Ethereum is done, as we said all the time

And we do have the next copyright infringement by that serial fraudster, as our proof of stake and proof by evidence show.

Do not be fooled by all those totally incompetent crypto criminals and kleptomaniacs. They have absolutely no clue what is truly going on and that that crypto ship has already sailed long ago at the end of October 2006. In fact, we already have everything integrated in our original and unique work of art titled Ontologic System and created by C.S., which is based on the

  • smart contract transaction protocol,
  • blockchain technique, and
  • resilience,

    and also

  • identity,
  • governance,
  • election,
  • education,
  • finance,
  • justice,
  • infrastructure operation,
  • etc., etc., etc..

    See for example the webpages

  • Overview and
  • Ontologic System Components (OSC),

    of our original and unique Ontologic System (OS), the incomplete summaries

  • on the website ontologics.info and
  • in the issue SOPR #327 of the 7th of June 2021

    of our infrastructures and their subsystems and platforms, and also Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS), and the related note

  • Proof-of-Stake also not silver bullet at all of the 15th of September 2022.

    And we do exploit the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation exclusively, as granted by national and international laws, regulations, and acts, as well as agreements and conventions, specifically in relation to the copyright.

    By the way:

  • One does not write off our websites to write a report, a scientific document, or a book. How stupid is that?
  • Those criminals around illegal digital and virtual currencies should avoid to visit or live in the U.S.America for the next 2 decades. Somebody might be waiting at the border or coming to a visit at home. It's not a trick and not a bluff. :)
  • They should exchange their illegal cryptocurrencies as long as it is still possible, because service providers of all kinds will close or stop services of all kinds in the upcoming months rather rapidly, or as long as we have not caught them, or both.

    LAION has to comply with law and order

    Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network (LAION) eingetragener Verein (e.V.)
    eingetragener Verein (e.V.)==registered Association (r.A.) or registered Society (r.S.)

    The situation is exactly the same like with OpenAI and any other not-for-profit venture, group, foundation, consortium, or company respectively Non-Profit Organization (NPO) and also research institute (see also for example the Ontonics Further steps of the 5th of August 2022):
    The LAION r.A or r.S. has no right to

  • make the original and unique ArtWorks (AWs) and further Intellectual Properties (IPs) contained in the oeuvre of C.S. available for commercial purposes,
  • modify said AWs and further IPs, and
  • deploy, provide, and implement respectively perform and reproduce said AWs and further IPs under a different license

    in whole or in part, and in a way other than that authorized by our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR), such as Stable Diffusion by the company Stabilitiy AI.
    Our legal team will stop this and other misconduct in the near future.

    Not this way, ladies and gentlemen. There is no legal loophole, even not by claiming for research and teaching, and gatecrashing and provoking an incursion here in order to damage us is also not very civilized, exemplary and enriching the society.
    We have also worked hard for our rights and properties, and have overcome many existing limits and created new ones.
    And art is just as important for a free and open society as science and education and therefore it is also protected by the copyright.

    Apparently, some still do not understand, or simply do not want to accept and respect what C.S. has accomplished here in more than 25 years since around the year 1997.

    Die Situation ist genau dieselbe wie bei OpenAI und jeder anderen gemeinnützigen Unternehmung, Gruppe, Stiftung, jedem Konsortium oder Unternehmen bzw. jeder Non-Profit-Organisation (NPO) und auch jedem Forschungsinstitut (siehe auch zum Beispiel die Ontonics Further steps vom 5. August 2022):
    Der LAION e.V. hat kein Recht die

  • originalen und einzigartigen KunstWerke (KWe) und weitere Intellektuelle Eigentümer (IEer), die im Oeuvre von C.S. enthalten sind, kommerziellen Zwecken zur Verfügung zu stellen,
  • besagte KWs und weitere IEer zu modifizieren und
  • besagte KWs und weitere IEer unter einer anderen Lizenz einzusetzen, zu implementieren und bereitzustellen beziehungsweise aufzuführen und zu reproduzieren

    im Ganzen oder in Teilen und auf eine andere als die von unserer Gesellschaft für Ontologische Aufführung und Reproduktion (GOAR) autorisierte Weise, wie etwa Stable Diffusion von dem Unternehmen Stabilitiy AI.
    Unsere Rechtsvertretung wird dies und anderes Fehlverhalten in naher Zukunft unterbinden.

    Nicht auf diese Weise, meine Damen und Herren. Es gibt kein rechtliches Schlupfloch, auch nicht bei der Geltendmachung für Forschung und Bildung und hier ungebeten einzudringen und einen Einfall zu provozieren, um uns Schaden zuzufügen, ist ja wohl nicht gerade sehr zivilisiert, vorbildhaft und die Gesellschaft bereichernd.
    Wir haben für unsere Rechte und Eigentümer auch hart gearbeitet und haben viele bestehende Grenzen überwunden und neue geschaffen.
    Und Kunst ist genauso wichtig für eine freie und offene Gesellschaft wie Forschung und Bildung und deshalb ist sie auch durch das Urheberrecht geschützt.

    Anscheinend haben einige immer noch nicht verstanden oder wollen einfach nicht akzeptieren und respektieren, was C.S. in mehr als 22 Jahren hier geleistet hat.

    Stability AI blacklisted

    *** Work in progress - better order, some better formulation and explanation ***
    We have investigated the company Stability AI, because it has

  • released its text-to-image Machine Learning Model (MLM) Stable Diffusion under some kind of a no-charge, no-royalty, free and open (source) license, also wrongly called just only open source license, and
  • combined it with a Discord server (communities) and a Discord bot, which is also licensed under a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
    In general, do not do such transformations with voice calls, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and other modalities, and also multimodal generative models.

    While these kinds of Machine Learning Model (MLM) or foundational cognitive model are already problematic from the legal point of view, in most cases a further connection, combination, composition, and integration with other FOSS already performs and reproduces a part of our original and unique Ontologic System (OS), which our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) has not authorized and therefore does not allow and license the performance and reproduction of the related part.

    Our SOPR also demands that raw signals and data, Personal Informations (PIIs), knowledge, models, and algorithms are traded on the Marketplace for Everything (MfE) of the infrastructures of our SOPR.

    In the following we quote the "CreativeML Open RAIL-M" license for Stable Diffusion solely for discussing this matter, which is allowed under the fair use clause of the copyright law in contrast to the application of that license in relation to the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation:

    dated August 22, 2022

    Section I: PREAMBLE

    Multimodal generative models are being widely adopted and used, and have the potential to transform the way artists, among other individuals, conceive and benefit from AI or ML technologies as a tool for content creation.

    Notwithstanding the current and potential benefits that these artifacts can bring to society at large, there are also concerns about potential misuses of them, either due to their technical limitations or ethical considerations.

    In short, this license strives for both the open and responsible downstream use of the accompanying model. When it comes to the open character, we took inspiration from open source permissive licenses regarding the grant of IP rights. Referring to the downstream responsible use, we added use-based restrictions not permitting the use of the Model in very specific scenarios, in order for the licensor to be able to enforce the license in case potential misuses of the Model may occur. At the same time, we strive to promote open and responsible research on generative models for art and content generation.

    Even though downstream derivative versions of the model could be released under different licensing terms, the latter will always have to include - at minimum - the same use-based restrictions as the ones in the original license (this license). We believe in the intersection between open and responsible AI development; thus, this License aims to strike a balance between both in order to enable responsible open-science in the field of AI.

    This License governs the use of the model (and its derivatives) and is informed by the model card associated with the model.

    NOW THEREFORE, You and Licensor agree as follows:

    1. Definitions

    - "License" means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and Distribution as defined in this document.
    - "Data" means a collection of information and/or content extracted from the dataset used with the Model, including to train, pretrain, or otherwise evaluate the Model. The Data is not licensed under this License.
    - "Output" means the results of operating a Model as embodied in informational content resulting therefrom.
    - "Model" means any accompanying machine-learning based assemblies (including checkpoints), consisting of learnt weights, parameters (including optimizer states), corresponding to the model architecture as embodied in the Complementary Material, that have been trained or tuned, in whole or in part on the Data, using the Complementary Material.
    - "Derivatives of the Model" means all modifications to the Model, works based on the Model, or any other model which is created or initialized by transfer of patterns of the weights, parameters, activations or output of the Model, to the other model, in order to cause the other model to perform similarly to the Model, including - but not limited to - distillation methods entailing the use of intermediate data representations or methods based on the generation of synthetic data by the Model for training the other model.
    - "Complementary Material" means the accompanying source code and scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the Model, and used to prepare data for training or evaluation, if any. This includes any accompanying documentation, tutorials, examples, etc, if any.
    - "Distribution" means any transmission, reproduction, publication or other sharing of the Model or Derivatives of the Model to a third party, including providing the Model as a hosted service made available by electronic or other remote means - e.g. API-based or web access.
    - "Licensor" means the copyright owner or entity authorized by the copyright owner that is granting the License, including the persons or entities that may have rights in the Model and/or distributing the Model.
    - "You" (or "Your") means an individual or Legal Entity exercising permissions granted by this License and/or making use of the Model for whichever purpose and in any field of use, including usage of the Model in an end-use application - e.g. chatbot, translator, image generator.
    - "Third Parties" means individuals or legal entities that are not under common control with Licensor or You.
    - "Contribution" means any work of authorship, including the original version of the Model and any modifications or additions to that Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof, that is intentionally submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Model by the copyright owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Model, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
    - "Contributor" means Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and subsequently incorporated within the Model.

    Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    Both copyright and patent grants apply to the Model, Derivatives of the Model and Complementary Material. The Model and Derivatives of the Model are subject to additional terms as described in Section III.

    2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Complementary Material, the Model, and Derivatives of the Model.
    3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License and where and as applicable, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this paragraph) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Model and the Complementary Material, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Model to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Model and/or Complementary Material or a Contribution incorporated within the Model and/or Complementary Material constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for the Model and/or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is asserted or filed.

    Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION

    4. Distribution and Redistribution. You may host for Third Party remote access purposes (e.g. software-as-a-service), reproduce and distribute copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the following conditions:
    Use-based restrictions as referenced in paragraph 5 MUST be included as an enforceable provision by You in any type of legal agreement (e.g. a license) governing the use and/or distribution of the Model or Derivatives of the Model, and You shall give notice to subsequent users You Distribute to, that the Model or Derivatives of the Model are subject to paragraph 5. This provision does not apply to the use of Complementary Material.

    Comment
    A first quick look on that CreativeML Open RAIL-M license shows that it is (based on) a source-available software license, which is meeting the criteria to be called open source license.
    We have the opinion that it is basically a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) license due to the statements

  • "open source permissive licenses regarding the grant of IP rights" in the Section I: Preamble and
  • "no-charge, royalty-free" in the paragraphs 2. and 3..

    We also note that the authors focus on the

  • multimodal properties and
  • foundational cognitive models, including the
    • Multimodal, Modular Machine Learning Models (MMMLMs)

    of our original and unique Evolutionary operating system (Evoos) and Ontologic System (OS), and want to confuse and manipulate the opinion of the public by discussing the science and the benefit pro bono publico==for the public good in the Section I: Preamble, as not expected otherwise.

    Our Evoos with its Evolutionary operating system Architecture (EosA) already integrates ontology, Machine Learning (ML), and multimodality.
    Our OS already integrates Evoos and Algorithmic/Generative/Evolutionary/Organic ... Art/Science.
    Therefore, we have provided sufficient evidence, which shows that our OS has been taken as source of inspiration and blueprint, which constitutes a causal link.
    Because the

  • moral rights of C.S. are effective, the proper referencing of C.S. and other actions are required, and
  • Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) has been implemented in part, the proper compliance with the AoA and the ToS of our SOPR is required

    by the copyright law.

    Basically, such a case is related to at least the topics

  • copyright,
  • science, research, and education, as well as art,
  • organization or society for the public good, and
  • commercial work.

    But the

  • fields of science and education in particular, and
  • benefit for the public in general

    are not a jester's license or a legal loophole.
    See the

  • Ontonics Further steps of the 5th of August 2022 and
  • related sections of the issue SOPR #33o of the 15th of July 2022, and
  • sections Legal matter [FOSSH] and Infrastructure [M&O of OAOS fabric] of the issue SOPR #33p 13th of September 2022

    once again.

    In addition, we are unable to recognize the benefit for the public and the need to release Machine Learning Models (MLMs) as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) respectively under an open source license for no-charge, no-royalty, even not in case of promoting and conducting science, education, and so on.
    But we recognize the attempt to infringe the rights and properties, and also damage the goals and even threaten the integrities of C.S. and our corporation by entities alone and in collaboration. The latter even constitutes conspiracies between certain entities, which makes all of those cases in the field of what is called multimodal generative models in particular and what we call foundational cognitive models in general a serious crime.

    Using "AI or ML technologies as a tool for content creation" and "promote open and responsible research on generative models for art and content generation" are not considered as items, which can be legally provided for free, and it does not change the legal situation, if such a tool is used for whatsoever. A scientist, artist, and any other entity still has to buy or rent such a tool. Furthermore, such a promotion must not be based on providing a software, a model, or a similar Intellectual Property (IP) (for free and forever) at all.

    Specifically, when it comes to the newest high-technology, giving away software for free is not reasonable and acceptable, but quite the contrary is the case, because

  • research and development has to be financed,
  • new goods are more valuable then old goods, and
  • giving a good and a service away, and performing and producing for free is considered as undeclared work or moonlightning, if it is not a shortly timed and otherwise limited one-time marketing activity or promotion, as we always explain in this relation.

    We also do know that entities often only do it to infringe and damage the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation.

    We know the discussion about "The_Cathedral and The_Bazaar" started on the 27th of May 1997 by Eric S. Raymond and also the claim that software should be a human right. But the latter does not apply to all software, if at all, and also is not granted by any law in contrast to the copyright and the patent right.

    Because our SOPR

  • has shown that it is possible to commercialize all FOSS, MLMs, and similar Intellectual Properties (IPs) as open but not free software without any problems, which is also proven by many entities worldwide, for example by the freemium business model (e.g. Midjourney),
  • is licensing the performance and reproduction of certain parts of our OS under Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory, As well as Customary (FRANDAC) terms and conditions, and
  • guarantees overall fairness, neutrality, and other among all members and licensees of our SOPR,

    our SOPR has blacklisted the company Stability AI until it has cured all legal deficits.

    The

  • national and international laws, regulations, and acts, as well as agreements and conventions, and
  • regulations of the AoA and the ToS of our SOPR

    are crystal clear and

  • will not be discussed by us,
  • will not be questioned by others, and
  • will not be undermined by politicians, judges, and other entities

    again and again anymore.

    Either entities comply now to the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Services (ToS) with the License Model (LM) and the Main Contract Model (MCM) of our SOPR or our SOPR will refuse the allowance and license for the performance and reproduction of certain parts of our OS. This principle of us is called 'All or nothing at all' and applied to avoid further infringements and damages of the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation.

    Furthermore, the RAIL initiative is just the same nonsense and bull$#!+ like OpenAI, Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network (LAION) eingetragener Verein (e.V.)==registered Association (r.A.) or registered Society (r.S.) (see the note LAION has to comply with law and order of the 2nd of October 2022 (yesterday)), and all those other Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), which eventually are not (purely) non-profit and have as their intentions to

  • infringement the rights and properties, and
  • damage the goals and even threaten the integrities

    of C.S. and our corporation.
    In fact, neither those NPOs nor their ridiculous licenses (e.g. Open RAIL license) and illegal licensing practices will stop the mess, which they and their supporters have started by releasing HardBionics (HB) and SoftBionics (SB) (e.g. AI, ML, ANN, CV, SwarmC, and so on) as free and open source software, models, and similar IPs. In the same way, they do not respect the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation, others will ignore their rights and properties, which they truly have. Eventually, the last thing that these relatively powerful high technologies and their relatively new capabilities and utilizations need is that anarchy of the open source community. And we do not want that another technology becomes the foundation of an even larger invasive mass surveillance, as already happening since more than 2 decades, or an epidemic of mass killings, as seen with freely and openly available weapons.
    Once again, we cannot see any benefit for the public.
    Therefore, our SOPR has withdrawn some modifications of the original and unique ArtWorks (AWs) and further Intellectual Properties (IPs) included in the oeuvre of C.S. respectively introduced some first control and monitoring mechanisms and regulations in the last weeks, including the

  • designation of SB as a Service (SBaaS), including MLaaS, as exclusive Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS) of the infrastructures of our SOPR,
  • strict brokerage or mediation of the federation of Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS),
  • generation of common foundational cognitive models and mandatory utilization of them in relation to the infrastructures of our SOPR and our other Societies, and
  • registration of the utilization of HB and SB by validated IDentity (ID), and also
  • registration of FOSS projects at our SOPR.

    By the way:

  • We do know that at least the companies Alphabet (Google) and Stability AI collaborate with OpenAI and LAION.
    And that the F.R.German government respectively ministry of science and education, a very well known F.R.German university, and a very well known F.R.German research institute, which is a burner of taxpayers' money and stooge of the government since more than 3 decades, are directly involved does not make the issue respectively mess better.
  • Our SOPR already introduced the regulation to estimate the revenue lost by marketing activities and freemium business models. Companies need to factor the cost into their budgets.
  • We demand once again that the company Microsoft removes all illegal FOSS projects from the website GitHub immediately.
    We also demand once again that the companies Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook), Samsung, Intel, Qualcomm, Huawei, Baidu, Alibaba, and all other companies as well as all NPOs remove illegal FOSS projects from their websites immediately.
  • And while we are already discussing about freedom of choice, innovation, and competition pro bono publico==for the public good, then also note how Alphabet (Google) has perverted the FOSS with Android by removing the freedom, that reigned in computer hardware by stealing (the related parts of) our Ontologic System (OS) with its Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) and Ontoscope (Os).
    In this sense we quote the foreword of the work titled "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" (CatB): "In computer hardware, where freedom reigns for both suppliers and consumers alike on a global scale, the industry generates the fastest innovation in product and customer value the world has ever seen."

    SOPR #33q

    *** Work in progress ***
    Topics:
    This issue is a summary of topics discussed in the last weeks, which are:

  • Legal matter
  • Legal matter [Joint venture Model (JvM) and Ownership Model (OwM)]
  • Legal matter [Blacklisting crypto]
  • Legal matter [Blacklisting virtual land]
  • License Model (LM) [Finalization]
  • Main Contract Model (MCM) [Public tender]
  • Main Contract Model (MCM) [Crypto platform]
  • Infrastructure [Safety and Security]
  • Infrastructure [Universal Ledger (UL)] or Universal Ledger (UL)
  • Infrastructure [CoCoS] or Communication and Collaboration System (CoCoS or Co²S)

    Legal matter
    The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) of the United Nations Organization (UNO) has to comply with the

  • national and international laws, regulations, and acts, as well as agreements and conventions, specifically in relation to the copyright, and
  • regulations of the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Services (ToS) with the License Model (LM) and Main Contract Model (MCM) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR)

    like any other entity, specifically when it comes to the future of the Interconnected network (Internet), which obviously is our

  • Ontologic Net (ON),
  • Ontologic Web (OW),
  • Ontologic uniVerse (OV),

    which collectively are our Ontoverse (Ov) and New Reality (NR).

    {not ready} Legal matter [Joint venture Model (JvM) and Ownership Model (OwM)]
    Our SOPR is reviewing and revising the Joint venture Model (JvM) and the Ownership Model (OwM).

    Both regulations respectively regulative models of the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Services (ToS) of our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) regarding the

  • joint venture between a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) and our corporation inside the jurisdiction of a state or country, and
  • ownership of a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) outside the jurisdiction of a state or country

    were introduced to avoid that a government and its clique gain control over the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation through an SOE and in a way, which is not lawful.

    On the one hand, the Joint venture Model (JvM) was initally meant only in relation to purely SOEs respectively SOEs, which are hold by a state to 100%.
    On the other hand, the Ownership Model (OwM) was initially meant only in relation to keep SOEs at bay.

    But over the time, we had to learn and understand that it is a complex matter without exact limits near the area where order transitions or turns into chaos.

    Another consideration is that in case we are not able to extinguish a fire, then we have to play with it, control it, and exploit it.
    But due to the complex and even slightly chaotic situation, our first attempt seems not to result in what we tried to accomplish.

    In this context we repeat once again that we do not sell either directly or indirectly, and also do not want to dilute this principle of us.

    But one unwanted side effect is that we pull unwanted entities with us, which amounts to giving an unreasonable free ride and free load, sharing the profits in disproportionate ratios, restricting and even blocking our businesses, and also giving in to their extortions, and eventually support exactly those principles, which are not legal and acceptable from our point of view.

    In addition, certain entities are increasing more and more the complexity of the situation, so that a certain disorder or chaos creeps into our order.

    Legal matter [Blacklisting crypto]
    We have blacklisted several illegal crypto platforms related to

  • layer 1 blockchain, including
    • main blockchain, primary chain or relay chain,
  • layer 2 blockchain, including
    • parachain,
  • cross-chain bridge,
  • blockchain network, including
    • Peer-to-Peer (P2P) blockchain network,

    and also

  • Ontologic Applications and Services (OAOS), including
    • digital payment system and
    • ...,

    and

  • investment, including
    • fund and
    • venture capital.

    Legal matter [Blacklisting virtual land]
    We have blacklisted several illegal crypto platforms and Ontologic Applications and Services (OAOS) related to

  • digital and virtual land and
  • digital and virtual assets.

    {not ready, tables missing} License Model (LM) [Finalization]
    SOPR considering final License Model (LM)

    Over the last 2 weeks, our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) looked at its License Model (LM) once again for finalization.
    The basis for the consideration is the LMs of the issue SOPR #294 of the 1st of August 2020

    The reasons why

  • we will not look beyond this LM are that we submitted our first licensing offer 5 years ago and since then considerable time has past and more substantial damage has occured and
  • we have updated the LM in the last years again and again are demands and foulplays of other entities.

    Stealing, conspiring, gambling, and delaying, as well as damaging the goals and even threatening the integrities of C.S. and our corporation, including our SOPR, will not be rewarded.

    The list of minimum fixed fees also exists to avoid price dumping and generating low or even no revenue.
    For example, the hardware part of a relatively complete handheld Ontoscope, which is now state of the art after 16 years, respectively the performance and reproduction of Ontoscope Components (OsC) will always cost at least 35 U.S. Dollar or so without the cost for the software part respectively the performance and production of Ontologic System Components (OSC) in the foreseeable future.

    The non-labelling option is up to +5% to the percentage of the licensee classes.

    The progressions of

  • up to 10% in case of OSC and other SoftWare (SW) and
  • up to 1% in case of OsC and other HardWare (HW)

    remain.

    {not already done} Our SOPR will also reverse the decision regarding the withdrawal of the discounts.
    The discounts remain, because we remembered that we introduced the discounts also for formal and legal reasons, specifically for the case that an entity would still like to debate about it and our Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory, As well as Customary (FRANDAC) terms and conditions together with a third party in a federal building.

    The license class SuperOAOS is related to infrastructure and a country respectively State-Owned Enterprise (SOE). But we are not sure if it makes sense and maybe the column will not be relevant for 10 to 15 years, if our SOPR gives no allowance and license for the performance and reproduction of Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS) for infrastructure.

    Main Contract Model (MCM) [Public tender]
    In fact, the initial designation of Main Contractors (MCs) in June 2021 was meant to provide an acceptable baseline and advantageous basis to accelerate the development under a common understanding and agreement. But its brilliance was not understood.
    Therefore, our SOPR is also considering to put the main contracts out to public tender.

    Main Contract Model (MCM) [Crypto platform]
    As an exit or transformation strategy, our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) submits the proposal, or better said, makes the offer that all those illegal crypto companies could also become a

  • business division of our corporation,
  • subsidiary of our corporation, or
  • Main Contractor (MC) of our SOPR,

    if they are qualified and fulfill the requirements.
    But we will not pay for the rights and properties of C.S. and our corporation, and also demand damage compensations, and also note that this strategy only works in the scope of our

  • Ontologic eXchange (OX or OntoX),
  • Universal Ledger (UL),
  • Trust Management System (TMS), and
  • Ontologic Financial System (OFinS), including our
    • Ontologic Bank (OntoBank), including our
      • Ontologic Payment System (OPS or OntoPay),
      • Ontologic Payment Processing System (OPPS), and
      • Ontologic Exchange (OEx or OntoEx),

    which also implies with official digital and virtual currencies, and

  • Articles of Association (AoA) and the Terms of Services (ToS) with the License Model (LM) and the Main Contract Model (MCM) of our SOPR.

    purchase price = valuation - our rights and properties - damage compensations
    At least 1 U.S. Dollar.

    Getting off of this with a blue or black eye is better than getting nothing or even subzero.

    Infrastructure [Safety and Security]
    We have no need to rethink the safety and security architecture, because we are already ready to go since years and continuing with the realization of the safe and secure infrastructures for, of, and in our Ontoverse (Ov), because the rest of the world is sleeping, gambling, blocking, or whatsoever.
    Guess why it is called cybersafety and cybersecurity with the prefix cyber standing for cybernetics.

    Our SOPR has also concluded that our activities in relation to common infrastructures of the public societies and our Societies improve the overall situation and even provide solutions for problems, which have emerged or have been recognized in the last past, by its design.

    Also note that no darknet exists in our Ontoverse (Ov).

    {not ready} Infrastructure [Universal Ledger (UL)] or Universal Ledger (UL)
    Our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) has already started the realization of the infrastructure with its set of fundamental

  • facilities (e.g. data centers, and exchange points or hubs),
  • technologies (e.g. systems and platforms),
  • goods (e.g. applications, devices, and vehicles), and
  • services

    for our Universal Ledger (UL) and also our Trust Management System (TMS), IDentity and Access Management System (IDAMS), and other subsystems and platforms of our infrastructures respectively Ontoverse (Ov) in all major economical zones.

    We already have integrated everything in our original and unique work of art titled Ontologic System and created by C.S., which is based on the fields of

  • Distributed System (DS), including
    • Distributed operating system,
    • Grid Computing (GC),
    • Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2PC),
    • etc.
  • resilience,
  • Byzantine resilience protocols, including
    • Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocols,
    • Byzantine-Resilient Replication (BRR) method,
    • etc.,
  • validated and verified, validating and verifying, and validatable and verifiable technologies, computing, etc.,
  • capability-based security, specifically
    • capability-based operating system,
  • smart contract transaction protocol,
  • blockchain technique,
  • polylogarithmically scalable and synchronizable Distributed Computing (DC) or Distributed System (DS),
  • Resilient Distributed System (RDS) respectively Challenge-Tolerant and Trustworthy Distributed System (CTTDS) (e.g. survivable (fault-tolerant), dependable (reliable), and performant (Quality of Service (QoS)),

    and also

  • identity,
  • governance,
  • election,
  • education,
  • finance,
  • justice,
  • medicine,
  • geography,
  • logistics,
  • Ontologic Net of Things (ONoT),
  • infrastructure operation,
  • etc., etc., etc..

    See for example the webpages

  • Overview and
  • Ontologic System Components (OSC),

    of our original and unique Ontologic System (OS), the incomplete summaries

  • on the website ontologics.info and
  • in the issue SOPR #327 of the 7th of June 2021

    of our infrastructures and their subsystems and platforms, and also Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS)

    graph-based allows side-chains
    cross-chain bridges are not needed, only message or remote procedure call
    We do not have and do not need separated networks, such as a special decentralized oracle network, like in the case of cross-chain bridges.

    our original and unique layered Ontologic System Architecture (OSA) and functions on Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocols and consensus algorithms, including the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus, etc.

  • operating layer for computing and networking with resilient centralized and distributed systems
  • network layer for communicating between the validators and our Communication and Collaboration System (CoCoS or Co²S)
  • liquidity network layer is reduced to a specific functionality of the messaging layer respectively communication and collaboration layer
  • consensus layer for negotiating and reaching consensus between the validators
  • oracle layer for storing off-chain raw signals and data, informations, and so on with or without smart contract transaction protocol
  • smart contract layer for programming, managing and orchestrating all OAOS smart contracts, which interact with any developer
  • OAOS layer for utilizing, managing and orchestrating all OAOS smart contracts, which interact with any user

    Our original and unique Virtual Machine (VM) blockchain, that offers programmable contracts using any VM smart contract and provides an environment, where any developer can use languages to program the way smart contracts read off-chain raw signals and data, informations, etc. respectively oracle jobs to provide specific off-chain raw signals and data, informations, etc., to smart contracts
    utilizing the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocols, and the Byzantine-Resilient Replication (BRR) method, and also the Paxos consensus protocols, etc., ensuring that reliable, tamper-proof external data is provided to any blockchain network is provided cost-effectively, economically, and quickly
    cross-chain bridge for transfer of digital and virtual assets between blockchains and users have full control on their digital and virtual rights and properties during the transfer
    real-time off-chain raw signals and data, informations, etc.

    Infrastructure [OFinS] or Ontologic Financial System (OFinS)
    Our Society for Ontological Performance and Reproduction (SOPR) has already started the realization of the infrastructure with its set of fundamental

  • facilities (e.g. data centers, and exchange points or hubs),
  • technologies (e.g. systems and platforms),
  • goods (e.g. applications and devices), and
  • services

    for our Ontologic Exchange (OEx or OntoEx) of our Ontologic Financial System (OFinS) in all major financial capitals.

    Furthermore, we are convincing more and more entities and are gathering more and more supporters, which include governments respectively states, because

  • it is always better to collaborate with us and
  • the fields of tension and power are already balanced.

    At least 2 powerful economical zones and some other entities even say we should begin with operation As Soon As Possible Or Better Said Immediately (ASAPOBSI).
    See also the section Ontologic Financial System (OFinS) [Digital money supply] of the issue #33m of the 2nd of May 2022.

    Infrastructure [CoCoS] or Communication and Collaboration System (CoCoS or Co²S)
    We have added another functionality of our Ontologic System Components (OSC) and related Ontologic Applications and Ontologic Services (OAOS) for the end users to our Communication and Collaboration System (CoCoS or Co²S).
    We are very sure, that most if not all members and licensees of our SOPR will be excited about both of them.

    Further steps

    As we noted, we are working on several ... things:

    The definition of our Ontologic Net (ON), Ontologic Web (OW), and Ontologic uniVerse (OV), which collectively are our Ontoverse (Ov) and New Reality (NR), is based on the summary of related statements, which does not add new matter.
    See the Clarification of the 13th of December 2021 and the related section in the Clarification of the 25th of December 2021.

    Corrections and updates of contents of this website, for sure without adding new matter.

    Further steps of the 21st of October 2022
    Universal Ledger (UL) is relatively easy, virtually ready, and must simply be written down (see section Infrastructure [Universal Ledger (UL)] or Universal Ledger (UL) of the issue SOPR #33q of the 10th of October 2022).
    HardBionics (HB) and SoftBionics (SB) is a little more complex. Ubiquitous Computing (UbiC) is straightforward and is related to the next point.

    We also made a short review in relation to the following keywords and main fields:

  • foundations of ON, OW, and OV
  • Client-Server (C-S), Cluster, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) (structured, unstructured, hybrid), structured (P2P) (e.g. DHT, tree and directory, zoning), unstructured P2P (e.g. message exchange, quadtree, hexagon, Voronoi and Delaunay, and other grids and ways of partitioning), BlackBoard (BB) (e.g. Tuple Space or TupleSpace (TS)), hybrid of C-S, hybrid of structured P2P and unstructured P2P, hybrid of C-S and P2P, hybrid of BB and P2P, Distributed TS (DTS), other hybrid systems, superpeer, super peer, supernode, or super node, aggregator, etc.,

      • Wide Area Network (WAN) SuperComputing (WANSC) or Interconnected SuperComputing (ISC),
    • Cluster Computing (CC or ClusterC),
    • Many-Task Computing (MTC),
    • etc.,
  • shared memory, Distributed Shared Memory (DSM), shared knowledge (e.g. Client-Server (C-S), BlackBoard (BB)), communal knowledge,
  • replication, consistency, synchronization, etc.,

    See the

  • Ontologic Net Further steps of the 18th of February 2019,
  • Ontologic Net Further steps of the 20th of February 2019, and
  • Ontologic Net Further steps of the 23rd of February 2019,

  • OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of the 10th of March 2019, and
  • OntoLix and OntoLinux Website update of the 12th of March 2019.

    Required are a DSM respectively virtual shared memory with

  • coordination
    • data-driven and
    • process-oriented
  • replication
    • data, and
    • process, and also
    • state, and
    • operation,
  • synchronization,
  • consistency
    • event-based,
    • update-based, and
    • customizable,
  • reliability,

    and a lot of other common functionalities and related tasks, applications, and services.

    The infrastructures of our SOPR are more than overlays built or layered on top of the

  • legacy infrastructures, which existed before the introduction of what is called Grid, Cloud, Edge, and Fog Computing (GCEFC), and
  • already existing parts of our OS with their individual overlays, structures, organizations, etc., which are separated from the other infrastructures, redundant, etc..

    It allows the seamless migration from the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW), the Metaverse, the Semantic (World Wide) Web (SWWW), the field of Grid Computing (GC), Object-Oriented (OO 1) paradigm, and so on to our ON, OW, OV respectively Ov and Ontologics.

    We expect that the digital part of the SOPR infrastructures have a size similar to the other digital infrastructures. So there is a lot of work and fun for everybody.
