I am thinking of working with the main idea of a 25 year old software product and putting some of the ideas on a blockchain.
I've pasted some of the theory below, that can be found at the website here:
http://www.paramind.net/paraphrs.htmlThe Meaningful Exhaustion of the Interaction of Words and Symbols
Ideas are built of an interlocking of meanings.
Meanings can be represented by symbols.
For us, these symbols have become words.
When we want to express an idea, all we do is pick words that represent the different meanings and lock them together in an interaction of words that we call a sentence.
We then lock sentences together in paragraphs and put them in books, magazines, or other literary forms.
We have formalized the conceptualization of meaning into locked blocks called ideas.
We then catalogue valid ideas, and other ideas we put together as nonsense, neologisms, science-fiction and poetry.
What we don't see is that valid ideas can start off as nothing more complex than words.
Since our dictionary is a collection of words which are the units of ideas, and our library contains the contents of the dictionary organized in different intelligible ways, there could be more books written which would simply be our dictionary's words organized in different intelligible ways.
This work proposes that by stimulating the creation of new interactions of words, we can find all manners of new ideas. We do this by simply exhausting the interactions of words in ways that make sense.
Ideas frequently come many decades before they are accepted as being valid ideas.
New ideas can almost always be stated in words from our own dictionary or in combinations of the old parts of words such as suffixes and prefixes.
We can further illustrate this with the fact that some floppy disc drive terminology was already present with us when Edison invented the phonograph. Someone back then could logically have seen the idea of the present personal computer if they looked at concepts such as the phonograph, the typewriter, and the motion picture. They just needed to combine the ideas all together, perhaps even with ideas of how the human brain works for memory, and start to think of new possible ideas that might have some value.
We can get at a framework for the meaningful exhaustion of the interaction of words if we draw out the basic linguistic truth that ideas can be broken down into words, and different interactions of words equal different ideas. This theory states that it is useful to look at this idea philosophically. By an exhaustion of the interaction of words, we can theoretically discover many new ideas available to us.
This is the premise of the meaningful or purposeful exhaustion of the interaction of words.
Linguistics, while adding to the side of computer understanding of language, has made a complex introduction to the gateways to Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion (hereby referred to as MWIE) thought.
If we get into an essentially useless (and ignorant in a MWIE way) linguistic quagmire, we are missing the point of finding tools that have practical value.
When we look at linguistics such as semiotics, syntax, or semantics, we find a study as dedicated as computer programming or brain surgery.
MWIE extracts only what is needed from these studies in linguistics, and never is imposed upon by that which is dedicated merely to preserving the study of describing language.
MWIE Theory should take guidelines from grammar and syntax studies.
Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion, when used in hard science, must be done by people with training in that area.
That is, one does not have to be a learned linguist to invent ideas with the merge method of Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion; the fact is that we will develop learning methods after we use the program.
A combination of units, called words, whose meanings we simply find in the dictionary, produces things called ideas, whose purpose and value differ in degrees of intensity.
People using the technique of Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion could map out these degrees of value and purpose.
Combining words together creates new meanings out of the words that have a single meaning when in relationship with those items.
The point that each word is very simply defined can be seen when we break down the sentence: "The old analog music synthesizers refined their sounds by using voltage controlled filters."
This simple way of using consensual definitions is used in conceptualizing the purpose and possibility of Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion.
Linguistic studies have validity here when one has gotten to the point already of accepting Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion's basic premise of it being possible to create beneficial ideas artificially. Linguistic studies can be used in merging an expert system rule base in the program's output, which would filter through the output and retain the more of the meaningful and important statements.
Advanced linguistic studies can be introduced fruitfully to create criteria for lexicons for indexing patterns that would produce meaningful merges.
Idea Lists
A key sentence is the first sentence that you start a paramind merge out on.
They are chosen for their richness of direction for the merge technique.
If we can have an ordered, encyclopedic set of records of single words, or well-calculated phrases, and put them into a meaningful and semantically rich "key sentence," we can achieve an accumulation of useful ideas.
Our future knowledge will be similar to our present knowledge in the way present knowledge is similar to past knowledge.
Therefore the first task is to extract key sentences from our present language and mutate them with different relative terminologies.
The relative terminologies have different indexing criteria, and some may be very creatively linked, that is, not apparently related to the key sentences, or the secondary areas that the key sentence mutates into.
The key sentence is the region of meaning mutated, and the secondary area is the present area one is branching off toward.
The MWIE work at first might be difficult if one doesn't have anything one wants to discover.
Therefore, one must find some good key sentences to work with.
This is the first stage of the work, as important as sterilizing equipment is to the hospital team.
One can find these key sentences anywhere there is any text that has a good enough syntactic and semantic structure that can lend itself to the Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion method: that of expansion by the addition of new words at certain points in the key sentence.
These merge points may be weak points, they may be strong points. They are any point into which the user can see a new stream of thought going.
These new streams of thought are basically the growth of the entirety of valid ideas.
One should keep a good supply of these key sentences by one whenever one sits down at the program to brainstorm.
They will come from whatever source one finds interesting, whether it is lines from a favorite poet, sentences from the writings of social activists such as Martin Luther King, text from theoretical or practical science, or anything else that one normally reads or thinks about.
A word category is a list of words, symbols, or phrases that ParaMind uses for its brainstorming techniques.
An idea list is the result of a ParaMind merge.
This idea list database must contain a database of ideas that are new, useful, and unique -- ideas which are not quite incorporated into our present world.
Science fiction novels are a great source for such ideas.
Idea-lists from this "new, useful, and unique" idea database would produce valuable library findings. Thousands of variations of science-fiction ideas which have only been touched upon in a few sentences by science-fiction authors can be explored and modified by people ranging from poets to physicists.
Reason for the Library
A complete dictionary contains all the words that the books of our library contain.
Our libraries are merely the intelligent interactions of the words of our dictionary in logically meaningful ways.
If we were to exhaust the logical meaningful interactions of our words, we would come up with new discoveries that we are bound to stumble upon in the future by pre-existing means.
One could then institute a library of the findings with proper indexing and circulate the findings.
Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion is the literature concerned with the exhaustion of the interactions of words and the introduction of new words to symbolize the new ground covered by MWIE's treatment of ideas as a plastic medium.
The techniques involved in MWIE are an important problem in the successful usage of this new science, which in some ways is a science based on the fusion of literature and mathematics.
However, in comparison with other factors, such as the prejudice towards treating ideas as a plastic medium, and the lack of examples of the fruits of Meaningful Word Interaction Exhaustion, the several techniques of mutating sentences into different sentences are a simple aspect to understand.
The description of a MWIE library is the factor in understanding MWIE, which is helpful to understand the long-range scope of the technique.
Description of the Library
The prototype of this library, which would be a veritable information factory, would have two main functions.
One would be the generation of sentence mutations and the other would be the indexing of the sentences and mutations.
The library could employ a staff who would circulate a journal of their findings.
The size of the library would depend whether or not to make it physical or virtual.
Both the new generation functions and the indexed results would contain indexed sources, because the new generation of functions would operate on previous merged outputs.
The computer room would contain a computer which would often be in the process of switching words into a key sentence chosen by a programmer. These outputs could be stored and searched as needed.
Other computers would be employed in also doing this type of work, or would be used for indexing purposes.
