Open Web Mind

Every node in Open Web Mind has an ID.

The ID for an apple is e.zKO. The ID for the Earth is a.E. The ID for Albert Einstein is p.Einstein.

Most of the time, you don’t need to think about these IDs.

But it’s important that every node have one, so that there’s a unique way to refer to it.

Here’s how Open Web Mind IDs work, from the simplicity of mind.node to the complexity of a Linear Congruential Generator meeting the requirements of the Hull-Dobell Theorem.

I’ve always enjoyed creating visualizations.

The trouble is, it takes a really long time to create these visualizations: research the topic, collate the data, source the images, design the layout and code the animation.

I’ve long dreamed of a tool that would do all the hard work for me.

So I made one.

Open Web Mind allows you to visualize nodes... nodes that can represent anything: mountains, colours, people, anything.

In plot view, it allows you to control precisely where each node appears along x-, y- and z-axes.

You can create visualization based on any values, from traditional periodic tables to revealing relationships... between elements’ abundance and atomic number, planet’s density and distance from the sun, anything.

Playing around in plot view, you’ll find that Open Web Mind doesn’t just help you see.

It helps you think.

The knowledge hypergraph is all about edges between nodes.

But it’s not just about relationships between entities.

It has cold, hard numbers, too.

If you’ve been impressed by what you can do with the relationships between entities in Open Web Mind, you’re going to be blown away by what you can do when you throw in those cold, hard numbers.

Open Web Mind is a knowledge hypergraph that holds all human knowledge.

But it’s not a monolith.

It’s made up of many individual minds.

Each mind is its own knowledge hypergraph. Each has different edges, but these edges are between the same nodes.

Which means you can meld your mind with other minds, and think as if your mind and those other minds were one.

Open Web Mind is a billion knowledge hypergraphs that hold a billion individuals’ and institutions’ knowledge, melded into a combinedknowledge hypergraph that holds all human knowledge.

It’s a billion minds, melded into humanity’s mind.

Open Web Mind is a hypergraph of nodes and hyperedges.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

It’s the simplest protocol ever.

So how can something so simple hold something as complex as humanity’s mind?

I’ve talked about edges in Open Web Mind, representing connections between nodes.

But there’s a more precise way to represent connections in Open Web Mind.

Hyperedges.

Hyperedges are what make Open Web Mind a truly powerful way to capture human knowledge.

They transform the knowledge graph into the knowledge hypergraph.

I first imagined minds that might augment our own some three decadesago.

Yes, I really am that old, and I have the grey hair to prove it.

So why, three decades later, is it finally the right time for a mind for all humanity?

Why now?

Here are three reasons why the time is ripe for Open Web Mind:

• Reason #1: Search is dead
• Reason #2: Smash the system
• Reason #3: Seeing is believing

How do you think?

Fire.

The billions of neurons in your brain fire trillions of times a second.

How do you think in Open Web Mind?

Same answer.

Fire.

If you go to any web page, chances are you’ll find it’s written in the wrong language.

It shouldn’t be written in English.

Or Japanese.

Or Arabic.

The web shouldn’t be written in any language spoken by humans.

It shouldn’t mimic the way we speak.

It should mimic the way we think.

Why is it so hard to flow from one thing to another on the web?

In our minds, we flow so easily from one motion to the next, one feeling to the next, one idea to the next.

Why can’t it be like this when we’re on the web?

Why can’t we flow as easily through our collective mind?

Well, with Open Web Mind, we can.
