SoftBionics (SB) by us (see also the section Softbionics and Artificial Intelligence 3).

3. Abstract Machines
In the CHemical Abstract Machine (CHAM) approach states of a machine are chemical solutions where floating molecules can interact according to reaction rules.

We do not have only [low order logic calculi], but we thought it would be better to improve the expressive power respectively the calculus of the CHAM and in this way of the Ontologic System even further. While in CHAM "[i]nference rules are replaced by standard rewrite rules", we added to the rewrite rules the graph grammars or graph rewrite rules that act on the ontologic model when represented as a hypergraph.
In this way, our Ontologic System is grounded a little beyond the observable universe, which suggests that it constitutes some kind of a "spirit".

4. Natural Sciences
The OntoBot with rewrite rules with biological pathway of Maude provides the chemistry and also molecular biology.

5. Architecture and Model
Replace atoms with syntax respectively signs and code and molecules with semantic respectively intelligent hardware and software agents (including actors). Communicate without a common language by mediating ontologies respectively the ontologic model (see for example the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and Knowledge management and the OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of the ...), which solves the Tower of Babel problem.

Self-replication is some kind of a dynamic self-referencing symbol system, which again is some kind of dynamic self-similarity, which again is some kind of dynamic fractal structure (see section 1. Fractal Structure again).

6. Visualization
The complexity and dynamics must be visualized to understand the AI system respectively the OntoBot. Again the approach of SoftBionics (SB) helps in this situation. For example, the visualization of biochemical reaction nets (document "Visualisierung biochemischer Reaktionsnetze").

7. Realization Processing
How to process? Use our Wireless Supercomputer (WiSer) and a 3D printer operated by our Ontologic System.

8. Conclusion
Because of the reasons or arguments that

an Ontologic System is also an artificial living being at least, or being more precise, a new and higher system given the funny descriptions in the Clarification of the 16th of April 2016.

As we said, the Ontologic System is an absolutely outstanding, original and unique, and all-encompassing work.

In this context, we would like to make clear that we use our own taxonomy, because we began in all these fields when it was not clear how they have to be structured on the one hand and on the other hand we do not like some decisions. For example,

Besides such problems with AI and CI, as well as ML themselves, i.e. strong AI, weak AI, hard computing AI, and soft computing CI, there are many other fields such as Artificial Life (AL), Cellular Automata (CA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and so on that are sometimes handled as disciplines of their own or sorted into a superfield where they do not belong to.
And there is the problem with stupid names, like for example Learning Classifier System (LCS) for a hybrid of ML and GA. Why is this technique not called Evolutionary Classifier Algorithm (ECA), Genetic Classifier Algorithm (GCA), or so?
Nevertheless, as long as there are no confusions in the communica- tion we are always on the safe side, and a proper structure will literally evolve or emerge by doing.

Furthermore, we added the missing line about the update of the section Window System in the Website update of yesterday, though it was never in doubt that "Metisse is a fully functional window system".

Finally, we added to the section Intelligent/Cognitive Agent of the webpage Links to Software the link:
