KM Labs : Knowledge Management Technologies

There are really some great news! …;)   As a Century ago, Einstein received the Nobel Prize and the universal recognition for his works on space-time theories on nuclear physics, these discoveries and knowledge created the startup of a new era for energy management and a revolution in the conception of our universe.

But we have now a new revolution – and bigger actually – The UFT (Unified Field Theory) !

It is very strange to look at how centuries of education, religions and culture’ stillnesses have biased “complexity” in narrow-minded fields of knowledge and therefore failed to get scientific truth about our universe. .. And it is very strange to find today proves from very old civizlations, like Mayas, Indians, or the Templiars Legend, that this knowledge or wisdom of Unified Field probably existed already thousands of years ago (*) ...

So Nassim Haramein has discovered the ultimate form of our Universe – the Vector Equilibirum

At The Resonance Project Foundation , where I invite you to participate - he has developed a Unified Field Theory sometimes referred as the Haramein-Rauscher metric which describes spacetime with the inclusion of a fundamental dynamic as a source for spin at all scales.

He says, “instead of looking for fundamental particles, we should start looking for a fundamental principle of DIVISION, we should show up the pattern of CREATION”.  

…And this becomes magic !

Because it shows that the biological resolution is the link between the huge and the small ! “Everything we see in the universe is just Division of the energy density in various states”. 

So we are the “event arisers”, the link between the infinitelvey small and the infinitively big !

  AND WE HAVE NOW THE KEY !!

The « Seamless Web » can be defined as the complex graph linking everything to everything in the universe through the time. So it is also a « system of systems » but the approach is different from the complex systems theory. As It links here without seam intentional and unintentional systems or processes. It is actually a more global approach than the complex systems theory, defining each system as a combination of structures, functions and evolution, but can be completed this way.

Technosphere and environment are here described through a « network actor model » (cf NAT (Network Actor Theory). We have to consider each element ubiquitous (chaotic reality). For instance, your keyboard or your mouse is part of your technosphere but they also exists in the global environment. The difference is a user centric point of view : if you can control your mouse or your keyboard (technosphere), then you can for instance use the internet environment. On the other way, the same reality can be either in or out of the technosphere depending on the position of the central actor.

As points out Timber Neslee, blogging about the Social Graph as does also Alex Iskold, who discusses social graphs and network theory (like network topology,) in general, “users want to own their own social graphs”. And “There is a "Social Network Portability" community. Its not the Social Network Sites that are interesting -- it is the Social Network itself. The Social Graph. The way I am connected, not the way my Web pages are connected.” (Timber Neslee)

« Social graph » is also the point of view of Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook. He says « it is the whole relations of all the people in the world. There is only one and nobody owns it ».

So we could extend the concept of « Social Graph » to this concept of « Actor Graph », which is not also including Social Graph as the graph between Human Systems, but the graph between all things that would be linked in the real world, for example, Technology, Economy, Cultural an Natural Systems, …as these systems are all « Seamless » in the real world. It is a transdisciplinary world !

The Technosphere model is choosen because it considers the user (you, me, and everybody!) into Network-centric operations (NCO) model. This concept can trace its origins to 1996 when Admiral William Owens introduced the concept of a “system of systems” in a paper of the same name published by the Institute National Security Studies. But Technology as the “General Technology”, so not only the physical objects, but the cultural organisation also, - as technology - , is a new concept for NCO.

Human action shapes technology and technology determines human action. There is so an important challenge for the world society : the SCOT (Social Construction of Technology), and this is reflected each time people work together. So this model should help social-networks to shape their reality and the one of others.

In the Digital Earth framework, standards foundations are : domains, disciplines’content and applications. >We have so our Environments (domains) and the Technology (Disciplines, datas, Applications ...are functional structures !) The model is directed to and from physical technologies : the Net we normally use as short for Internet, is also moving towards the International Information Infrastructure (III). It is a natural evolution because the largest Technosphere we have is our Global Environment !

Digital Earth Framework 

It is not in the official news of the GEO (Group on Earth Observations), but the GEOSS Search Engine (GEOPORTAL) was launched ! 

Derived from ESA's Earth Observation Community Portal (EO Portal), this contribution will put the accent on remote sensing, geospatial-static and in-situ data, with web services information. You can for instance overlay satellite datas to Google Earth !

Another update about the Metaverse project : a workshop conference is organised at Stanford University this 15 february. Objectives : exploring the spectrum of technologies and applications identified in the Roadmap. Functions : augmentation to simulation; and intimate (identity-focused) to external (world-focused), Applications : lifelogging, augmented reality, mirror worlds and virtual worlds. It is not a Roadmap Summit, but rather a further exploration of the ideas, and a chance for people in the field to connect and converse, and to prepare a full Summit in 2009 or 2010.

Contributions to the GEOSS project (GEOSS : Global Earth Observation System of Systems) we already talked about here are being made by the IEEE who leads the effort in developping standards for the 4 core functions :

FUNCTIONS are the following :

- Observation

- Processing

- Storage

- Dissemination

The IEEE is also publishing 2 journals on Earth Observation : earthzine (since DEC 07) and next summer J-STARS (Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observation and Remote Sensing) .  This is Neogeography for Neogeographers !

It seems also the GEOSS search engine we previously talked about into this post has not been launched yet. Any update about this project would be welcome...

Google is teaming since september 2007 with the X Prize foundation to launch a commercial race to the Moon with a $30 million incentive.  To win the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a team must successfully land a privately funded craft on the lunar surface and survive long enough to complete the mission goals of roaming about the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending a defined data package, called a “Mooncast”, back to Earth.

0n FT Predict (Financial Times Predict), the games are openned. The Google Lunar X Prise to be won before 2012 can be bet on or off. It is a volatile value.

A quite different subject than the usual prediction games of FT.com like the pakistani national election date or the possible US + Israel Air Strike over Iran prediction date for 2008...

Google Moon already exist. Images are from the NASA, as well as for Google Space. But if you look for Google Lunar, everything is not ready.

If interested, you can join and apply for a job on the moon, at he Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (GCHEESE) ! 

By Locating a research and technology center on The Moon (Googlunaplex), Google engineers will be able to experiment with an entirely different set of parameters and conditions.

The Googlunaplex will house 35 engineers, 27,000 low cost web servers, 2 massage therapists and a sushi chef formerly employed by the pop group Hanson.

following the IEEE Committee on Earth Observation, a new search engine portal and dataclearinghouse for environmental datas, including  "not just datas from Earth-observing satellites, but also terrestrial sensors datas, population figures, and regional health and ecosystem information" should be launched next November with the GEOSS (Global Earth Observation Systems of Systems) program. This technology will benefit the entire community, creating a social geo referential, that looks a bit more advanced than the common Google Earth Mashups.
