SOPR #20
We continued with the creation of our license model, specifically in relation with the point about the elemental units of measurement for calculating a fee. So far we have as potential units of measurement user, device, processor, processor core, and Ontologic System (OS) instance. Another potential unit of measurement could be a node of a system or network, which could be every one of the other units of measurement.

In addition, we are trying to determine if the legal situation has already evolved so far and reached a state that we have to report all the many serious offences, such as various infringements of rights related with

  • economical aspects,
  • agreements,
  • orchestrated, collective
    • acting and
    • blackmailing,
  • conduction of
    • psychological terror and
    • hate crimes,
  • and so on,

    to the authorities for not becoming a confidant or even an accomplice.

    Style of Speed Further steps
    By pure happenstance, we developed a new Thermal Protection System (TPS) for hypersonic flight and atmospheric (re)entry, and improved one of our other TPSs even more significantly. Potentially, we can integrate both for generting and exploiting synergies.
    Forget your tiles and aeroshells made of silicon, carbon, ceramics, and other very sensitive materials.

    Ontonics Further steps
    When thinking about one of the new magic materials (see the Further steps of the 30th of September 2017), we concluded at first that we had developed a new material but later we saw that we had developed a whole new material class.

    SOPR #21
    First of all, the last actings of the manufacturers Daimler and Volkswagen, as well as the companies Amazon and International Business Machines have proven once again that

  • on the one hand our multimedia works of art titled Ontologic System and Ontoscope are original and unique, and
  • on the other hand our license model already has the right basic structure.

    The true remaining and once again recurring questions are only related with details.

    One of these questions is about the balance between fees for hardware and software items of our Ontologic System (OS) and Ontoscope (Os), and shares for web services and e-commerce realized with our OS and Os.
    This time, we approached the matter from another point of view by distinguishing between access places based on our OS and Os to the Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) of our OS respectively in our OS, but this brings us always back to another one of these questions that is about the unit of measurement mentioned in the issue #20 of the 1st of October 2017 (yesterday) once again.

    With our OS and its ON, OW, and OV we have built up our very own little world, universe, paradise, or even reality, that we enjoy by accessing it with an Os and even living in it eventually. This view and both questions lead us to the field of argument technology somehow and more questions like the following:

  • Why should we be neutral and tolerate disharmony?
  • Why should we give shares of our OS with its ON, OW, OV, and of our Os away for free even without getting any convincing argument?
  • Why?

    Maybe we should begin the discussion with

  • another split, e.g. 51-49 in our favour, or
  • the shop-in-the-shop approach.

    In relation with the latter option, let us have another look how another company handles the e-commerce on its online market platform. "eBay generates revenue by a complex system of fees for services, listing product features, and a Final Value Fee for sales proceeds by sellers. As of November 2012, the US-based eBay.com charges $0.10 to $2, based on the opening or reserve price, as an insertion fee for a basic auction-style listing without any adornments. The Final Value Fee amounts to 10% of the total amount of the sale, which is the price of the item plus shipping charges. Fixed-price listings have an insertion fee of $0.30, and the final value fee varies based on category and total amount of the sale (e.g., 13% for DVDs & Movies up to $50). The UK-based ebay.co.uk takes from £0.15 to a maximum rate of £3 per £100 for an ordinary listing and up to 10% of the final price. Reduced Final Value Fees are available to business registered customers.

    Under US law, a state cannot require sellers located outside the state to collect a sales tax, making purchases more attractive to buyers. Although some state laws require resident purchasers to pay use tax on out-of-state purchases, it is not a common practice. However, sellers that operate as a business do follow state tax regulations on eBay transactions. However Value Added Tax (VAT), the EU countries' sales tax, is different. eBay requires sellers to include the VAT element in their listing price and not as an add-on and thus profits by collecting fees based not only on the sale price "ex VAT" but also on the VAT. In a similar manner eBay also charges its Final Value Fees on all shipping charges."

    Style of Speed Further steps
    We continued with the transformation of Style of Speed.

    The image below shows a design of a landspeeder that we took as a source of inspiration for example for one of the models of our 91x series based on our Speeder system platform, which again was mentioned in the Further steps of the 28th of July 2017 and 24th of August 2017 already on the one hand and could also be an airspeeder on the other hand, as it is the case with all of such designs (see also the Further steps of the 14th of February 2017).

    Sadly to say, we were unable to find out who the designer is.

    Ontonics Further steps
    We gave our new material class developed yesterday the provisional name Stronginium, because it is very strong. The name will change when we present one of its materials for the first time.

    We also developed a second new material of our material class Stronginium.

    SOPR #22
    In relation with creating our license model we have to admit that we are playing with the thought of introducing a more diversified variant that is a little more complex, specifically when we look at

  • everything related with the
    • fields of mobility and logistics, and
    • Ontologic Subsystems and Ontologic Applications listed in the Terms of the 21st Century, which are not included in the basic fee for the reproduction of our Ontologic System,

    and

  • the problem that our arguments also apply for other web services and e-commerce services, that we would have to adjust as well.

    Ontologic Web Further steps
    We have added a new platform and three services to our Ontologic Web (OW) that are based on its original and unique features.

    Style of Speed Further steps
    In relation with the Original vs. Inspiration of today we would like to give the following informations in the same order the images are shown:

  • Chris Dunlop's Ferrari P3 landspeeder concept shows the transformation of a classic sports car (see also the Style of Speed Further steps of the 11th of August 2017, 13th of September 2017, and 2nd of October 2017 (yesterday))
  • Ivan Tantsiura's landspeeder points into the direction of speeders and hovers with a more common sports car design.
  • Syd Mead's pods and speeder are also sources of inspiraton that might become real hoverpods and speeders but with reworked designs (see also the Original vs. Inspiration of the 5th of May 2017).
  • Syd Mead's Mobilage is a source of inspiration for the Style of Speed Hover Gondola as the Hovertaxi for Venezia==Venice, Italy, which would also fit for other places in the regions
    • Veneto, such as Verona, Padova==Padua, Vicenza, and Riva Del Garda==Lake Garda, as well as
    • Lumbardia==Lombardy, such as Lago di Como==Lake Como

    (see also the Style of Speed Further steps of the 13th of May 2017).

  • The spacecraft of the movie Elysium of Sony Pictures also has an interior in the lounge design that we have already shown with the Space@Speeder variant of our Airspeeder model TR-2048 (see also the Style of Speed Further steps of the 10th of January 2015).
  • Danny Gardner's Hommage to Syd Mead points in the direction of a larger Hovervan™, a smaller Hovertruck™, or some kind of a Hoveryacht™, but without that stair for sure. Do not ask us why the designer added that stair instead of simply landing the hover craft on the ground.
  • The Orbittrans of Bela Kotroczo might become a Hovertruck™ or Hoverliner™, but we are not sure it the Red Ladybug becomes an Orbital Transport Vehicle (OTV), because we have our Hypersonic AirLiner (HAL) HAL-1/HyperStar, Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle HCV-1/WhiteSwift, Space Launch System (SLS) and Space Transportation System (STS) with Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) and Orbital SpacePlane (OSP) Space Shuttle III/BigStar, and STS with RLV of the Next Generation (NG) Space Shuttle NG X-3033/ MagicStar for this tasks already (see also the Further steps of the 25th of November 2015 and 1st of October 2017).

    Furthermore, we are pleased to announce the start of our Style of Speed Hover Division Competition.
    The winner gets 1% of our Hover Division™ worth 1 billion U.S. Dollar (*).
    Participants have to create proposals about how to monetize our Hover Division in the best way addressing points like:

  • conducting additional Research & Development (R&D),
  • securing additional Intellectual Properties (IPs),
  • organizing collaborations,
  • constructing the first prototyps,
  • building a first small construction site,
  • starting the first services
    • flight sharing,
    • taxi,
    • public transport,
    • transport,
    • drone delivery,
    • etc.
  • marketing, and
  • preparing the going public.

    Qualified is every entity that has a market capitalization of at least 20 billion U.S. Dollar.
    The winner must provide monetary support for the realization of the proposal.
    A proposal should comprise around 20 to 50 pages, but can have more pages if required for a complete presentation.
    The related material can be found on the websites of OntomaX and Style of Speed.
    The proposals will be held confidential and remain the properties of the participants.
    The deadline is the 31st of December 2017 but we recommend to be as quick as possible.
    Good luck!

    * We keep all of our rights, including the right to reject a proposal if it does not have the required quantities and qualities.


    04.October.2017
    Clarification
    We have also explained in the past, that the development of our Ontologic System (OS)

  • began with the (model-based) Object-Oriented (OO 1) paradigm,
  • which others and we extended with ontologies to an ontology-based or ontology-driven paradigm,
  • which again we developed further to the Ontology-Oriented (OO 2) paradigm in a first step and the Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) paradigm in a second step, that
    • removed the ballast of ontologies, like other removed the ballast of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) by using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), but also
    • combined ontology and logic to ontologics, because the semantic web ontologies are not sufficient (see for example KIND based on MIX).

    This raises the question why ontologies are still important. The answer is relatively simple. As all the many advantages of XML are lost by the substitution of XML with JSON, all the many advantages of ontologies are lost by the substitution of ontology-based paradigms, such as the OO 1, OO 2, OO 3 paradigms, with paradigms that do not use ontologies. But with OO 3 we also added a way that allows us to switch or move between the OO 1, OO 2, and OO 3 paradigms at runtime (see the Clarification #2 of the 5th of June 2016), that allows us to also use the ontologies written in XML and eventually to retain all advantages of ontologies, which also resulted in the Bridge from Natural Intelligence (NI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the end.

    With ontologies we have

  • on the one hand a way of standardization of models and interfaces, that also provides the foundation for contractual security for example, and
  • on the other hand the approaches of Design by Contract and Design by Smart Contract.
    With OO 3 we have the best of both worlds and even of all worlds
  • on the one hand ontologies even in XML where advantageous, and
  • on the other hand high performance and reduced complexity where advantageous.

    The OS and OO 3 are coherent and seamless, and look easy, but only after we said it.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We have talked about some related points already in the past but it might be that we have not explained how the addressing in the Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) functions and how it all fits together when viewed from a more technological direction.

  • We explained that the working of the Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software component resembles (a part of) the working of a (human) brain by giving the following explanation: "[...] this implies that a user or even a machine itself by reflection only has to do with a data storage system of a machine (e.g. computer) or its own data storage system what nature does with a brain: Connecting, disconnecting and caring connections between nodes in an appropriate way, which is done in ontological and geometrical/spatial ways. Said that, with the [Ontologic System] OntoLinux approach we really haven't shown only how artificial intelligence can be implemented, but also how natural and in general intelligence is achieved." (see the Investigations::Multimedia of the 18th of December 2009, The Proposal once again, and also the Investigations::AI and Knowledge management, and Robotics of the 24th of September 2010).
  • We also explained many years ago that our Ontologic System is based on
    • "[t]he Semantic (World Wide) Web effort [that] provides standards and technologies for the definition, exchange, and syndication of Metadata, Topic Maps, Ontologies, and Ontologics, and for collaborative information, knowledge, and process management, as well as the creation of open intelligent collaborative virtual environments" (see the webpage Introduction of the website of OntoLinux), and
    • dynamic graphs or hypergraphs with graph rewriting, like for example a data model compatible with a conceptual graph, semantic network, knowledge graph, or other such semantic structures for storing, presenting, searching, retrieving, and interchanging knowledge, that resembles the structure and function of a brain with its neurons and synapses (see the Clarification #2 of the 10th of September 2012, and also the Ontonics Further steps of the 27th of September 2017 for example),

    which taken together also leads us straight to the so-called Dynamic Semantic Web (DSW), and the fields of cybernetic ontology, proper ontology, and philosophy, and eventually back again to our all encompasing field of Ontonics and Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) paradigma, Ontologic System (OS), and Ontoscope (Os).

  • We also have the OntoGraphics and OntoScope software components based on an Ontologic Scene Graph (see the Comment of the Day of the 27th of January 2010) for representing 3D semantic object models.
  • We also described a specific start configuration of our OS and the servers of our ON that are operated by our OS (see the Ontologic Net and Ontologic Web Further steps of the 11th of May 2016).
  • We also said that as one resulting functionality based on the features of the OS a user can "Speak with the Web" and "Talk to the Web" directly (see the Comment of the Day of the 5th of May 2016 and Ontologic Web Further steps of the 9th of December 2016).
  • We also said that conceptually domain names are not needed anymore (see the Ontologic Net Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 and the Ontologic Web Further steps of the 6th of July 2017).

    Nevertheless, it would be nice to get a representation as the substitute of for example an input field of a search engine or an address bar of a web browser. One possibility is to take a simple graph or even better a mind map (see the project Zooming Mind Map). In this mind map a

  • Uniform Resource Locator (URL; e.g. domain name, web address, or IP address) is represented by a node in accordance with the internet standards and the semantic (world wide) web or broken down in its parts by a graph in accordance with the (dynamic) semantic (world wide) web, specifically the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL), or even an upper ontology markup language,
  • voice command is represented by a node or broken down in its parts by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and represented by multiple nodes, which can be done in textual or/and visual ways,
  • gesture command is represented by an icon, animated graphic, or short video record of it, or broken down in its parts by Natural Image Processing (NIP) and represented by multiple nodes, which can be done in textual or/and visual ways, and
  • different command is represent in every other suitable way that uses the OS features (e.g. Caliber/Calibre, Bridge from Natural Intelligence (NI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Softbionics and Artificial Intelligence 3), components, and applications.

    In general, every other way is possible that uses the OS features (e.g. Caliber/Calibre, Bridge from Natural Intelligence (NI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Softbionics and Artificial Intelligence 3), components, and applications.
    Taaadaaa!!!

    SOPR #23
    We found our statements given in the Ontonics Further steps of the 11th of May 2016 once again, which shows that we were already working on this license model.

    So the companies are already implementing our Ontologic System (OS) and we are already working (again) on the formal and legal requirements of a Terms of Service (ToS) and the license model, specifically on the answers to the questions what kinds of

  • units of measurement, specifically in respect to the embedded systems, and
  • diversifications of web services and e-commerce services, specifically in respect to mobility and logistics,

    should be imposed.
    As we said in the last past, our goal is a license model that is harmonized and as flat as possible.

    We also corrected the text passage "Ontologic Application and ON, OW, and OV Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) with an OS instance and an Os device" with the text passage "Ontologic Application and ON, OW, and OV Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) with an OS instance or an Os device or both".
    If we are really confronted with such contract details then we have to think about another license model. At least there will be no 10 years contract anymore but only a 1 year contract or a 6, 3, or 1 months contract.

    A final and binding decision will be made As Soon As Possible (ASAP) in the limits already discussed in the last weeks.

    Comment of the Day #2
    "It is an Ontoscope, too."
    See also the Comment of the Day of the 13th of September 2017.

    SOPR #24
    First of all, the last actings of the company Google have proven once again that

  • on the one hand our multimedia works of art titled Ontologic System and Ontoscope are original and unique, for example with the
    • slogan "AI + software + hardware" of Google, which translates to "SoftBionics (SB) + software + hardware" and eventually reduces to Ontologic System (OS), and also
    • fact that we have realized our unforeseeable and unexpected vision to 100%,

    and

  • on the other hand our license model already has the right basic structure but nevertheless requires more considerations, adjustments, and fine-tuning related again with the
    • classification of hardware for accounting,
    • fees for the Ontologic System (OS) and the Ontoscope (Os), because we noticed by the actings of Google that our license model is not structured in the right way to map the products on the fees as we want it and a related thought is to take the classification systems for patents, designs, and trademarks, like the Nice classification, as a starting point and relate fees to the relevant device classes, and
    • share for our Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) architecture, because we have the feeling somehow that the 5% share is too low and we must come to a higher fair share.

    We are very sorry, but that is the capitalism the Silicon Valley teached us.

    In general, it can be seen by virtually everybody that our OS with its ON, OW, and OV is the future, because every individual system of large companies are proprietary closed systems that are unable to lift the whole potential of an open system respectively our OS.
    In addition, it seems to be useful to repeat the little fact that no other company

  • holds the copyright and other rights concerning our OS and Os, or
  • even controls them.

    Furthermore, we will provide an Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) index. Only registered services can participate in the OS.


    06.October.2017
    Ontonics Further steps
    We would like to give some more informations about the Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) features:

  • Every user already got or will get a unique user IDentity (ID) with the day of birth.
    Related identity management or identity and access management systems, access control systems, and user account control enhancements of external entities are federated in the ON, OW, and OV.
    A user can use one of the ID systems directly or the Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS) of our Ontologic System (OS), but depending on the chosen way of access only the related rings and assigned ID spaces of the management structure of our ON, OW, and OV will be accessible (see the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of July 2017). This means that a change from one ring or ID space to another ring or ID space might start a procees that logs a user out of a first ID system and logs the user in a second ID system. Moreover, it could be that not all user data is available in a ring or ID space depending on the specific administrator of the user data. Potentially, an advanced version allows the mix of user data.
  • In relation with the OntoGlobe or OntoEarth there are two cases:
    • In the first case mapping services, navigation systems, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) of the companies Google, Here Technologies, and other companies remain isolated. In this case we will build up our OntoGlobe or OntoEarth of our Ontologic System as another mapping service, but with data democracy.
    • In the second case providers of mapping services, navigation systems, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a part of their basic materials, and static and real-time data for the creation of the federated social mapping service, navigation system, and Ontologic Geographic Information System (OntoGIS) included in our OntoGlobe or OntoEarth of our Ontologic System. In this case we can realize more constructive things instead of creating redundancy.

    For enjoying the complete range of (mapping) applications, services, and systems of a specific provider a user might have to change into an appropriated ring or ID space, as it is the case with every other activity and service.

    SOPR #25
    Our SOPR team has looked once again at the share for the Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) architecture.
    On the one side we have the social interest, which is sufficiently weighty for an expropriation respectively a compulsory purchase of our Intellectual Properties (IPs).
    On the other side such an expropriation requires formal actions by the governments, for example the introduction of a special law, in addition to a reasonable compensation payment for the actual value and the loss of future revenues according to the common valuation or street price.
    An alternative is that everybody is allowed to participate for a reasonable compensation, such as a fee or a share.

    We already had collected the various pro and contra arguments, which we do not repeat here once again, begun to find a balance between the different interests of all, sketched a resulting license model, and continued with its refinement.
    But in the last weeks came once again companies like Volkswagen, Daimler, and Co., Amazon, IBM, Apple, and finally Google. Specifically, the last actings of Google showed the fundamental problem, because

  • the company has presented more or less our Ontologic System, as can be seen with its slogan "AI + software + hardware", whereby
    • AI comprise the ontology-based approach and the semantic web, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are included in our SoftBionics (SB), which again are all included in our OSA,
    • software already comprised the operating system Android, which reflects our related software part of our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), OAOOOS Architecture (OAO³SA), and OS OntoLinux, and
    • hardware already comprised the smartphone, autonomous cars, and other devices, which reflects our related hardware part of our Ontoscope Architecture (OsA),

    and

  • it could be very well that Google will occupy around 90% of our OS with its ON, OW, and OV very quickly, as it happened with the mobile computing sector.

    Ah, what ...? One moment, please! Our OS is neither the operating system Linux nor the programming language Java with its Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and our Ontoscope is not a smartphone, smartwatch, smartglasses, Head-Mounted Display (HMD), car, etc., and taking our works as a blueprint in whole or in part for the combination of prior art does not avoid a causal link (see Judge Birss).

    For accelerating the discussion we are taking a short cut to the points about the share and the street price of our works. In this relation, we looked at the

  • online advertisement services of the companies Google and Facebook, which resulted in the data that is given by the companies at every end of their fiscal quarters, suggesting a split of 90:10, but also the insight that monopolies are existent and possible,
  • app stores of the companies Apple and Google, which resulted in a split of 70:30 and 85:15, and
  • marketplaces of the companies Amazon and eBay, which resulted in a fixed fee and a split of 90:10.

    Based on these data we can relatively precisely determine what the street price or share has to be. But we also have introduced a fixed fee for access places and access devices in our OS and started with the balancing of both parts.

    The retroactive billing will start with the 1st of January 2015.

    The central respectively Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) services, such as the

  • service index mentioned in the issue #24 yesterday,
  • related service search engine, as well as
  • social data services and
  • social services

    could be provided either by

  • our SOPR in accordance with the management structure of our ON, OW, and OV as sketched in the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of July 2017, which would imply that they are not done by any licensee, or
  • the public or natural forces.

    This suggest that we should incorporate our management structure of our ON, OW, and OV with its rings and assigned ID spaces into the license model.

    Telecommunication services are also OAOOOS. In this way we do not need to differentiate between a server for the infrastructure and a server for a service.
    The basis of measurement for the share for a web service or e-commerce service is the overall revenue (e.g. 80:15:5 or 85:10:5).
    At least 50 or 100 licensees with the highest amounts of royalties automatically become members of the Inner Circle for one year. The amounts of royalties will be held confidential. The Inner Circle is an expert group or committee that undertakes various tasks, such as

  • controlling the correct operation of the OS management,
  • supervising the 1st ring and assigned ID spaces respectively the system core,
  • regulating and supervising the 2nd ring and assigned ID spaces respectively administration core,
  • giving recommendations and finding solutions for the further evolution of the OS,
  • etc..

    The maximal fixed fees for the Ontologic System (OS) and the Ontoscope (Os) will be increased from 15 to 25 U.S. Dollar to reflect future developments that have not been considered in the first sketch of the license model. Nevertheless, this does not affect the actual devices (e.g. smartphone and automobile) in any way.
    The fixed fees will be adjusted in accordance with the key interest rate of the Federal Reserve System and the inflation rate.

    iRaiment Further steps
    We continued the work on one of our new smart wear models (see also the Further steps of the 13th of May 2017).


    07.October.2017
    Ontonics Further steps
    For our more technique interested fans and readers we would like to give the reminder that we have the 3rd and 4th rings and assigned ID spaces of the management structure of our Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) conceptually sketched in the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of July 2017.
    It should be very easy to understand where the protection of the kids is happening without limiting them to connect with the rest of the World Wide Web (WWW) if they are allowed and want to.

    For everybody, who has not seen it directly, the IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS) part of our Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) computing system is basically a verified state machine based on our capability-based OntoCore software component of our OSs OntoLix and OntoLinux (see also the section Contract-Based Channel (CBC) of the OntoCore webpage).

    For sure, we are also thinking about the question how for example open source projects could and should be handled in the OS, whereby we are tending to a provision that a registered society, registered charity, registered association, non-profit association, or charitable association can ask for a release of the fees and share.
    In this relation, we would also like to direct the interest on the 3rd and 4th rings and assigned ID spaces once again and mention the potential introduction of a special ring or ID space for more liberal persons, so to say, if the other measures do not work as expected.
    What we do not want to see is that such a provision is exploited as a loophole for any other entity (e.g. universities, research institutes, cities, companies) or as a possibility to undermine the goals and disturb the operations of the OS in any way, specifically not in the ways we have observed with some open source projects.
    Furthermore, we will not make any far left-wing politics here, because socialism neither worked nor protected the weaker members of the society like other forms of social systems also failed to do so.

    If a translation of languages is carried out on/by a smartphone and not on/by a connected earphones, then the smartphone has a Multilingual Multimodal Multimedia User Interface (M³UI), which again is an essential feature of our Ontologic System (OS) and our Ontoscope (Os) operated by our OS.

    In general, the situation does not change by

  • separating the physical user interface represented by a first (mobile) device (e.g. microphone, loudspeaker, headphone, or camera) from a second (mobile) device, because the second device still must provide the processing, or
  • separating the physical user interface represented by a first (mobile) device (e.g. headphone or camera) from a second (mobile) device and also separating a part of the software run on the second (mobile) device for running said part on the first (mobile) device, because as more functionality is shifted from the second device to the first device as more the first device becomes an Ontoscope.

    In addition, such a separation also provides a causal link, because

  • the intention is to circumvent the protection of the known original works in this way, which means that a part of the original works is still copied, or
  • the first and second (mobile) devices are regarded as one system, because with this separation the interdependence increases to such an extent that both devices cannot provide the OS functionality alone. In the case that the latter is not true, we have once again one device that is an Ontoscope in whole or in part.

    A camera with functionality of the field of SoftBionics (SB) (Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Evolutionary Computing (EC), etc.) is a copyright infringement if a causal link has not been avoided, because in this case it would be a part of an Os. For sure, showing the evidence for a causal link is not easy, but we get the causal link in the moment the

  • camera is synchronized with a smartphone operated by the operating system Android respectively OntoDroid or another derivative of our OS, because this results in one of the cases discussed above, or
  • recorded images are uploaded to a web service of a service provider, which is based on our Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) architecture.

    Clarification
    In the last days, we concluded that the designation our Ontologic System and Ontoscope as multimedia works of art is not quite right, because the Ontologic System is a totally new type or class of artistic work or work of art, that does not fit into the field or class of multimedia systems. Correspondingly, the Ontoscope is more an Ontologic System respectively a part of an Ontologic System than a multimedia system.
    For this reason we have already begun to call it work of art and to consider the more correct designation, such as for example a new art movement, art form, or artistic direction.

    SOPR #27
    We noticed that more advanced smart speakers also comprise our Ontologic System feature Space-Based Reconfiguration (SBR) (see the Feature-List #6 on the website of OntoLinux), specifically the smart speakers Homepod of the company Apple and Home Max of the company Google, as well as related smart speakers of other companies. Therefore, the license fee for the software and hardware is in the range of 5 + 5 to 10 +10 U.S. Dollar depending on additional properties when a causal link can be proven, which is the case if the operating systems of these companies are used to operate the smart speakers.

    On the one hand, the company Robert Bosch is playing a questionable game with its strategy to give away our Intellectual Properties (IPs) as open or/and free hardware and software, because we have already proven that the Industry 4.0 approach with the

  • lifelong unique serial numbers (compared as some kind of identification by non-experts) and
  • virtual images, virtual reflections, digital twins, virtual dublicates, or digital duplicates of real physical products

    is based on our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA; see the Basic Properties and the sections Automation, Machine Simulation, and Robot Simulation of the webpage Links to Software) and our Caliber/Calibre, and infringes our copyright and other rights already (e.g. cyber-physical respectively reflection in combination with semantic, ontology-based approaches and systems, immobile agent-based systems or even immobile robots (immobots) and mobile robots), or sooner or later (see Judge Birss).
    On the other hand, we have here an interesting example for our license model, because one of its plants has 2,000 devices, or being more precise, production machines with one or more embedded systems that are contected by so-called IoT Gateways or some kind of agents or immobots.
    Though if our license model is accepted, then we have no problems with such a strategy.

    Oh, the question arose once again if a product with a digital twin or virtual duplicate constitutes some kind of an agent or actor, or simply said an Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S). The latter view would make the billing relatively easy: 5% of the overall revenue.


    10.October.2017
    SOPR #28
    We got a new licensee with the company Sephora with its online-offline experience based on our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) comprising the personalised recommender system and the virtual reality available online and on the app, and we are sure that Alibaba will follow next, though we guess that both have not understood the legal situation completely.

    We are also looking at the other new offline shops that are based on a thorough integration of online concepts as part of an online-offline experience in accordance with our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service Architecture (OAOOOSA or OAO³SA), and Ontoscope Architecture (OsA).

    In relation with the user identity, the connected cars and trucks, and the Industry 4.0 approach on the other side we saw that various groups of companies have introduced their own

  • online marketplaces and app stores for the distribution of apps and other software related with their products and services, as well as
  • IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS), access control system, and user account control enhancement for the distribution of content, handling user data, and more activities related with their services.

    For sure, these are interesting developments providing the public alternative choices.
    But as in the case with the smart speakers and home hubs, these apps are running on the operating systems of the companies Apple, Google, and Microsoft and due to the proven causal links they are running in our Ontologic System eventually when linking or using related functionalities of these operating systems.
    Or said in other words, there might be some very special configurations in which an app is outside of the scope of our Ontologic System but we do not think that in the next future exceptions or loopholes still remain to exist.

    The same holds for products and services of the Mozilla Foundation by the way and as far as we can see the Mozilla Foundation does not qualify for the release of our fee.

    We welcome everybody in our new world for a fee and a share.

    Clarifiction
    After a first large country and some high-profile personalities of the financial sector, security sector, and information security sector took the position against the blockchain technique, another large country also blocked related websites.
    Luckily, our Ontologic System (OS) also includes the other alternative that is our Trusted Computing Base (TCB) comprising our OntoCore software component of the OS OntoLinux including various original and unique features (see the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 and for example the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 28th of August 2017 and the Investigations::Multimedia of the 3rd of September 2017).

    In this relation it has to be noted once again, that our Trusted Computing Base (TCB) is an essential part of our Ontologic System (OS), as can be easily seen with the basic properties of our OS and the technologies mentioned and referenced in the section Paving the Way by Bridging the Gap of the webpage Caliber/Calibre of the website of OntoLinux, and is not the result of an ordinary technological progress in the field of operating system and network or distributed computing.

    Based on the description and definition of the Cyber-Physical Systems of the first generation (CPS 1.0), we concluded:
    The Cyber-Physical Systems of the second generation (CPS 2.0), comprising for example the Industry 4.0, are a part of our Ontologic System (OS).

    IMSCenter 5C Architecture for Designing Cyber-Physical Systems of the second generantion (CPS 2.0) in Manufacturing

    This finding or assessment is also a part of the legal foundation for our licensing. See also the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of today.

  • National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation, National Security Agency, et al.: Potentially as a reaction on our research and development, as well as publication of our Ontologic System OntoLinux, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) has identified Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) as a key area of research [Wayne Wolf, November 2007]. Starting in late 2006, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and National Security Agency (NSA) sponsored several workshops on cyber-physical systems, accordingly.
    At first, we quote from the "home-page of the proposed NSF research initiative on Cyber-Physical Systems", which seems to be publciated in the year 2006:
    "Cyber-physical systems will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another.
    [...]
    The research initiative on Cyber-Physical Systems seeks new scientific foundations and technologies to enable the rapid and reliable development and integration of computer- and information-centric physical and engineered systems. The goal of the initiative is to usher in a new generation of engineered systems that are highly dependable, efficiently produced, and capable of advanced performance in information, computation, communication, and control.
    Applications for cyber-physical systems can be found in health care (assisted living, bionics, wearable devices, ...), transportation and automotive networks, aerospace and avionics, automated manufacturing, blackout-free electricity generation and distribution, optimization of energy consumption in buildings and vehicles, critical infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, efficient agriculture, environmental science, and personal fitness. Sensing and manipulation of the physical world occurs locally, while control and observability are enabled safely, securely, reliably and in real-time across a virtual network. This capability is referred to as "Globally Virtual, Locally Physical". An NSF Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems was held on October 16 and 17 in Austin, Texas.".

    We also quote from the webpage of the Cyber-Physical Systems Summit, which seems to be publicated in the year 2008 or late in the year 2007:
    "NSF has announced a major new research program on Cyber-Physical Systems.
    [...]
    Cyber-Physical Systems
    As computers become ever-faster and communication bandwidth ever-cheaper, computing and communication capabilities will be embedded in all types of objects and structures in the physical environment. Applications with enormous societal impact and economic benefit will be created by harnessing these capabilities in time and across space. Such systems that bridge the cyber-world of computing and communications with the physical world are called cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing and communication core. This intimate coupling between the cyber and physical will be manifested from the nano-world to large-scale wide-area systems of systems. And at multiple time-scales.
    Cyber-physical systems will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another.".

    Comment
    This provides us

  • a relatively clear definition and a first (but incomplete)
    • summary of the field of Cyber-Physical Systems of the first generation (CPS 1.0), which is more or less the field of Internet of Things of the first generation (IoT 1.0), and
    • delimitation between the field of CPS 1.0 and our Ontologic System, including the fields of Cyber-Physical Systems of the second generation (CPS 2.0) and Internet of Things of the second generation (IoT 2.0), as well as the field of Industry of the fourth generation (Industry 4.0),
  • the insight that no entity did know completely what is happening and what has to be done at that time with the exception of us,
  • a time marker, and
  • the following especially remarkable facts that the NSF:
    • followed our activities,
    • needed more than 1 year alone to get the basic research started, which again we did before since around the year 1998 (see also The Proposal and the section History of the webpage Overview of the website of OntoLinux),
    • mentioned the related parts of our Ontologic System, such as the Caliber/Calibre, and declared them as the core of the CPS 1.0,
    • took our publications as blueprint, specifically the website of OntoLinux, as can be seen with the terms nano, bridge and
    • began to use the term bionics as well, that was not common at that time in favour of the term biomimetics, after we registered the domain SoftBionics (SB), though the NSF only used the term bionics in a puzzling relation with a very specific utilization in health care and therefore at least not in the sense of SB, which was also done in virtually the same way puzzling way by a company some years later for a basic software library of an operating system base on the Linux kernel.
  • SAP: We quote from the document titled "Cyber-Physical Systems in the SmartGrid" and publicated in the year 2011:
    "The basic building blocks are the existing efforts in the domain of the Internet of Things and Internet of Services [...] In order to realize the SmartGrid promise we will have to heavily depend on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that will be able to monitor, share and manage information and actions on the business as well as the real world. CPS is seen as an integral part of the SmartGrid, hence several open issues will need to be effectively addressed.",
    "In the last decade technology innovations have pushed further the limits, blurring the distinction between the real world and the virtual one by using networked embedded devices that offer real time information exchange between them. Decreasing in size but with continuously increasing communication and computation capabilities, these ubiquitous devices offer advanced monitoring and control of real-world processes at an unprecedented scale.",
    "The core idea behind the amalgamating the physical and virtual (business) world is to seamlessly gather any useful information about objects of the physical world and use the information in various applications during the object's entire life cycle. [First of all, we have here a characteristic feature of our Ontologic System, that is best represented with our Caliber/Calibre, the Basic Properties of the Mediated Reality (MedR), and the sections Mixed Reality and Collaborative Virtual Environment, as well as Automation, Machine Simulation, Human Simulation/Holomer, Robot Simulation, and Earth Simulation/Virtual Globe of the webpage Links to Software of the website of our Ontologic System OntoLinux. In relation with the life cycle, we always refer to the basic properties of Total Quality Management (TQM) and the quality control circle for managing a business process including the tasks of planning, controlling, executing, and checking.]",
    "[...] various names such as Internet/Web of Things/Objects [...], Cooperating Objects [...], Cyber-Physical Systems [...], networked embedded systems etc. have emerged, and although one may argue on the differences and their focus, they all refer to the amalgamation of computation and physical properties; hence we do not really differentiate when we refer to them in this paper. [We do differentiate between the fields of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Networked Embedded System (NES), and we call this amalgation of the real or physical world and the virtual or digital world our Ontologic System (OS).]",
    "CPS might assist by providing that link i.e. dynamically discover, integrate, and interact with the real world. [As can be seen with our Caliber/Calibre, the Ontologic System integrates both the real and the virtual worlds. In fact, we saw that a CPS is a part of the real world and the virtual world and applied a CPS on the CPS.]",
    "The service oriented architecture (SOA) empowered CPS may point us towards a potentially right direction. [See the related text passages in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 9th of December 2016 and the Website update of the 26th of September 2017.]",
    "The CPS-enabled SmartGrid is in need of solutions that will support it at device, system, infrastructure and application level. This includes the whole lifecycle from cradle-to-grave of its components and its services. [Somehow, this sounds very familiar.]",
    "Distributing load in the layers between enterprises and the real world infrastructure (distributed business process) is not the only reason; distributing business intelligence is also a significant motivation. [This points directly to the Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software component of our OS and the section Network Technology of the webpage Links to Software. In relation with business intelligence we also always point to the markup languages and ontologies related with the fields of management and e-commerce, that are listed on Ontologics.info.]",
    "Most of CPS today rely on operating in standalone manner or provide information to standalone services. However with the increased communication and emergence of networks of CPS they will be able to cooperate, share information, act as part of communities and generally be active elements of a more complex system [...]. By doing so they may be able to tackle aspects envisioned for the SmartGrid such as self-management, self-optimisation, and self-healing. As such the governing logic may be expressed in a goal oriented manner assigned to networks of CPS aiming at satisfying business process requirements. [Self, self, self, or reflective. As we said before, we applied the CPS on the CPS, so to say. See also the section Basic Properties of the webpage Overview, specifically the properties "of (mostly) being self-adaptive, self-organizing, self-regenerative, intelligent".]",
    "In the IT world we witness a trend towards virtualization of resources such as hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, network resources etc. [This points directly to the section Network Technology of the webpage Links to Software and the first section of the webpage Components of the website of OntoLinux.]",
    "The majority of these are expected to be automatic e.g. via intelligent user-configured agents and smart CPS.",
    "[...] creation of interactions among its different actors [...] These will have to monitor user's context (e.g. preferences, current location, capabilities, existing contracts etc.) and take automated decisions on his behalf. [See the webpage Ontologic Applications of the website of OntoLinux.]",
    "Automatic tools that do the model checking as well as detect potential safetycritical issues on large scale multi-dimensional applications will be needed. [See the section Basic Properties of the webpage Overview, specifically the properties "of (mostly) being well-structured and -formed, validated and verified, specification- and proof-carrying", and the sections Formal Modeling and Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software.]",
    "Parts of the SmartGrid will be managed by safety-critical applications, whose development will be increasingly challenging. [...] Modelling, risk analysis and impact assessment tools for complex systems will be needed to guide us and provide Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) e.g. related to reliability, safety, performance, resource impact, quality etc. [Our OS has been designed in this respect as well, obviously.]",
    "Standardized abstractions among the various layers and open architectures for CPS-enabled SmartGrid systems is needed. These should enable scalability and component/layer independent evolution. Additionally it should be possible to use highly configurable components and combine them with guarantees e.g. wrt. to performance, safety, dependability etc. These of course should be assisted by a fully-fledged lifecycle framework on a SmartGrid wide system so that new functionality can be managed easily. [At this point our fans and readers should have understood already that the author is discussing all the time our OS. In detail, take a look at the point Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) in the section Basic Properties of the webpage Overview and once again he sections Formal Modeling and Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software.]",
    "[...] the future CPS will be composed of mobile elements and functionalities that will need to be able to handle such a dynamic environment both in software as well as in hardware. It will be the role of the infrastructure to appropriately support mobility at all layers and its side effects e.g. data replication, session management, application semantic considerations etc. [It cannot be overlooked that mobile computing is a major field of our OS.]",
    "Hence it is imperative to invest on the security as a process by looking holistically the emergent CPS-dominated SmartGrid. [See the the section Basic Properties of the webpage Overview, specifically the property "of (mostly) being kernel-less reflective/fractal/holonic".]",
    "Cyber-Physical Systems lie in the heart of the emerging SmartGrid. Their abilities on providing the "glue" between the physical world and the business side makes them indispensable. [What should we say?]", and
    "Significant research will be needed towards integration of control for networked embedded systems, large scale monitoring, simulation, high-performance analysis and cross-layer modelling and integration. [Luckily, we did this research already and the result is our OS.]".

    The semantic web is related with SOA, but the semantic grid and cognitive grid are not mentioned, as it is the case with the field of Mediated Reality (MedR) and other basic properties and components of our Ontologic System (OS), which were added by the company with the Industry 4.0 approach at the same time as well. As we said, we have here either island systems or plagiarisms of our OS. We also observed that all those missing properties and components of our OS discussed here are discussed in the future form.
    See the Clarification Industry 4.0 Special #1 of the 22nd of February 2017 and the Clarification Industry 4.0 Special #2 of the 24th of February 2017, the discussion of the suspicious document about the cognitive grid in the Website review of the 23rd of August 2017, and the Clarification and the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 28th of August 2017, and also keep in mind that we discussed our Evolutionary operating system (Evoos) already in the December of 1999 at the University of Dortmund, B.R.D..
    Sadly to say, in this way no gatecrash and partycrash is possible.

    SOPR #29
    Our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction rights (hereafter SOPR) is approaching several decisions:

  • The mission of the SOPR is to provide collecting rights management for the Ontologic System (hereafter OS), the Ontoscope (hereafter Os), the Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (hereafter OAOOOS or OAO³S), and the other original and unique works created by C.S..
  • The SOPR is organized in different
    • occupational groups or professional groups, also called curiae, and
    • kinds of membership.
  • hardware manufacturers,
  • software manufacturers,
  • infrastructure and telecommunications service providers,
  • application and service providers, and
  • content providers.

    Every interested entity can become a member of SOPR. Basically, four kinds of membership exist:

    • affiliated,
    • extraordinary, and
    • full, as well as
    • board called the Inner Circle

    membership.

  • An owner or user of an OS or an Os respectively access device or access point automatically becomes an affiliated member.
  • A manufacturer or provider of an OS, an Os, or an OAOOOS automatically becomes an extraordinary member.
  • Extraordinary members with the highest amount of donations automatically become full members.
  • The amount of full members is limited to 1.000.000 entities, but the members of the Inner Circle can vote for a different limit with an unambiguous vote (100:0) if appropriated.
  • Each occupational group is limited to have maximal 30% of all members.
  • Full members with the highest amount of donations automatically become members of the Inner Circle.
  • The amount of members of the Inner Circle is limited to 100 entities, but the members of the Inner Circle can vote for a different limit with an unambiguous vote (100:0) if appropriated.
  • In the Inner Circle the simple majority (50.0...1:49.0...9) counts, but the members of the Inner Circle can vote for a different ratio (e.g. 66:34, 75:25, or 100:0) with an unambiguous vote (100:0) if appropriated.
  • The SOPR has only the last vote, specifically in a situation when the members of the Inner Circle do not find a common solution or are unable to make a common decision.
  • The SOPR has a veto right in relation with decisions made by the members of the Inner Circle. Needless to say, this veto right is only used to support the goals of the SOPR.
  • Members of the Inner Circle have to find constructive solutions and make constructive decisions that
    • include the demands of the other members and the broad public, and
    • does not disturb the goals of the SOPR.
  • The SOPR might charge
    • a fixed fee for every single reproduction of the Ontologic System in the range of 0.[00]1 to 25 U.S. Dollar,
    • a fixed fee for every single reproduction of the Ontoscope respectively an access device or an access point, but not for an embedded system connected with an access device or an access point through a computer network in the range of 0.1 to 25 U.S. Dollar, and
    • a share of 5% of the total revenue made with an Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service, and
    • no fee or share in a case that an endeavour (e.g. non-profit society) should be supported to support the goals of the members of the Inner Circle and the SOPR, and in consultation and agreement with the members of the Inner Circle.
  • In return for not charging a fixed fee for every embedded system connected with an access device or an access point, the accounting, billing, invoicing, or two or more of these tasks are done by the members of the SOPR for the reasons that in this way the
    • licensing and collecting process is streamlined,
    • user data is kept in the individual systems of the members, and
    • related costs are avoided.
  • An initial list of access places and access devices to our ON, OW, and OV respectively in our OS will be provided by the SOPR. The SOPR makes a suggestion when the list has to be updated, that the members of the Inner Circle allow or reject, which leads to a new suggestion.
  • If an OAOOOS cannot be described exactly, then the SOPR makes an estimation about the scope of the OAOOOS, that the members of the Inner Circle allow or reject, which leads to a new estimation. The process is anonymous and keeps specific data related with an OAOOOS cofidential as much as possible.
  • Collected fees and shares will be used for funding various projects, specifically the ones presented on the website of OntomaX that provide more possibilities, advantages, and opportunities for all SOPR members, such as for example:
    • infrastructure,
    • Superstructure,
    • Weather Control (WC) and climate control,
    • space access,
    • ocean cleanup,
    • atmosphere cleanup,
    • orbit cleanup,
    • potable water supply,
    • energy supply,
    • health care and medicine supply,
    • insect regeneration, and
    • many other activities,

    that all the other federal, public, and private entities failed to realize in the last decades despite of democratic structures and better knowledge in each and every aspect, or simply said, to save your butts.

    This Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Service (ToS) will be completed with what has been said in the past already and what is missing.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We made some detail works in relation with the abstract machine comprising the Virtual Machines (VMs) and the Virtual Virtual Machine (VVM) of our OntoCore and OntoBot software components, and also our OntoNet, OntoWeb, OntoVerse, OntoGlobe, and OntoEarth software components on the one side and the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Virtual Machine (VM) Askemos on the other side.

  • The Object-Oriented (OO 1) XML base has been collated with our Ontology-Oriented (OO 2) and Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) paradigms, specifically in relation with our Ontologic Request Broker (OntoRB).
  • The HTTP and SMTP protocols have been substituted by or transformed to our OntoNet protocols, specifically in relation with the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and Content-Centric Networking (CCN).
  • The approach of the P2P VM Askemos, that is described with
    • "One important aspect of the Askemos machine is a global rights, roles, and personal identity management system. [...] Capability based schemes have been proposed to reduce the dangers inherent to environments finally controlled by a superuser. [...] In a capability system the authority of a program is just the capabilities it holds. A capability is usually an opaque bit pattern, which, when owned by an object, enables that object to invoke other objects, which in turn decide by themselfs whether they execute the requested operation. [...] Processes must be confined to a strict protocol when manipulating capabilities. Known capability-based systems use a special trusted instance [...] An open, distributed system lacks such a special status. In this section a rule set is derived which defines the capability manipulation rules for the Askemos system. This protection scheme is an extension of capability systems. Instead of the usual opaque bit pattern, a rule is given, how to create new capabilities and grant those to, and revoked them from, other users. Furthermore, these capabilities are not constrained to invoke methods of certain objects, instead they can be used to protect any kind of method in any object. One consequence is that, while usually capabilities are also used to locate the receiver of messages, such an implicit knowledge is not encoded here. To distinguish this kind of extended capability from an opaque, unstructured value, we call such structured capability a "right"." and
    • "[... S]ome effort was made to establish global user identity and data repositories. Those appears to be a premise for electronic trade systems and would ease many applicative tasks. [...] it appears that they face heavy resistance from potential customers and users up to a degree that those projects are put to a rest. Said resistance apparently stems from the human interest in privacy. The account aggregation those proposed schemes incur do not only drive paranoid security experts away, but are also felt by the casual users. Askemos, being distributed without super user authority, can achieve the same utility regarding trade while preserving safety, security and privacy. It just has to be completed with a decent contract system, to assure quality of service. The users are than free to choose whom they trust with their information.",

    is also provided with our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), specifically with the OntoCore and OntoBot software components based on SoftBionics (SB), and the IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS) part of the Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) computing system (see the Ontonics Further steps of the 7th of October 2017).

  • The concept of "places" and "names associated with every place from which named objects (ideas, concepts)" are looked up have been collated with

    In this context, we would also like to note that our

  • Ontologic System (OS) integrates the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP),
  • OntoBot is based on logic engines and able to execute rules given in written and spoken language, and
  • OntoCore is already able to provide every kind of messaging or message passing

    by design (see the section Integrating Architecture of the webpage Overview), so that our OS is also able to provide the Ricardian contract design pattern and technique (e.g. a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) or eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document with rule-based legal matter embedded as executable code) specialized to fungible (financial) instruments.
    The latter has to be viewed in relation with the many other properties of our OS as well.

    At this point it can be easily seen once again that

  • our OSA has the very proper structure and in this way provides much more
    • functionality,
    • safety,
    • security,
    • privacy,
    • liability,
    • integrity,
    • flexibility, and hence
    • synergy

    in relation to every aspect even in relation to the smart contract transaction protocol than any other architecture or platform, such as for example blockchain-based systems with VMs or Turing complete platforms included in our OS and the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Virtual Machines (VMs), like for example Askemos based on our Evolutionary operating system (Evoos) and hence also inlcuded in our OS,

  • our OS has provisions for its problem-free and flawless evolution as an essential part of its Ontologic System Architecture (OSA)
  • our OS does not suffer from the requirement to break a blockchain in the case of a fraud or another issue, and
  • our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) has a clear and precise legal status with worldwide accepted legal liability,

    or said in other words, all these platforms and systems based on the techniques of the smart contract transaction protocol and the blockchain technique, and used for establishing so-called distributed ledgers, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and such alike,

  • are unconnected island systems and
  • want to be in some years, where we were already some years ago, by copying our OS and implementing it with for example a Turing complete platform,

    which implies several foundational legal and technical problems.

    By the way, Askemos is structured in the following ways:

  • "[A]t minimum an idea is a set of associations from properties to values. These associations are usually called pairs, arcs, or arrows. [...] In terms of computer science this is a frame and the foundation basic building block of the Askemos virtual machine." This leads us straight to graphs, the Arrow System of the TUNES system, ontologies, the Resource Description Framework (RDF), and the Web Ontology Language (OWL).
  • "[...] the model can easily be mapped to the elements of the petri net theory [...]."
  • "Places have the properties of processes and objects in other operating systems. They receive messages. Upon reception they react with a possible property change (controlled by the virtual machine) and send messages out to other places. [...] the chosen model divides processes into process steps, which are visible to the underlying machine (agent)."
  • "In Askemos there is a set of names associated with every place from which named objects (ideas, concepts) are looked up."
  • "To summarize: the user space of Askemos consists of autonomous cells called "places". These cells have the ability to memorize values as their internal state and compute - in an atomic transaction - a new state and set of values to be send as messages to other places." This leads us back to a state machine and also to a neuron or nerve cell.

    It's not a trick - It's Ontologics

    Somehow we like this grid structures, but what we want to see are

  • larger structures than the modules of the International Space Station (ISS), as shown in the <:-)>>| of the 15th of June 2008, that are constructed in space with prefabricated parts, components, modules, and systems, and
  • one rotating structure (e.g. von Braun Wheel) or even better a coaxial rotating structure (e.g. 2001: A Space Odyssey), that
    • creates artificial gravity,
    • has a large non-rotating section as hub,
    • has at least one non-rotating spaceship port or shelter, and
    • is attached to other space structures, such as for example a non-rotating grid structure.

    The advantage of our Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Air Traffic Management (ATM) with Future Air Traffic Management Concepts Evaluation Tool (FACET) and National Airspace System Constraint Evaluation and Notification Tool (NASCENT) is their direct connection, inclusion, and integration with all the other original and unique properties of our Ontologic System (OS), so that they can also be used with our

    But somehow we got the impression that this direction of development does not really make sense and instead it would be more advantageous to continue with the development of our hoverwing mentioned in the Further steps of the 25th of May 2017 and (see also the related Further steps of the 20th of March 2017 and 11th of May 2017, and the Original vs. Inspiration 10th of September 2017).

    Clarification
    We would like to direct the interest to the chapter 6 Ausblick==Outlook of The Proposal, specifically to the line "Der Begriff Hardware bezieht sich in diesem Zusammenhang nicht nur auf die in heutigen Computer-Systemen verbaute Hardware, sondern auch auf zukünftige Computer-Systeme mit quanten-, photonen- oder molekülbasierten CPUs.==In this conjunction, the term hardware is not only related to the hardware built into the contemporary computer systems, but also on future computer systems with quantum-, photon-, or molecule-based CPUs." and the webpages Terms of the 21st Century and Feature-Lists.

    Ontonics Further steps
    We have confirmed the mass production process for one of our technologies.

    We have also confirmed the performance of one of our technologies.

    Furthermore, we have developed a new variant of a special display device.

    Moreover, we have developed a new variant of a special component for mobile devices.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We added to the section Intelligent/Cognitive Agent of the webpage Links to Software the link:

  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Brian C. Williams and P. Pandurang Nayak: Immobile Robots AI in the new Millennium

    In this way we

  • give our readers a reference to the field of immobots,
  • show once again that the field of cognitive robotics is included in our Ontologic System already,
  • address the renewed interest of the NASA in autonomy, immobots, and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and
  • show that the voice-controlled drone of the autonomy group of the NASA seems to be an Ontologic Application based on our Ontologic System.

    Keep in mind that

  • our Evolutionary operating system (Evoos), aka. The Proposal, has been presented to the public in the year 1999 already, specifically whenever fields, like for example
    • immobots, robots,
    • CPS and Internet of Things (IoT), and
    • SoftBionics (SB),

    are connected with each other and with humans for interacting with them, or said in other words, C.S. was already there, and

  • our Ontologic System and Ontoscope are different and have much more capabilities, for example they work on the
    • metaphysical, cybernetical, and physical levels respectively real and virtual levels, and
    • implementation (e.g. processor and software code) and design (e.g. hardware and software models) levels.

    of a system besides the many other integrated properties. Indeed, when reading prior art one might think in the first moment that there is no difference between said prior art and our Ontologic System and our Ontoscope, but with every further view more and more differences, details, and sophisticated properties can be recognized.

    Ontologic Web Further steps
    We added our new SoftBionics (SB) platform to our Ontologic Web (OW). The SB platform

  • provides all basic services related with all SB fields, such as
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI),
    • Machine Learning (ML),
    • Computer Vision (CV),
    • Natural Multimodal Processing (NMP),
      • Natural Language Processing (NLP),
      • Natural Image Processing (NIP),
      • and so on,
    • Common Sense Computing (CSC),
    • Affective Computing (AffC) and Emotive Computing (EmoC),
    • Cognitive Multi-Agent System (CMAS),
    • Swarm Intelligence (SI) or Swarm Computing (SC),
    • Evolutionary Computing (EC or EvoC),
    • etc.,
  • that allows users to
    • create dataset generators,
    • generate massive datasets, and
    • train deep learning models, and also
    • trade datasets and models in the platform marketplace,

    and

  • provides services related with all other aspects of our synthetic data ecosystem.

    The SB platform takes advantage of our original and unique

  • Trusted Computing Base (TCB) comprising our validated, verified, capability-based, or/and smart contract-based operating system (kernel) architecture respectively software components, as used for
    • our operating system (kernel) OntoCore or
    • an operating system based on the OntoL4 microkernel

    of our Ontologic System (see also the Further steps of the 5th of July 2017, the Clarifiction of the 11th of October 2017, and the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the and 13th of October 2017) for executing all transactions in the SB platform, and

  • High Performance and High Productivity Computing (HP²C) base integrated in the Ontologic System for conducting all computationally intensive tasks of data generation and model training (see also the OntoLinux Website update of the 6th of August 2012).

    The enormous computing capacity that will become available on our SB platform is another game-changer for the wide adoption of the fields of AI, ML, EvoC, CSC, EmoC, CV, CMAS, and others with the support of our ontology-based or ontology-driven, Ontology-Oriented (OO 2), and Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) systems, including for example the semantic web, semantic grid, and cognitive grid.

    Btw: The terms ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, immobile robot (immobot), Evernet, Everweb, Web of Everything, Web of Objects, Internet of Things (IoT), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), are often used to refer to the amalgamation of computation and physical properties or simply said to our Ontologic System (OS).

    Style of Speed Further steps
    We are thinking that it would be advantageous to increase the transport capacity of our Space Launch System (SLS) and Space Transportation System (STS) with Single-Stage-To-Orbit (SSTO) Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) and Orbital SpacePlane (OSP) Space Shuttle III/BigStar by a factor of 2 or up to 12.7 m/500 in in diameter, and by a factor of 4 or up to 3,100 m³/189,173,656 in³ in volume, so that we are able to transport larger objects into orbit.
    The true problem is that our space station needs a larger spaceship port or shelter. :D

    One design that may fulfill our requirements is the OKB-1 MTKVA launch vehicle design shown in the images below, which must be developed around the year 1974.
    For sure, we replaced the rocket engine and all other outdated technologies. The large nozzle and the two small nozzles are removed for the trunk lid and three linear-aerospike-engines that frame the trunk lid.

    In this relation, a business partner suggested to provide our hoverwing and Thermal Protection System (TPS) technologies (see also the Further steps of the 1st of October 2017) for its Two-Stage-To-Orbit (TSTO) RLV and OSP, that it is developing together with another important entity.
    Indeed, this suggestion is interesting despite that such a TSTO RLV OSP would make our X-3*/LittleStar obsolete somehow.

    In addition, we continued with the extension of our outer space infrastructure. (Should this become a new project called for example Ontonics Outer Space Structure?)


    16.October.2017
    Website update
    We added to the Clarification of the 12th of October 2017 a graphic of the so-called 5C architecture for designing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in manufacturing. The difference between the CPS of the first generation (CPS 1.0) and our Ontologic System (OS) shows nicely what has been taken from our OS and added to the CPS 1.0, like for example

  • several elements of the levels II. Data-to-Information Conversion Level and V. Configuration Level, and
  • the elements of the levels III. Cyber Level and IV. Cognitive Level,

    as others did with for example

  • the Multimodal User Interface (MUI) alone and in combination with Augmented Reality (AR) and (most potentially also with) Virtual Reality (VR),

    or with the so-called 6C system, comprising

  • Connection (sensor and networks),
  • Cloud (computing and data on demand) respectively as a Service (aaS),
  • Cyber (model & memory),
  • Content/context (meaning and correlation),
  • Community (sharing & collaboration), and
  • Customization (personalization and value)

    resulting in the CPS of the second generation (CPS 2.0).

    Clarification
    Maybe it has not been understood, but even if blockchain-based systems are able to safely and securely process some thousands transactions per second, they remain the new single points of failure and every time a failure has happened or a new rule has to be introduced a hard fork is required.
    Imagine in this context the situation that for every application a blockchain has to be managed over a longer periode of time or the attempt to guarantee some kind of a backward compatibility to a specific blockchain.
    This might work for some years, but a look on the evolution paths of systems, such as for example operating systems and programming languages, shows that many developments end in a dead end and only some few systems remain relevant for the broad public, and in the end in such few systems blockchain-based systems will be used for some very few special tasks. The latter is also the reason why we offer the blockchain technique in addition to our Trusted Computing Base (TCB) besides the (smart) contract techniques.
    Furthermore, such a dependency on such a broad scale is not required for providing trust in a worldwide system. In fact, the basic properties of our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) property "of (mostly) being bureaucracy-free, well-structured and -formed, validated and verified, and specification- and proof-carrying" address that overhead of blockchain management respectively avoid a situation in which the OS is spending enormous resources for only proving its trustworthiness.

    Honestly, we have no clue how this should work (in an efficient way) with billions of networked embedded systems even if our Ontologic System (OS) would be

  • illegally copied by perverting the layers of the effectively not existing software stack of our OS respectively as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems 2.0 (CPS 2.0) on top of blockchain-based systems with Virtual Machines (VMs) or Turing complete platforms, or
  • legally used by licensing and using our blockchain component together with or on top of our TCB.

    To avoid any misconceptions, for us it is not important what type of consensus infrastructure is used, but it is relevant when our Ontologic System (OS), Ontoscope (Os), Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), Ontologic uniVerse (OV), and Ontologic Applications (OA) and ON, OW, and OV Services (OAOOOS or OAO³S) are used and the whole potentials of our OS, Os, and so on are blocked, literally said.
    In this respect, we have to point once again to

  • the statements given in the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017
    • "[...] we also have a verified and proof-carrying system as one of the foundations of our Ontologic System and hence a verified blockchain included by its design", whereby we mentioned our Ontologic data storage Base (OntoBase) and Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software components, and
    • "a smart contract constitutes an Ontologic Application if it is verified or/and executable in a runtime environment that also has one or more features of our OS", whereby such a runtime environment could be our OntoCore and OntoBot software components,
  • the features
    • of the "user account control enhancement" and
    • that "every user gets an id",

    and also

  • the fact that the IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS) part of our Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) computing system provides a user security infrastructure with security capabilities (see for example in the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of September 2017 and 8th of October 2017).

    Last but not least, we are entering the age of quantum computing, which still applies the common technique of cryptography on the one hand and on the other hand makes the blockchain technique obsolete but not our OS and its TCB.

    Ontonics Further steps
    We have developed a new technology that solves a very important problem. Sadly to say, as in the case with other very important solutions, we can give no specific informations, because everything we have publicated has been stolen so far.

    Ontologic Web Further steps
    We added new services to our Ontologic Web (OW) that are variants of the services provided by our Search, Find, and Information (SFI) engine Ontologics.info based on the smart contract and blockchain functionalities of our OntoCore and OntoLedger software components (see also the Ontologic Web and Ontologics.info Further steps of the 20th of May 2016, the Ontologic Net Further steps of the 5th of July 2017, and the Ontologic Web Further steps of the 5th and 6th of July 2017 once again). As it is known since more than a decade, our SFI Ontologics.info

  • provides all services related with
    • XML vocabulary and languages,
    • knowledge bases, and
    • ontologies,

    and accordingly the general concept behind these new service variants could be designated as the semantic blockchain or ontologic blockchain.

    In this relation, we would like to repeat that these service variants are provided to fulfill the potential demand of our customers on the one hand and accordingly have to be understood as an extension of our other services executed on our Trusted Computing Base (TCB) that we still highly recommend as first choice.

    and

    • for the personal capabilities on the one hand and
    • of the fact that the industries and eventually the whole world is doing what C.S. does and following us since decades on the other hand.

    Clarification
    We looked at a project of a so-called distributed ledger, that provides a software architecture comprising business blockchain components and is preferred by a larger group of entities. Such a distributed ledger architecture based on the techniques of the smart contract protocol and the blockchain also constitutes a whole system or envionment that provides a high level of trustworthiness or credibility, which is also exactly one of the conceptual and essential properties of our Ontologic System (OS), as can be seen with the slogan "Stars don't lie" that also constitutes the foundation for Pure Rationality (see also the Investigations::Robotics of the 11th of April 2009, the Clarification of the 16th of April 2016, the reference of the Golden Compass or alethiometer, which is a truth-telling device that has been combined with the Caliber/Calibre by C.S. (see also the Original of the 12th of December 2007), and the Ontologica, Ontologico, Ontologics of the 21st of May 2016). In addition, platforms, stack layers, components, and applications based on this architecture also reflect related parts of our OS.

    At first, such similarities seem to be either happenstances or cases of fair use. But the truly important point is that if one has seen our Ontologic System and wants to create an alternative to it, then this causal link voids the argument of fair use (see the Pictures of the Day of the 25th of July 2013 and its comment with the judgement of Judge Birss). What we are trying to find out is where the white, yellow, or red line has to be drawn, and we already do think that said line has to be drawn when the goals or expressions of our OS are reflected and not solely its description.

    Or simply said, with the IDentity and Access Management Systems (IDAMSs), and the distributed ledgers, such as Ethereum and Hyperledger projects, the trustworthiness or credibility of us and our OS is mimicked, and with all the

  • Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Networked Embedded Systems (NES),
  • SoftBionics (SB) techniques (e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Cognitive Multi-Agent System (CMAS)),
  • Mediated Reality (MedR) technologies (e.g. Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR)), and
  • other parts of our OS

    more conceptual and essential properties are copied when viewed as one system or system part.

    How an OS or the OS is implemented in detail is not relevant in this respect. But we continue with

  • highly recommending to take our pure OS as the foundation and put distributed systems on top of it respectively into it and
  • reminding that for reaching a consensus when mixing individual systems, the membership in the SOPR is inevitable at least when the overall goal is the realization of the whole potential.

    Clarification
    We also would like to mention that making a negative form of an original and unique work, for example by encircling it with systems, applications, and services, which do the same as our works or are based on them, constitutes an infringement of the copyright and other rights as well.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We tend to adhere to our initial Ontologic System (OS) and Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) with the

  • OntoL4, OntoS1, and OntoCore software components with for example the Design by Smart Contract approach and the Contract-Based Channel (CBC) technique,
  • OntoBot software component with for example the consensus layer of the Multi-Agent System (MAS),
  • OntoBase software component with for example the log-based technique and the transaction technique, and
  • Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software components, as well as
  • all the many other advanced features,

    and combine them with the OntoLedger software component, that provides the specific functionalities of the blockchain-based systems (see once again the Ontologic Web and Ontologics.info Further steps of the 20th of May 2016, the Clarification #2 of the 15th of December 2016, the Ontologic Net Further steps of the 5th of July 2017, the Ontologic Web Further steps of the 5th and 6th of July 2017, and the 16th of October 2017).

    The reason for our preferance is that we have an Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) that integrates all in one, and the names for the functions, components, and subsystems are merely for having identifiers to talk about them and to understand a related part of the OS when a discussion focus on said specific part. The components can also be understood as namespaces or sets, and the whole OS can be viewed as a cloud or fog with the functionalities being the water droplets or molecules, or as an artificial brain.

    For example, we have

  • all functionalities, specifically of the fields of
    • operating system (os or OpS), specifically
      • reflective,
      • capability-based,
      • (smart) contract-based,
      • etc.,
      and
    • SoftBionics (SB), specifically
      • Artificial Intelligence (AI),

    and

  • actor system, agent system, and Multi-Agent System (MAS),

    that are utilized by utilizing the other functionalities of the OS.
    Continuing with this relatively simple example in relation with blockchain-based systems, the functionalities of the (holistic) OntoCore and the (holistic) OntoBot can generate at run-time

  • a function, component, or an agent with the required functionality from local or remote sources, or
  • take on the form of an MAS respectively Multi-Agent-Based Operating System (MABOS) or even a swarm of agents, that is logic-based, has AI capabilities, and
  • strategies how to
    • manage the os functionalities of the OntoCore, and
    • communicate and collaborate respectively find a consensus about what has to be done by utilizing the functionalities of the OntoBase,
  • and so on,

    so that in the end only a specific strategy or business logic is missing, such as some more different ways of finding consensus that are not already available in the Operating System (OpS or os), DataBase Management System (DBMS), File System (FS), and Multi-Agent System (MAS) functions, components, and subsystems, but not their foundational implementation. Such a missing strategy, business logic, smart contract, or Ontologic Application is provided by the OntoLedger and executed on the OntoCore or the OntoBot. See once again the links given above.
    This synergy cannot be generated by a blockchain-based system as long as it does not become an OS in whole or in part.

    For example, the Ethereum platform is only a plagiarism of the related part of our OS more or less, and the Hyperledger project merely takes the functionality of an OpS, an FS, and a DBMS to define a specific Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing platform, which by the way reminds us of our Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) that runs on our OS respectively in our OS, and therefore adding for example a lottery algorithm to find consensus is a much too thin argument and a much too short lever for us to change anything related with our OSA. In additon, we are (very) sure that similar techniques of finding a consensus are also included in one of the many systems in the field of agent-based system and MAS, though they might have a different name or a different description of the same functionality.

    Somehow we have gotten the impression that even the experts still do not understand what our OS truly is, can do, and how advanced it is.

    Style of Speed Further steps
    We got the confirmation by an external entity that one of our systems works as intended and concluded that it can be utilized as a sonic boom suppressor as well (see also the Further steps of the 27th of January 2016 and 26th of March 2017).

    SOPR #30
    One specific point that we are looking at is the practice of performing our IPs for free by potential licensees because no revenue is generated in this way, obviously. Or said in other words, we are not interested in supporting business strategies that are based on growth and not on profit.

    Ontonics Further steps
    For all entities, who have not seen it directly,

  • blockchain-based systems in combination with Cyber-Physical Systems of the first generation (CPS 1.0) or the Internet of Things of the first generation (IoT 1.0), like the blockchain(-based distributed computing) platform Ethereum, as well as
  • cryptocurrencies (see also the Ontologic Net Further steps of today)

    remain in the 5th ring and assigned ID spaces of the management structure of our Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) conceptually sketched in the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of July 2017.
    The OntoLedger software component of our Ontologic System (OS) already has a part that is compatible with the Hyperledger project for blockchains and distributed ledgers. In this way, every entity can seamlessly change to the fields of Cyber-Physical Systems of the second generation (CPS 2.0), Internet of Things of the second generation (IoT 2.0), and Networked Embedded System of the second generation (NES 2.0) by using the OntoLedger together with the Ontologic Net of Things (ONoT) included in our ON and including the fields of CPS, IoT, and NES (see the Ontologic Net Further steps of the 5th of January 2017).
    For sure, in both cases the related legal and technical provisions are mandatory.

    Please keep in mind that a blockchain platform constitutes an illegal plagiarism of our OS when a causal link can be proven by showing that it

  • has basic properties of our OS, such as of (mostly) being introspective, reflective, self-adaptive and self-organizing, self-amending, or meta upgrading,
  • reflects our OntoBot,
  • reflects our Ontologic File System (OntoFS),
  • applies verified smart contracts, because smart contracts include business logic, application logic, or/and Virtual Machine (VM) logic respectively executable code and therefore verified smart contracts are Ontologic Applications (OA) and not for example Contract-Based Channels (CBCs), or/and
  • reflects our Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) approach.

    Our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) team has already safed the evidences in the cases of two prominent blockchain platforms.

    In addition, besides all their intrinsic technical deficits by their foundational concept and design (see for example the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017 and also the related Clarification of the 15th of October 2017) those platforms based on the blockchain and smart contract techniques, and featuring Turing complete platforms or Virtual Machines (VMs) have solely perverted the (not really existing) software stack of an operating system (os) or our OS, so to say, and in this way lost most of the superior properties of our OS (see also the Clarification of the 11th of October 2017 and the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps 18th of October 2017). For

  • regaining this superior properties but also
  • providing a safe, secure, and reliable foundation for the blockchain platform itself,

    they have to copy more OS properties or/and pervert the software stack once again, eventually, which result in our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), obviously, as can be seen with e.g.

  • the zero-knowledge proof technique and the decentralized applications, aka. features or app coins (see also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017), and
  • putting a blockchain platform on special safe and secure hardware and runtime environments.

    Last but not least, we highly recommend once again to

  • become a member of our SOPR and use our much more superior Ontologic System (OS) and Ontoscope (Os), and
  • not fall prey to very unserious activities, illegal plagiarisms, and other kinds of fraud in this field of blockchain-based systems.

    SOPR #31
    We added to the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Service (ToS) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) the following rule:

  • The term length for the rules of the AoA and the ToS is five years and ends at the end of each year, which has a zero (0) or a five (5) at the end of its year date.

    The foundational rules for the beginning and ending of the membership in the SOPR and the protocol about the way rules of the AoA and the ToS can be changed have been determined in the other related rules already.

    In addition, all messages related with our SOPR will be taken as the foundation for the creation of related webpages that will be publicated on the website of Ontonics.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We are working on the webpage for our OntoLedger component that is based on all the informations that we have given or will give in relation with blockchain-based systems.

    Ontologic Net Further steps
    We think it is time to end the mess and the many failed attempts of companies to push their proprietary Internet of Things (IoT) standards into the market, that we have seen in this field in the last 2 decades.
    Accordingly, we are short before the presentation of our OntoHome system as part of our Ontologic Net of Things (ONoT) (see the Further steps of the 5th of January 2017), which provides standards and interfaces, such as

  • XML vocabulary and languages,
  • knowledge bases,
  • ontologies, and
  • ontologics (e.g. smart contracts and verified logic rules)

    provided by our Search, Find, and Information (SFI) engine Ontologics.info, as well as services for the so-called smart home.
    No Samsung, Huawei, LG Electronics, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or This Then That or whatsoever standards, but simply our Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) with our OntoBot, OntoScope, OntoNet, OntoWeb, and OntoVerse software components.

    Ontologic Web Further steps
    *** Work in progress - missing link ***
    We would like to give the information that our OntoCoin and OntoTaler of our Ontologic Web (see the Further steps of the 5th of July 2017) have become more than an ordinary cryptocurrency in the sense of a banking system and a stock market or equity market, and were added to the financial service platform of our OW. In this way, users can use our OntoPay service for all their different cryptocurrencies as well.
    Oh, we have to apologize for not disclosing it (see the Further steps of the [2016?]).

    Investigations::Multimedia
    *** Work in progress - better explanation due to latest finding ***

  • Dynamic Ledger Solutions: The company developed a distributed ledger, that is based on the techniques of the smart contract protocol and the blockchain, and is called Tezos, which is an illegal plagiarism, because it is based on essential properties and parts of our original and unique Ontologic System (OS). We quote from three foundational papers.

    The first quoted paper has the title "Tezos: A Self-Amending Crypto-Ledger [-] Position Paper".
    "We aim to remedy the potential for atrophied evolution in the crypto-currency space by presenting Tezos, a generic and self-amending crypto-ledger. [The term self-amending is a synonym for the terms being reflective and being self-adaptive, which are basic properties of our OS, as can be seen on the webpage Overview of the OS OntoLinux. The term evolution references The Proposal, which is about a reflective operating system, or being more precise, a Cognitive Agent-Based Operating System (CABOS).]",
    "Tezos can instantiate any blockchain based protocol. Its seed protocol specifies a procedure for stakeholders to approve amendments to the protocol, including amendments to the amendment procedure itself. [Here we have again the reflective property of our OS and the term seed references again The Proposal in relation with the field of developmental biologiy.]",
    "The philosophy of Tezos is inspired by Peter Suber's Nomic, a game built around a fully introspective set of rules. ["Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed.", [Peter Suber, The Paradox of Self-Amendment]. With Nomic we have a reference to the field of philosophy as well. Furthermore, this game or system property is not called (fully) introspective but reflective, which leads us once again to our OS.]",
    "The "hard fork" problem, or the inability for [the cryptocurrency] Bitcoin to dynamically innovate due to coordination issues. [As we discussed in for example the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017, our OS with its Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) addressed this problem just right from its start more than a decade ago.]",
    "The limited expressiveness of Bitcoin's transaction language, which has pushed smart contracts onto other chains. [Besides we got the term onto, we have here another problem with the limited expressiveness of blockchain-based systems, that is also directly solved by the foundational concept and design of our OS.]",
    "Similarly, [the blockchain(-based distributed computing) platform] Ethereum has designed stateful contracts and a Turing-complete transaction language. More important contributions include privacy-preserving ring signatures (CryptoNote) and untraceable transactions using SNARK (Zerocash). [If we here terms like ring and zero in the context of our OS, then the alarm bells are ringing somehow. The Turing machine model of computation, that defines an abstract machine, is directly connected with A Prototype, specifically with the chapter 3 Kolmogorov-Komplexität und algorithmische Informationstheorie==Kolmogorov Complexity and Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT), as well as the field of operating systems, and for sure with our OntoCore and OntoBot software components. We also discussed such blockchain platforms with a Turing complete Virtual Machine (VM), which can perform any classical (non-quantum) computation, in for example the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 13th of October 2017, the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017, and the Ontonics Further steps of today. In this respect, it is important to note the fact, that our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) provides the functionalities of all these techniques (e.g. smart contract protocol and blockchain) and applications, platforms, and systems (e.g. Turing complete VM with transaction and cryptocurrency) since its start (see the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 for example).]",
    "Crypto-currencies suffer from the same fate as smartphones which are incompatible with one another; they derive their value from a network effect, or the number of users who have given it value. To this end, any innovation that occurs outside of a crypto-currency will either fail to build enough network effect to be noticed, or it will succeed but undermine the value of the savings in the old currency. If smartphones were incompatible with older models, there would be either very little innovation or extremely disruptive innovation forcing older phones into obsolescence. [For sure, our OSA has been designed to address all these aspects related with backward or downward and forward or upward compatibility as well.]",
    "Side-chains are an attempt to allow innovations which will retain compatibility with Bitcoin by pegging the value of a new currency to Bitcoin and creating a two-way convertibility. Unfortunately, it's unclear whether they will be exible enough to accommodate protocols substantially different from Bitcoin. The only alternative so far is to fork the protocol. [Obviously, others have recognized this fundamental problem as well, but sadly to say they came up with their solutions around 8 years too late. See once again the links given in the related comments to the quotes before.]",
    "Changes in the protocol are referred to as "forks" [(]not to be confused with blockchain forks which happen within a protocol[)]. [...] Indeed, after a fork, two ledgers exist and users are confronted with a dilemma. How should they value each branch of the fork? [As we said several times now, for example in the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017 and the comment made to the quote about the hard fork problem before, this is a foundational, conceptual problem of the blockchain technique.]",
    "Core development teams are a potentially dangerous source of centralization. [...] Even assuming the likely benevolence of a core development team, it represents a weak point on which an attacker could exercise leverage. [One of our best answers to this problem is the foundation of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR).]",
    "[The blockchain platform] uses its own cryptoledger to let stakeholders coordinate on forks. This allows coordination and enshrines the principle that forks are not valid unless they are endogenous, making it much harder to attack the protocol by moving the consensus. [What should we say? The term endogenous says it all and leads once again to our reflective and self-contained OS.]",
    "A C++ code base with a custom binary protocol powers nodes connected to the Internet while holding e-cash, sounds like a recipe for disaster. C++ programs are often riddled with memory corruption bugs. When they are connecting to the Internet, this creates vulnerabilities exploitable by remote attackers. [We think this is cheap politics done to play down our OS, though with our OntoBot software component we have several other programming paradigms and programming languages at hand, such as logic programming and functional programming, that are provided by the integrated SimAgent Toolkit, and with our Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools and all the properties, components, and other tools our OS is more capable than anything else.]",
    "Other languages do not exhibit those problems. OCaml is a functional programming language developed by the INRIA since 1996 (and itself based on earlier efforts). Its speed is comparable to that of C++ and it generally features among the fastest programming languages in benchmarks. More importantly, OCaml is strongly typed and offers a powerful type inference system. Its expressive syntax and semantics, including powerful pattern matching and higher-order modules, make it easy to concisely and correctly describe the type of logic underpinning blockchain based protocols. [A basic property of the Ontology-Oriented (OO 2) paradigm is an advanced type safety system provided by the ontology part. See also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 once again. Together with our OntoBot and other properties, components, and tools of our OS, which by the way even includes OCaml through the interactive theorem prover Coq listed in the Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software of OntoLinux, we have an unbeatable composition respectively system.],
    "OCaml's semantic is fairly rigorous and a very large subset has been formalized, which removes any ambiguity as to what is the intended behavior of amendments. [This sounds like the OS property of (mostly) being well-structured and -formed. We also point to our OntoBot once again.]",
    In addition, Coq, one of the most advanced proof checking software is able to extract OCaml code from proofs. As Tezos matures, it will be possible to automatically extract key parts of the protocol's code from mathematical proofs of correctness [See once again the sections Basic Properties of the webpage Overview and Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software of OntoLinux, where even Coq can be found, which is implemented in OCaml with some small parts implemented in C.]",
    "All of these bugs could have been prevented with the use of formal verifcation. Formal verifcation has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years, it is time to use it in real systems. [See the comments made to the two quotes before and keep in mind that it is already used since around 2 decades to prove embedded systems that control rockets, missiles, and airplanes, as well as already included since around 1 decade in our OS.]",
    "Tezos attempts to represent a blockchain protocol in the most general way possible while attempting to remain as efficient as a native protocol. The goal of a blockchain is to represent a single state being concurrently edited. In order to avoid conflicts between concurrent edits, it represents the state as a ledger, that is as a series of transformations applied to an initial state. These transformations are the "blocks" of the blockchain, [...] [So where is the difference between a ledger and a safe, secure, and reliable operating system with a dedicated log-based filesystem or/and a transactional database management system that is Atomic, Consistent, Isolated and Durable (ACID) for example? See the Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software component for example. Furthermore, "[a] number of formalisms for modeling and understanding concurrent systems have been developed, including [...] Petri Nets", which can be found in the section Formal Modeling of the webpage Links to Software, and in the section Formal Verification of the same webpage the model checker Boom is listed, and the combination of the property of being kernel-less reflective and the Object-Oriented (OO 1) paradigm results in the language RbCl, which is "A Reflective Object-Oriented Concurrent Language without Run-time Kernel" listed in the section Exotic Operating System. In addition, in the Feature-List #5 we have the listed our Structured Relational Petri net-based Object-oriented Model (SRPOM), which is an existential multi-rooted Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).]",
    "While the seed protocol relies on a simple super-majority rule with a quorum, more complex rules can be adopted in the future. For instance, the stakeholders could vote to require certain properties to be respected by any future protocol. This could be achieved by integrating a proof checker within the protocol and requiring that every amendment include a proof of constitutionality. [We simply refer to the section Basic Properties of the webpage Overview of our OS OntoLinux once again and also to the section Integrating Architecture of the same webpage.]",
    4.2 Amendment Rules [] 4.2.1 Constitutionalism [] While this is more advanced, it is possible to integrate a proof checker within the protocol so that only amendments carrying a formal proof that they respect particular properties can be adopted. In effect this enforces a form of constitutionality. [This proves in particular that our OS enforces constitutionality by its basic properties and in general how original and unique but also elegant and ingenious our OS truly is.]", and
    "No matter what innovations other protocols produce, it will be possible for Tezos stakeholders to adopt these innovations. Furthermore, the ability to solve collective action problems and easily implement protocols in OCaml will make Tezos one of the most reactive cryptocurrency. [We do not think so, because our OntoCore and OntoLedger, and our distributed application and ontologic application respectively ontologic service platform OntoCoin and OntoTaler is the only legal one.]"

    The second quoted paper has the title "Tezos - a self-amending crypto-ledger [-] White paper".
    "We present Tezos, a generic and self-amending crypto-ledger. Tezos can instantiate any blockchain based ledger. The operations of a regular blockchain are implemented as a purely functional module abstracted into a shell responsible for network operations. [We already made clear that the plagiarism is reflective and also universal so to say.]",
    "Most importantly, Tezos supports meta upgrades: the protocols can evolve by amending their own code. To achieve this, Tezos begins with a seed protocol defining a procedure for stakeholders to approve amendments to the protocol, including amendments to the voting procedure itself. This is not unlike philosopher Peter Suber's Nomic, a game built around a fully introspective set of rules. [In this context, the term meta upgrade is a synonym for the term reflection and together with the term "evolve" we are directly led to The Proposal. Based on the explanation given by the author of Nomic, Peter Suber, quoted in the related comment to a quote made in relation with the first quoted paper we are allowed to imply that any system similar to the game Nomic must differ from almost any other system, which again implies that our OS must be original and unique, which again implies that Tezos must be a copy.]",
    "In addition, Tezos's seed protocol is based on a pure proof-of-stake system and supports Turing complete smart contracts. Tezos is implemented in OCaml, a powerful functional programming language offering speed, an unambiguous syntax and semantic, and an ecosystem making Tezos a good candidate for formal proofs of correctness. [The terms seed and seed protocol references The Proposal once again. Furthermore, a smart contract is a computerized transaction protocol that executes the terms of a contract in a runtime environment, such as a Turing complete platform, virtual machine, or operating system. See once again the OntoBot and the sections Basic Properties of the webpage Overview and Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software of OntoLinux.]",
    "In Tezos, we make a blockchain protocol introspective by letting blocks act on the protocol itself. [As we clarified in relation with the first quoted paper, this property is called being reflective.]",
    "We are purposefully not typing the header field more strongly so it can represent arbitrary content. [We even created the Zero Ontology O# for the same reason.]",
    "The state is represented with the help of a Context module which encapsulates a disk-based immutable key-value store. The structure of a key-value store is versatile and allows us to efficiently represent a wide variety of states. [First of all we would like to mention that a key-value stores is also called a key-value database. This provides us the direct link to our OntoBase and Ontologic File System (OntoFS) software components. See also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 once again.]",
    "To avoid blocking on disk operations, the functions use the asynchronous monad Lwt [Lwt is a cooperative thread library. The term cooperative is similar to the term collaborative, which is a basic property of our OS, as we said before. In the field of philosophy, a monad is a term, which means unit and is used by philosophers to signify a variety of entities from a genus to God. In the field of mathematics, specifically in its branch of category theory, a monad (also triple, triad, standard construction and fundamental construction) is an endofunctor (a functor mapping a category to itself), together with two natural transformations. In the field of functional programming, a monad is an abstract datatype or design pattern, which defines how functions, actions, inputs, and outputs can be used together to build generic types respectively how to transfer values and computatins of a simpler type for computation in a higher type, which emerges out of the simpler type by a type constructor, and also the connection of more of several such transfers to a single one. In relation with both meanings, the philosophical and technical meanings respectively ontonical meaning, we discussed the monad and our Zero Ontology (see also the Clarification of the 29th of December 2009 and the Investigations of the 26th of September 2012 (keyword Gödel)). --> The property of the asynchrony can also be found in the section Integrating Architecture of the webpage Overview of OntoLinux.]",
    "The Context module uses a combination of memory caching and disk storage to efficiently provide the appearance of an immutable store. [See once again the OntoBase component and the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 20th of February 2014.]",
    "The score projection always verifies this (ties can be broken based on the hash of the last block). [In the Ontonics, OntoLab, and OntoLinux Further steps of the 8th of October 2012 we discussed a "variant of a log-structured file system based on consistent hashing with finger table. A further extension could be the integration of some more features, like an on-the-fly partioning and formating, checkpoint or/and snapshot management system, and functionalities of a key-value store" in relation with "the file system Fossil of [the operating system] Plan 9, and the Venti network storage system with its 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the data (called here score) that acts as the address of the data, the protocol and algorithm for a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed hash table with finger table Chord", as well as our Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) Single Address Space Operating System (SASOS) with Software Isolated Processes (SIPs), our project SASOS4Fun, and a related transformation of a Linux kernel based operating system, which for sure meant our OS OntoLinux and our OntoFS. In this relation, it has also to be noted that Fossil is a snapshot file system, which uses Venti for permanent storage, and Venti is a network storage system, which "permanently stores data blocks. A 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the data (called score by Venti) acts as the address of the data. This enforces a write-once policy since no other data block can be found with the same address: the addresses of multiple writes of the same data are identical, so duplicate data is easily identified and the data block is stored only once. Data blocks cannot be removed, making it ideal for permanent or backup storage. Venti is typically used with Fossil to provide a file system with permanent snapshots [...] Since writes are permanent, the file system is append-only [...] Clients can verify the correctness of the server: the score of the returned data should be the same as the address requested. Since SHA-1 is a cryptographically secure hash, it is computationally infeasible to fabricate data." (see also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 5th of July 2017 once again). Moreover, transactions and key-value stores are also discussed in the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 13th and 20th of February 2014, and 16th of May 2014, the latter also introduced our OntoBase software component.]",
    "The operations parse_block_header and parse_operation are exposed to the shell and allow it to pass fully typed operations and blocks to the protocol but also to check whether these operations and blocks are well-formed, before deciding to relay operations or to add blocks to the local block tree database. [See the OntoBot once again and also the basic property of our OS of (mostly) being well-formed and structured.]",
    "These files are compiled on the fly. They have access to a small standard library but are sandboxed and may not make any system call. [The SimAgent Toolkit also does compilation on-the-fly. Besides this, the various advanced safety and security properties of our OntoCore include the standard technique of sandboxing, though it is literally spoken capable of doing much more (see also the cases of the University of Harvard and the company Microsoft in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 28th of August 2017).]",
    In order to make the GUI building job's easier, the protocol exposes a JSON RPC API. [The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) model is not the best model for remote interaction as part of distributed computing, though for connecting a GUI it might be sufficient. But we note that RPC is a synchronous message passing technique and in this way the protocol has now the other feature of our integrating architecture as well excluding external synchrony of our OntoCore (see also the Virtual Object System (VOS) for example). Obviously, our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) has been copied as much as possible.]",
    "The name is a list of string to allow namespaces in the procedures. [Here we have another basic feature of our OS, specifically of the functionality of the operating system parts related with file systems and networks.]",
    "In lieu of unspent outputs, Tezos uses stateful accounts. When those accounts specify executable code, they are known more generally as contracts. [Here we get the statement out of first hand that an account can specify executable code, which constitutes incredibly valuable legal matter for us.]",
    "The language is stack based, with high level data types and primitives and strict static type checking. Its design is insipired by Forth, Scheme, ML and Cat. [We refer to our approach of the Multilingual Multimodal Multiparadigmatic Multimedia Multidimensional Programming (MMMMMP) respectively Ontologic Programming (OP) and once again to our OntoBot. In addition, we note that Forth is a real-time programming language originally developed to control telescopes, which leads us directly to the section Physics of the webpage Organizations of the website of OntoLinux, and can compile itself into a new compiler, which refers once again to the properties of our OS of being reflective and self-adaptive.]", and
    "Unfortunately, while this does provide an incentive for one miner to verify the transaction, it does not provide such an incentive to other miners, who must also verify this transaction. In practice, most of the interesting programs that can be used for smart contracts are very short. [This quote is important because it is one of the only two passages in that White Paper that mentions the term "verify". The other passage is "score projection always verifies" and has been already quoted above.]"

    The third quoted paper has the title "Tezos [-] The self-amending cryptographic ledger [As we said before, the term self-amending is a synonym for the term being reflective.]",
    "[...] Tezos was built to facilitate formal verification, a technique which boosts the security of the most sensitive or financially weighted smart contracts by mathematically proving the correctness of the code governing transactions. [See the related quotes and comments made in relation with the first and second papers above.]",
    "The Tezos blockchain will underpin secure, decentralized applications and smart contracts [...]. Tezos was built on the belief that a deep commitment to security, formal verification, and governance that gives stakeholders the power to make protocol decisions is the formula for earning trust and generating widespread adoption on the blockchain. [Somehow we got the impression that other human reasons are the true motivation for the implementation of this system respectively imitation of our Ontologic System (OS). Nevertheless, this deep commitment to provide trust and the specific system properties of a Trusted Computing Base (TCB) in combination with a reflective Turing complete system are essential foundations of our OS and therefore essential parts of the original and unique, characteristic expression of the work of C.S..]",
    "Work on Tezos began in 2014 by its founding development team, whose academic experience spans from philosophy to physics, mathematics and computer science, along with professional experience that includes positions at [two large banks], [a well known finanicial journal], and [a large management consulting and professional services company]. [The combination of the various scientific fields sounds familiar, though we do not know why philosophy and physics are needed for the development of a blockchain-based system. But we do know that such a combination of disciplines are needed for the development of e.g. our Caliber/Calibre of our OS. Also highly interesting are on the one hand the relation of that company to the financial sector and on the other hand the proof, that even the financial sector does know our OS, which is not the first time that we make this observation.]",
    "In the case of pioneers like Bitcoin and Ethereum, those challenges have manifested themselves in situations that put too much power in the hands of core development teams or miners. In other words, first-generation blockchains have become subject to a form of centralization that their developers sought to avoid. During three years of development, the Tezos team sought to address the need for decentralized innovation in protocol design and emphasized the importance of formal verification in its software design philosophy. [This might be the case but does not bother us and is also totally irrelevant, specifically in relation with our OS and our related copyright and other rights, because we did all this several years before.]",
    "While all blockchains offer financial incentives for maintaining consensus on their ledgers, no blockchain has a robust on-chain mechanism to seamlessly amend the rules governing its protocol and explicitly fund protocol development. As a result, first generation blockchains tend to empower, de facto, centralized core development teams or miners to formulate design choices. [A small part of this statement is true, but hardly protectable by the copyright, because our OS includes everything that is required for such a blockchain-based system by its design and adding the missing explicit funding of the protocol development is allowed by the fair use clause or as part of an ordinary technological progress, but only for us and not for others who have no authorized OS.]",
    "Tezos takes a fundamentally different approach by creating governance rules for stakeholders to approve of protocol upgrades that are then automatically deployed on the network. [We only say reflective Multi-Agent System (MAS) or Cognitive Multi-Agent System (CMAS) and adding the missing rest is allowed by the fair use clause or allowed as part of an ordinary technological progress, but only for us and not for others who have no authorized OS.]",
    "Collectively, the network maintains the decentralized aspect of blockchains while introducing a mechanism to enable collective decision making. Tezos tokens not only power smart contracts in the network, but also allow votes on protocol amendments. [In the Ontonics Website update of the 3rd of February 2013 we added the old project Brokered Network and the new projects Storage in the Cloud and Managed Peer-to-Peer (MP2P), which are based on our OS and provide similar decentralized functions. In addition, we do know that in general Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) do vote as well to find a consensus and make a common decision, and for example we know at least one MAS in the field of the Semantic (World Wide) Web (SWWW), which is based on our OS and has agents that conduct votes. In addition, we note once again that (mostly) being reflective and verified are basic properties of our OS.]",
    "Blockchains underpin billions of dollars of value with relatively small codebases, which puts them in the sweet spot for formal verification, a powerful technique that mathematically proves the correctness of computer programs. Formal verification has been used in the aerospace industry, in medical devices, and other instances where the stakes are too high to fail. [The same holds for our OS: The stakes are too high to fail for the OS itself and the many advanced applications and systems based on it, like transactions of a key-value store.]",
    "Formally verifying a complex piece of software is a sizable task, so the development team sought to simplify it as much as possible. To that end, we implemented Tezos in OCaml, a functional programming language that has been developed and maintained by the INRIA since 1996 (and itself based on earlier efforts). [...] OCaml is strongly typed and offers an impressive type inference system. Its expressive syntax and semantics, including powerful pattern matching and higher-order modules, make it easy to concisely and correctly describe the type of logic underpinning blockchain based protocols. OCaml's semantic is fairly rigorous and a very large subset has been formalized, which removes any ambiguity as to what is the intended behavior of amendments. In addition, Coq, one of the most advanced proof-checking software tools, is able to extract OCaml code from proofs. As Tezos matures, it will be possible to automatically extract key parts of the protocol's code from mathematical proofs of correctness. [We already explained in detail that our OS has all these features as well, specifically by our OntoBot and the items listed on the webpage Links to Software. specifically in its sections Formal Modeling and Formal Verification, where Coq can be found as well.]",
    "The correctness of smart contracts running on the Tezos blockchain is almost as important as that of the core protocol itself. Smart contract bugs can taint the reputation of the platform they operate on. To mitigate that risk, the development team designed our smart contract language with correctness and formal verification in mind. Michelson is statically typed and purely functional. The language itself looks like a mix between Forth and Lisp [...]. The Tezos development team has already successfully proven the correctness of Michelson contracts in Coq, including the multisig contract. []",
    "Running a proof-of-stake node also requires more operational security than running a mining operation as it involves signing blocks with a private key on a machine connected to the Internet. This risk can be mitigated by the use of secure hardware components [...]. [This does not solve the foundational problem at all, as proven again and again, and therefore we designed our OS without trusting the underlying hardware at all. The result is discussed in more detail in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 28th of August 2017, the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 29th of August 2017, and of course on the webpage of our OntoCore software component.]",
    "The initial development team of Tezos has a strong philosophical commitment to formal verification and a keen interest in researching new consensus algorithms for blockchains. [On the one hand the statement "[t]he initial development team [...] has a strong philosophical commitment to formal verification" sounds like nonsense but on the other hand it does sound so unexplainably familiar, specifically when we look at the basic properties of our OS and the section Formal Verification of the webpage Links to Software once again. But we have also the strong ontological commitment to fight plagiarisms of our intellectual properties.]",
    "Since Tezos has a built-in governance mechanism, its protocol can evolve and incorporate new innovations over time. In other words, stakeholders can make and enforce decisions about changes to the network using the network itself. [Since our OS is owned by us and has a built-in evolutionary reflection mechanism, we incorporate new innovations whenever it is required. At this point, it can be seen once again that an original and unique, characteristic expression of our OS has been copied that is (mostly) being kernel-less reflective, validated and verified, and also proof-carrying and self-adaptive.]",
    "Produce recommendations for operational security of block validators [See the webpage Ontologic Applications of the website of OntoLinux and guess what our OS can do as well.]",
    "Privacy preserving transactions and smart contracts are a key feature of modern blockchains. [We would say of modern networking or network computing respectively of our OS.]",
    "Zcash makes an impressive use of zero-knowledge proofs to provide full, information theoretic, anonymity, but the risk - however remote - of undetected hyperinflation in the event of a bug in the proof circuit makes some users uncomfortable. [Instead, we have a Zero Ontology and a system based on the fact that Stars don't lie (see also the Clarification of the 17th of October 2017) without any inflation problem.]",
    "Our initial plan is to strike a compromise and integrate Zcash's proof circuit in the protocol, but restrict its operations to a special token issued on the Tezos blockchain. This token will be convertible 1 to 1 with Tezos tokens, but the chain will keep track of how many tokens have been converted so that undetected inflation in the privacy preserving token cannot spill over onto the main token. Users who trust the security of the privacy preserving token will have full use of its functionality while those who don't will remain protected as long as they do not make use of the privacy feature. This mechanism replicates the economic behavior of a side chain, but on a single ledger. [We already explained in the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017 that such a management and maintenance of a blockchain has to be done for every other of the new innovations that should be incorporated in such a protocol.]",
    "In the long run, the team intends to replace all operations on the blockchain with zero-knowledge proofs. Instead of downloading an entire blockchain a client will be able to download a single proof attesting that the entire blockchain has been validated starting from the genesis hash. However, to that end, they will likely make use of [...] zero[-]knowledge proofs [...] but which do not require a trusted setup. [Obviously, the company found out that the blockchain technique has another conceptual problem in practice, as we also discussed in the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017 and in the comment to the quote before (see also the Clarifiction of the 11th of October 2017).]", and
    ""Features" are decentralized applications supported at the protocol level. In Ethereum, the prevailing trend is to deploy these "DApps" through App Coins, a way for developers to build specially marked tokens to power applications on an existing network which can be converted in-and-out of the main network token. [This is the same wrong software architecture that we have seen with sandboxing inside a web browser, because security is an operating system task. This is an example for what we said in the Clarification of the 16th of October 2017 when we said that the software stack is perverted.]"

    Let us summarize the papers:

  • In the first paper, we have a protocol, platform, or system that represents a general or universal state machine, which has its state transformed or changed by functional, reflective, verified and verifying, transactional, concurrent, asynchronous, kernel-less distributed computing respectively Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing with a connection to an evolutionary and embryonical or biological development process, a philosophical and technical foundation, or better said, an ontonical foundation and a related monad, and the Coq proof assistant.
  • In the second paper, we have in addition to the features found in the frist paper a universal state machine that is Turing complete, or better said, a Universal Turing Machine (UTM), or even better said, a Virtual Machine (VM) for distributed computing specifically P2P computing, synchronous message passing in addition to asynchronous message passing, Turing complete smart contracts, on-the-fly compilation, and a disk-based immutable key-value store used to represent a wide variety of states, that taken all together results in a special operating system, which resembles essential parts of our Ontologic System (OS), our Ontologic(-Oriented) (OO 3) Single Address Space Operating System (SASOS), which is an OS variant, and our OO 1, OO 2 and OO 3 SASOS4Fun, which again is an OS variant or extension with a distributed OntoFS based on P2P computing, obviously, with a connection to telescopes through the programming language Forth.
  • In the third paper, we have a software design philosophy with an emphasis of the importance of formal verification, a strong philosophical commitment to formal verification, and a deep commitment to provide trust with the specific system properties of a Trusted Computing Base (TCB) in combination with a reflective Turing complete system that produce recommendations and
    collective decision making
    zero-knowledge proofs
    concisely and correctly describe the type of logic underpinning blockchain-based protocols by a well-structured and -formed functional programming language
    decentralized applications supported at the protocol level
    with a connection to physics

    Indeed, the programming language Objective Caml (OCaml) is based on the programming language Caml, which is based on the programming language Meta Language (ML), which again is typed and said to be rooted in Lisp, which again is reflective. The interactive theorem prover Coq also supports reflection steps functionality, though the underlying small-scale reflection extension has been added only in the year 2009, which "defines a basis for dividing the proof workload between the user and the prover" on the one hand and seems to be copied from our OS as well on the other hand.
    Obviously, essential foundations, properties, and parts of our Ontologic System have been copied, specifically the combination of

  • basic properties of (mostly) being
    • (introspective and) reflective,
    • well-structured and -formed,
    • validated and verified, and
    • specification- and proof-carrying
  • in combination with
    • asynchronous monad technique,
    • reflective state machine based on the asynchronous monad,
    • verified
      • transactions and other functions,
      • logic rules, and
      • programms (e.g. smart contracts),
    • key-value store, and
    • network computing or distributed computing (e.g. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing).

    In fact, the foundational concept and architecture of that blockchain-based system is a very basic and rudimentary variant of our Caliber/Calibre and artificial brain realized with our OntoFS (see the Investigations::Multimedia of the 18th of December 2009, The Proposal once again, and also the Investigations::AI and Knowledge management, and Robotics of the 24th of September 2010) of our OS.
    In addition, it is resembling the belief system of our OS.
    This combination constitutes an original and unique, characteristic expression of the work of C.S.. Finding examples of common elements in various different places, specifically OCaml and Coq, as well as a state machine, a key-value store, and P2P computing, does not avoid a causal link and this combination of these elements cannot be declared as a fair use case, because it is an editing of the work of C.S., that is sufficiently similar to confuse the public about the true origin of this combination or composition and this characteristic expression.
    In addition, this finding is emphasized by the facts that

  • the Position Paper has been publicated on the "August 3, 2014", and the White Paper has been publicated on the "September 2, 2014" several months after our publications, and
  • our trustworthiness has been imitated and our reputation and goodwill has been exploited besides several other infringements of our rights in relation with unfair business practice.

    Taking all together the verdict is simple: Convicted!!!

    The use of that unauthorized platform Tezos is neither allowed due to infringements of several rights of us nor recommended due to the lack of legal certainty and the lack of knowledge and competence in the fields of operating system, networking, and agent-based system, and the many technical deficits resulting from the latter.

    Even more worse, the Tezos platform has collapsed and came to a halt shortly after its start due to at least one serious internal problem or even fraud, specifically the very trustworthy manager of its financial foundation or financial trust grabbed into the cash and the very trustworthy founder showed his true nature as a pure opportunist once again. Obviously, they got no consensus. :D
    This cannot happen with our SOPR and shows once again another superior aspect of our endeavour.

    The same holds for Ethereum Solidity for similar and various other reasons.

    On our own's account respectively on the account of our SOPR we would like to note that

  • on the one hand the original and unique expression presented with our OS can be recognized and
  • on the other hand only the surface of what makes up our OS has been touched so far, while
  • it became obvious once again that our OS is even known by entities not directly connected with hardware and software.

    SOPR #32
    Share for financial transaction
    One specific point that our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) team is looking at is the 5% share of the overall revenue for an Ontologic Application (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Service (OAOOOS or OAO³S) in relation with financial transactions because

  • on the one side the generated revenue is immense and the transaction fee should be on an acceptable level, but
  • on the other side enormous synergies can be set free.

    Luckily, the copyright for our Ontologics System and its OntoCore and OntoLedger software components is owned by us and our OntoCoin and OntoTaler have become a service platform of our Ontologic Web (OW) already (see the Ontologic Web Further steps of the 20th of October 2017).
    In this respect it is incomprehensible that no bank, insurance, stock market, or other actor at the financial markets has asked us for support or membership in our SOPR until today.

    Neutrality
    One specific point that our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) team is looking at is the question how we have to prove our neutrality, which requires that we would not be allowed to have own applications, environments, service platforms, and services in the OS, or any collaborations with a member of the SOPR. Until now, we handled it by avoiding any competition with other companies and only focusing on our own products and services.

    Flaw in the Articles of Association (AoA)
    We found a serious flaw in the Articles of Association (AoA) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR), though we have considered the aspects but did not include them: the public opinion, decision making, and control democratizing in addition to net neutrality, ownership democracy (95% public vs. fee, 5% share, and veto right private respectively SOPR), and data democracy.
    For solving this deficit, we have many options.

  • One idea, which we simply forgot to communicate, is that the members of the Inner Circle must provide representatives that consult all other members, which are all users, or the users vote their representatives from the submitted members of the Inner Circle.
  • Another idea is to select by a lottery as many members, who have not the Inner Circle membership, as members of the Inner Circle exist and make them representatives.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update
    For everybody, who has not seen it already, we have uploaded a first version of the webpage of our OntoLedger component.

    As announced in the Further steps of the 20th of October 2017, we will add more informations, which have been publicated already on this website of OntomaX.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We have our original and unique, characteristic features of our Ontologic System and their combination and integration, including the

  • constellation of stars of the observable universe,
  • mathematical zero 0,
  • Zero Ontology O#,
  • property of reflection,
  • Pure Rationality with at least two-valued and three-valued logics with zeros, negations, and equalities,
  • Softbionics and Artificial Intelligence 3,
  • Caliber/Calibre, and
  • Bridge from Natural Intelligence (NI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI),

    that define the space and time, or world of discourse, discussion, debate, and argumentation, and the

  • OntoBot with e.g. Smodels and Generate 'n' Test (GnT), that is designed to move mentally in this intellectual space and time, or world, and also to make a self-explanation for example.

    Since the 24th of January 2015 (see also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of the 2nd of May 2016), 7th of July 2017>, and the 2nd of October 2017 once again, we are trying to answer the question if we really need an explicit software component for the fields of

  • interpretation, specifically the task of justifying or rationalizing (neural) predictions, and
  • argument technology, that could be called OntoArg for example, because our OntoBot is already able to answer the simple question "Why?" as far as possible and reasonable.

    Ontologic Web Further steps
    We would like to reveal that our Ontologic Web (OW) also provides a food delivery service platform since the 15th of June 2016 already (see also the Further steps of the 5th of May 2017).

    Furthermore, we concluded that enormous synergies can be set free in the financial sectors by the service platform OntoCoin and OntoTaler included in the financial service platform of our Ontologic Web (OW) (see the Further steps of the 20th of October 2017) based on our Ontologics System with the OntoCore, OntoBot, and OntoLedger software components.


    23.October.2017
    Ontonics Further steps
    Some weeks ago, we had to learn once again that the marketing of a supplier misled us in relation with the efficiency of a specific material of our Hoverinium class. But after we looked at the issue, we concluded that the very high efficiency and performance of our materials are sufficient for the intended applications. High-tech is exciting.

    In addition, we refined the production process of the first generation of a composite material.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We were wondering why we are always saying "Mixed Reality (MR) spectrum respectively reality-virtuality-continuum after our definition". Obviously, it is a long time ago when we created this view and as a consequence we simply forgot that

  • on the one hand our definition of Mixed Reality (MR) respectvely Reality-Virtuality-Continuum (RVC) in relation with our Ontologic System (OS) also includes Synthetic Reality (SR) and
  • on the other hand we even do not differentiate between a reality and a virtuality anymore, because this is our new reality.

    The webpages Overview and OntoVerse as well as other places of information will be updated when we decided for a final description. Until then we leave it with the common defintions for not confusing the public unnecessarily.

    Style of Speed Further steps
    In the last days, we worked on our Hoverplane of the second generation (see also the Orignal vs. Inspiration of today and the related Further steps of the 16th and 17th of May 2017, 3rd of August 2017, and 10th of September 2017) and designed new wings, which are more efficient and even foldable.

    The foldable variant of the wings allows the construction of the smaller model of our Hoverplan series with the 1+1 seat configuration in such a way that it is small enough to be

  • sheltered under a common car port or in a common garage, and also
  • taken as the basis for a roadable variant, that can be
    • recharged easily at one of our thousands of electric vehicle charging stations already installed worldwide in the variant powered by a pure electric propulsion system or
    • refueled easily at one of the thousands of petrol stations in the variant powered by a diesel fuel or gasoline engine.

    In this respect we would like to make clear: Where we are flying, we do not need wings, too.
    The reason why we are developing wings at all is that there will be a time of transition and wings provide an additional means of safety, as it is also the case with our (redundant) Thermal Protection Systems (TPSs) for our aerospaceplanes and spaceships that have anti-gravity and repulsorlift technologies.


    24.October.2017
    SOPR #35
    We would like to give the reminder that Cyber-Physical Systems of the second generation (CPS 2.0), Internet of Things of the second generation (IoT 2.0), and Networked Embedded Systems of the second generation (NES 2.0) including rural and urban infrastructure, specifically

  • traffic networks and
  • smart city areas, smart cities, and smart metropolises, like for example
    • Canada, Ontario, Toronto, Quayside, and
    • P.R.China, Jiangsu, Wuxi High-Tech Industrial Development Zone,

    require the membership in our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) for the reasons discussed for example in the Ontonics Further steps of the 20th of October 2017.

    In this relation, we also would like to give the reminder that the copyright is an international right and the internationally accepted copyright law is also effective in West Asia, specifically on the Arabian Peninsula, including e.g. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

    26.October.2017
    SOPR #36
    Net neutrality vs. specific ystems
    One specific point that our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) team is looking at is the contrariness of the

  • net neutrality on the one side and
  • requirement of specific applications and services to ignore net neutrality on the other side.

    A prominent example for the latter is remote (medical) operation by Virtual Reality (VR) and robots.
    Luckily, the SOPR provides a trusted environment where the 4 Committees (and the supervisor) can come together, make related decisions, and introduce suitable provisions.

    Suspension of legal matter
    Our SOPR had to move the date for publicating the binding Articles of Association (AoA) and Terms of Service (ToS) from the end of October 2017 to the end of November 2017 due to

  • legal problems and potential negative effects on our legal position by the activities of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) on the one hand and
  • new findings of legal matter, subject matter, as well as insights about more unpleasant activities behind our back on the other hand.

    If the situation does not improve, then we have to set the date indefinitely.

    Honestly, we are not naive and guess that eventually everybody will come up with some kind of legal tricks and legal wranglings, so that we will have to go the long way (attorneys, prosecutors, etc.) anyway. That said, we have to get clear answers by several large companies and their signs on the contract at first before we can go on officially as planned.
    Nevertheless, the SOPR is continuing with its activities as planned and communicated but everything said and done has to be considered as inofficial and therefore not binding in any way.

    Herewith, all announcements, statements, concessions, etc. made on this website OntomaX are suspended.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    For several years, we thought about the problem how the belief system of our Ontologic System (OS) can be guaranteed respectively: Who verifies the verifier (prover, reasoner, or/and checker), that verifes a system? This resulted in the application of the fact that 'Stars don't lie' and the network of telescopes, as well as several other measures (see also the Ontologica, Ontologico, Ontologics of the 21st of May 2016).
    But we saw that something is missing between the stars and our Trusted Computing Base (TCB), but only from the point of view of implementation. In a similar way, we also saw recently, when we remembered once again, that the functionalities of the blockchain technique in particular and the distributed ledger technology in general are already included in the software components of our OS and integrated by our Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), that they could fill the gap and provide a more harmonious transition.

    As we mentioned in previous messages, we are not completely convinced of the blockchain technique (see the Clarification of the 11th, 16th, and 17th of October 2017, the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 13th and 18th of October 2017, and the Ontonics Further steps of the 20th of October 2017). But when we investigated the various blockchain platforms we got more convincing arguments for utilizing this technique in different ways than for realizing a special data store, which resulted in a refinement of our TCB based on the OntoCore with the OntoLedger component, that together can be utilized in accordance with the following rule of thumb:

  • stars observation - very long-term trust and very long reaction time,
  • distributed ledger or consensus based on a cryptographically chained or interconnected data structure (e.g. blockchain technique) - long-term trust; for example operations on the blockchain with the zero-knowledge proofs of the OntoLedger based on the basic property of our OS of (mostly) being specification- and proof-carrying, which do not require a trusted setup; instead of downloading an entire blockchain a client will be able to download a single proof attesting that the entire blockchain has been validated starting from the genesis hash,
  • OntoCore and Design by Smart Contract - long-, mid-, and short term, as required,
  • Ontologic Net (ON) infrastructure - very long-term and long-term,
  • Ontologic Web (OW) infrastructure - long- or short term, as required,
  • Ontologic uniVerse (OV) infrastructure - long- or short term, as required, and
  • Ontologic Application and ON, OW, and OV Service (OAOOOS) - long- or short term, as required.

    As it is the case with the management structure of our ON, OW, and OV, and the integrating Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), this trust structure can be described as a layered structure, but in practices it is a hypergraph, an n-dimensional set, or being more precise, a set system or a family of sets drawn from an universal set X.

    Hopefully, the sketch of this conceptual detail is already understandable.

    SOPR #38
    In the issue #30 of the 19th of October 2017 we began with looking at the practice of giving away our IPs for free by potential licensees because no revenue is generated in this way. Our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) came to the conclusion that it is not our proplem but the problem of said licensees to pay the fee for the access places and access devices, and also the 5% share of the overall revenue generated with the IPs given away for free.

    In addition, we added to the section Duties of Members of the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Service (ToS) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) the following rule:

  • For acting against a right of the SOPR (e.g. plagiarism, avoidance of fee or share) members are required to
    • make a report about a potential infringement of a right of the SOPR,
    • tell a third entity about a potential infringement of a right of the SOPR, and
    • cease a relation to a third entity in the case of an infringement of a right of the SOPR on behalf of the decision made by the Steering Committees

    for free.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update
    On the webpage of the OntoLedger component, we have substituted the section:
    "and is compatible with for example the

    • Askemos Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing platform [of the second generation (Askemos 2.0) ...], and
    • Hyperledger platform for permissioned blockchain-based systems or blockchain networks,

    used for establishing distributed ledgers, distributed settlements, and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)"
    with the section:
    "and is compatible with frameworks, architectures, and systems for network computing or distributed computing (e.g. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing and cloud computing)

    • based on the supported contract protocols and blockchain techniques, and
    • used for establishing distributed ledgers, distributed settlements, and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)"

    to emphasize our neutrality and independency, but also the fact that such technologies are based on our Ontologic System (OS), including our Evolutionary operating system (Evoos).

    In a second step, we have renamed the section Supported Contracts into Contract Protocols.

    In a third step, we transformed the section Contract Protocols into the point:
    supports the contract protocols.

    In a fourth step, we added the new point:
    supports the blockchain methods

    • permissionless and
    • permissioned.

    In a fifth step, we added the consensus protocols:

  • Paxos and
  • lockstep.

    Furthermore, on the webpage Links to Software we updated the information that the two systems are better known now as [...] Google Assistant, Microsoft Cortana, Amazon Alexa [...] and Samsung Bixby as well.

    SOPR #39
    We updated in the section Duties of Members of the Articles of Association (AoA) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) the following rules:

  • C.x.r For establishing data democracy the members are required to
    • collect specific data,
    • make public said specific data,
    • provide said specific data to the SOPR, and
    • use standards and interfaces provided by the SOPR for handling said specific data,

    for free.

  • C.x.s For establishing data democracy the members of the Steering Committees are required to
    • C.x.s.1 select sources of specific data (e.g. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Networked Embedded Systems (NES)) to be collected within the OS, ON, OW, and OV, and
    • C.x.s.2 select specific data for being collected within the OS, ON, OW, and OV, and by the OAOOOS and Os

    for free.

  • C.x.v Specific data must by provided
    • C.x.v.1 anonymously,
    • C.x.v.2 anonymized,
    • C.x.v.3 at the right time, and
    • C.x.v.4 at the right space.

    The initial set of selected sources and the initial set of specific data are empty.
    The reason for this update is that we are neutral in this point of data democracy as well.

    To avoid legal loopholes and to provide a formal correct rule we also introduced the following provision to our Terms of Service (ToS):

  • An entity, who has properly registered a performance or a reproduction of our ontologic work(s), is eligible to pay only the reduced fees and the share of overall revenue made with our ontologic work(s).
  • An entity, who has not properly registered a performance or a reproduction(s) of our ontologic work(s), will be charged with
    • a fee of up to 180 U.S. Dollar + triple damage compensations of up to 540 U.S. Dollar for each reproduction of our Ontologic System,
    • a fee of up to 180 U.S. Dollar + triple damage compensations of up to 540 U.S. Dollar for each reproduction of our Ontoscope, and
    • the overall profit made with an Ontologic System or/and an Ontoscope.
    • These fees can be reduced and this overall profit can be transformed to the share of the overall revenue made with our ontologic works in individually made agreements and in this way transformed into a properly registered performance(s) or/and reproduction(s) of our ontologic works.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
    We were asked by two very large companies for an ID agent. In fact, we are already thinking about a special software component in relation with a universal security key for each user or artificial agent called OntoKey, that would be an agent of the overall holistic Cognitive Multi-Agent System (CMAS) included in the OntoBot component and working with the rings and assigned ID spaces of the management structure of our Ontologic Net, Ontologic Web, and Ontologic uniVerse (see the Ontonics Further steps of the 10th of July 2017 and 6th of October 2017) but also even with the other Ontologic System Components (OSC) such as the OntoBase, OntoScope, and OntoLedger components.


    29.October.2017
    SOPR #40
    We have update the following rule suggested in the issue #39 28th of October 2017 (yesterday) with the missing requirement for labelling:

  • An entity, who has properly registered the performance(s) or/and the reproduction(s) of our ontologic work(s), is eligible to
    • pay
      • the reduced fee for each reproduction of our Ontologic System,
      • the reduced fee for each reproduction of our Ontoscope, and
      • the share of overall revenue made with our ontologic work(s).

      and

    • brand as desired
      • each reproduction of our Ontologic System,
      • each reproduction of our Ontoscope, and
      • each Ontologic Application and Ontologic Net, Ontologic Web, and Ontologice uniVerse Service.
  • An entity, who has not properly registered the performance(s) or/and the reproduction(s) of our ontologic works,
    • will be charged with
      • a fee of up to 180 U.S. Dollar + triple damage compensations of up to 540 U.S. Dollar for each reproduction of our Ontologic System,
      • a fee of up to 180 U.S. Dollar + triple damage compensations of up to 540 U.S. Dollar for each reproduction of our Ontoscope, and
      • the overall profit made with an Ontologic System or/and an Ontoscope,

      and

    • will be forced to
      • label each reproduction of our Ontologic System with the labels "OntoLab" and "Ontologics" in direct approximity to the label of the related brand and viewable for a user,
      • label each reproduction of our Ontoscope with the labels "OntoLab" and "Ontologics" in direct approximity to the label of the related brand and viewable for a user, and
      • label each Ontologic Application and Ontologic Net, Ontologic Web, and Ontologice uniVerse Service with the labels "OntoLab" and "Ontologics" in direct approximity to the label of the related brand and viewable for a user, and also
      • correct all related publications by telling that the ontologic works have been created by C.S. and have to be licensed by the SOPR.
    • These fees can be reduced, this overall profit can be transformed to the share of the overall revenue made with our ontologic work(s), and these requirements for labelling and correcting can be revoked in individually made agreements and in this way the improperly registered performance(s) or/and reproduction(s) of our ontologic work(s) can be transformed into the properly registered performance(s) or/and reproduction(s) of our ontologic work(s).


    30.October.2017
    Clarification
    One specific point that we are looking at are the combinations of

  • an item that belongs to the field of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), or Networked Embedded Systems (NES) of the first generation with
  • a cell phone or mobile phone, and
  • an immobile robot (immobot) with
  • a cell phone or mobile phone.

    In fact, we have not seen such combinations, which are general examples of Ontologic Applications and items that belong to the field of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), or Networked Embedded Systems (NES) of the second generation, and if one of them would exist, then it will be very easy to find out that the combination of

  • an immobot with
  • a smartwatch, a smartphone, or similar device

    did not exist at the relevant time.
    Said that, all related smart home solutions presented in the last 10 years are included in our iArchitecture designed and developed by the OntoLab and powered by Ontologics both also created by C.S..

    In this respect, we would also like to mention that iArchitecture comprises buildings and infrastructures as well, as its name should suggest, and not only our @home solutions.

    SOPR #41
    Fee for access device or access point
    Another specific point that our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) team is looking at is once again the fee for an access device or access point. We observed two points:

  • The determination of the fee is related with mobile devices, such as (advanced) smartwatches, smartphones, and laptops, and corresponds to around 5 to 10% of the endprice or revenue. This would support larger items and more expensive items, such as automobiles, more than smaller items and cheaper items. Specifically, in relation with automobiles, flying cars, air taxis, etc. this is not comprehensible on the first sight.
  • But it could be argued with the structure of the fees and the share of the overall revenue.

    So we leave it untouched. :)

    Federal SOPR members
    In relation with our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) we would also like to give the information that governments, states, and cities can become members of the SOPR and even members of one of the Steering Committees as well.
    This also suggests that we must add a rule that limits a single entity from taking to much seats in a Steering Committee and also suggest to give each country a seat in at least one Steering Committee.

    Definition of entity
    This again suggests that we have to define at first what an entity is:

  • A user constitutes one entitiy.
  • A company with all its subsidiaries, if existent, constitutes one entity.
  • A nation with all its states and cities, if existent, constitutes one entity.
  • An entity must have a member of the SOPR as representative.
  • An entity can only have one seat in the Steering Committees.
  • A Steering Committee represents the interface to an external entity (e.g. government, international organizations, associations, non-members).

    Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM

  • Ray Kurzweil: Once again that plagiarist, who is said to be an inventor, though since his few inventions were done or copied more than 40 years ago and since then he has specialized on presenting the Intellectual Properties (IPs) of everybody, and futurologist of the company Google, has copied a part of our Intellectual Property (IP) from our websites. Besides this, it is also interesting to note once again that R. Kurzweil together with Google and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) founded the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence solely for the goal to mimick C.S. and our corporation (see for example the Investigations::AI and Knowledge management of the 19th of August 2009.
    From a fake report of a journalist of a public-law broadcaster in the B.R.D. we got the following information, that we directly translated into English: ""We will construct a synthetic neocortex, I am working on this actually", says Kurzweil. Which means: He wants to reconstruct a part of our cerebral cortex in the cloud. His vision: to connect the human brain with a reproduction in the cloud and in this way with the internet. It is a permanent backup of the brain [...] With an artificial brain with infinite storage capacity he wants to preserve the memories and knowledge beyond the biological dying of our body. "The knowledgy will steadily increase and this exponentially. In the future, our synthetic brain will predominantly dominate us most of the time. It will be so mighty and powerful, that it will control the biological part of our bodies and in this way permanently make a backup of our brain", explains the researcher. With the actual brains this would not work yet. But the digital future would make it possible, Kurzweil is hoping." The caption of a related image says: "What our brain thinks is directly stored in the cloud - as the future vision says."

    Obviously, this time an essential part of our Ontologic System (OS) has been copied without any authorization, specifically our

  • original and unique Caliber/Calibre and
  • our original and unique composition of the

    Indeed, another plagiarist has publicated a short summary about the technology of uploading before, that we reproduced in parts in the section Extended Identity of the webpage Terms of the 21st Century publicated on the webpage of the website OntoLinux to stop his attempt as well, and has also copied our IP without any authorization to conduct the same plagiarism like R. Kurzweil with the unauthorized cognitive system of the company International Business Machines (IBM), which we have documented in the Investigations::Multimedia, AI and KM of the 8th, 24th, and 25th of July 2017, and the Clarification of the 26th of July 2017.
    But what all these plagiarists overlook again and again are the

  • general fact that our Ontologic System is an original and unique, characteristic, unforeseeable and unexpected ontologic, cybernetic, and multimedia work of art created by C.S. in the OntoLab - The Lab of Visions,
  • particular fact that C.S. has also created the original and unique Evolutionary operating system (Evoos), also known as The Proposal, which is the successor of our Ontologic System, as also explained in the section History of the webpage Overview, and
  • particular fact that C.S. is the only one, who provided a technical architecture or model together with a way of implementation of such a cognitive system being able to reflect a user with the Ontologic System Architecture (OSA), the Ontoscope Architecture (OsA), and the Ontologic System OntoLinux, as can be seen with the webpages Overview and Caliber/Calibre, and all the related sections of the webpages Links to Software and Links to Hardware of the website of OntoLinux, which have been stolen by all those fraudsters in part.

    For sure: Convicted, once again, as usual. And totally mad.

    We do not think that the majority wants such a common coupling through the internet to a Nasty Artificial Intelligence (compare with our Friendly Artificial Intelligence also described on the webpage Terms of the 21st Century) respectively a part of our Ontologic System stolen and perverted to a dystopia similar like the Borgs of the Star Trek saga and the sentient machines of The Matrix saga with human batteries backed by the consensus of selffish, narcissistical, antisocial, opportunistical, greedy, hatefull, untrusthworthy entities.

    Comment of the Day
    "Hier bin ich, ich kann noch besser, Gott vertraut mir.", [C.S.]
    "Here I am, I can do even better, God trusts in me.", [C.S.]
    So let us have a try:
    "Here we are, we can do even better, God trusts in us."

    For the ones, who are not well versed in the fields of theology we cite a quotation often quoted as part of Martin Luther's statement before the Diet of Worms: "Here I stand, I can do no other, may God help me, Amen."
    No eyewitness account exists for this statement, and hence the origins of the quotation is attributed to Georg Rörer, the editor of Luther's collected works, who wanted to add a summary of Luther's documented statement: "[Da] mein Gewissen in den Worten Gottes gefangen ist, ich kann und will nichts widerrufen, weil es gefährlich und unmöglich ist, etwas gegen das Gewissen zu tun. Gott helfe mir. Amen.==[Because] my conscience is entrapped in the words of God, I cannot and do not want to withdraw, because it is dangerous and impossible to do something against the conscience. May God help me. Amen."
    It is also found on a woodcut of the year 1557.
    Now guess what Luther did 500 years ago.

    SOPR #43
    The hardcore coders want to see 8 to 10% of the overall revenue generated with an Ontologic Applications (OA) and Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV) Services (OAOOOS) as share. Our opinion is that one part is included in the fees and the other part is included in the accelerated growth and adaption supported by a lower share.

    OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update
    In the section History of the webpage Overview we corrected the passage:
    as part of these self-expressive multimedia works of art
    with
    as part of these self-expressive works of art that also defined the new field of Ontonics.
