Demand side technology and its principles.
          
History has favored the economic forces of supply side mechanisms, and for good reason.  This history has had many beneficial consequences, lifting individual quality of life for a large proportion of the human population.  However, since the supply side is overly dominate, the demand side has not developed mechanisms such as the control over capital and the definition of consumer products, as has the supply side.  This page develops definitions and extends the discussion of demand side principles as introduced in slide 4 of the Power Point "Bridge to the Future". 

The demand side involves all individuals and their complex human interiors, sense of self and individualism, and the reactions that arise if needs are not "satisfied" by a supply side. These reactions could unsettle the entire economic and cultural system.  The consequences arising from the supply side mismatch must be a concern for those with influence on capital formation and consumer fulfillment mechanisms. Understanding these consequences has been a challenge. 

"Demand side is more difficult to describe because causative forces are  distributed and involves many individuals."

From: Elements and Principles of Demand Side Theory" Note 9 *<*>

The situation in 2009 is complex, since a number of social or economic factors are entwined.  In our analysis, our concept of consumerism is placed under a light and certain negative consequences are observed.  As mentioned, capital formation appears to be over controlled and thus serving too much the well specified private interests of wealthy individuals.  A class of mechanism that balance the individual influences across the entire population would seem to be from first principles democratic, and yet the demand side is defined only in terms of supply.  Without an viable alternative economic system, and theory, we are left only with unproductive criticisms of a status quo. 

This alternative economic system is proposed as viable when a new technology is placed into the public domain.  The new technology empowers a voluntary shift from the use of the Wild West Internet to a Clean Slate Internet.  This clean slate is to come with security and separable stratum where security and transparency is defined with precision in term of civil laws. 

(1) Demand side technology

(1a) Distributed data is universally organized using a key-less hash table.

A single global index: The key-less hash table is based on a simple patent (Gruenwald 2001) and derivatives that use base 64 numbers to represent any ASCII text (in English alphabet).   Using this simple conversion, unique text strings are "sameAs" unique numbers and thus a natural order is implicate. Each possible text string has a single place in that order, even if not used anywhere.  A global virtual index exists without the need to state the index, since this index is ordered using the order implicit in the natural counting numbers, and various mappings including to the real numbers existing between 0 and 1.  Two such data sets may be combined easily, and a data set may be separated easily.

The natural order is without any bias and thus serves as an important level playing field for a new ecosystem of competitive market forces. Once adopted, the index is universal in that "James" is always located in exactly the same "place". 

Semantic index: The natural order of the positive integers is a structural index, not a semantic index, but situationally coherent semantics may be overlaid easily.  Semantic "arithmetic" may be easily associated with formally specified abstract ontology, and/or the less formal topic map web knowledge representation standards. Moreover the vitally important mechanism for reconciliation of terminology differences is a simple matter of creating and maintaining a wiki type dictionary.  Meaning is managed by the community of communities using mechanisms discussed below.  Explanatory coherence is used to identify compositional grammar useful in automating the formation and evolution of this single universal dictionary.  *<*>

World wide interlingua is developed as a consequence of global use of this wiki type universal dictionary.  This world wide interlinqua may be equipped with a sub-stratum generative set of structural atoms with one to one correspondances to data and process specification, such as developed in at least one private instance.  A general theory of language regarding such sub-stratum generative layers is provided in the work by Adi <*>.

The structural index is associated with ways of organizing data using the concept of a semantic tensor, derived from work by Gruenwald, which acts like a linear transform in Hilbert space, except that the basis elements are not orthogonal, i.e., they may be wavelet or wavelet like;  *wiki definitions*<*>.  The semantic tensor is grounded in a framework where two or more enumerated sets of focus elements are used in forming a cross product, see parallel to demand side learning theory in *<*>.

Unexpected innovation: The simple concept of a key-less hash creates an very small data foot-print index-less repository for human text.  Each word has a unique location defined in the mathematical concept of the set of real number.  This mathematical concept allows any of the linear algebra transformations that are well understood and from which there are specific silicon based processors. 

Secondary data structuring may be consistently created using a single matrix operator.  Other fast and simple results as usable from classical mathematics, in particular the Hilbert type mathematics and from Lie algebras.  For example, the ability to take a very large set of numbers and convolve, or integrate using the calculus concept of integration, allows the complete structural analysis of the relationship between two large data sets in a single pass over the data.  This feature of key-less hash encoded data sets allows the theoretical notion that large datasets may in fact be encoded as frequency and propagated as single electromagnetic wave bursts, and that convolutions may be performed by observing the interference patterns as waves occupy the same space (outside the processor).  This paradigm maps to the theory, created by Pribram and his colleagues, regarding cognitive structural processing by brain systems. 


Instant retrieval: The use of the Grunwald patent creates a means to instantly locate where data ought to be, in case a specific data string is not in the data base; and the data itself if the data is in the data base.  The means to locate is based on a very simple use of the notion of order.  As mentioned above this order is explicit in the positive counting numbers. 

Unbreakable encoding:  Elementary number theory may be directly applied to produce cryptographic encoding that may not be broken in fixed time.  This feature when combined with the property of generative stratum* creates a security regime necessary for guaranteed structural encapsulation of separable communicative stratum.  The assertion is thus made that security becomes measurable and that instrumentation allows legal measurement with notification to any process that is being measured.  This is a complex paradigm that brings cyber intrusion on pare with legal search jurist prudence.  Technically, e.g. if set up properly, no search may be done at any time anywhere in the new Internet without notice of the search in real time.  The only search that might be legal is by the government when there is a court order.  So this feature would effectively end the Wild West Internet quality when in the Clean Slate Internet. 


Equipped with plausible reasoning:  The key-less has is used to create an ontology referential base with inferential coherence.  The explanation of this is not so immediate, and for now I make reference only to *<*> <*> <*>

(1b) Iconic self organizing interface language, provides the most natural means to define computing processes, data structure and human interactions with computing systems.

Innovations supporting Transaction Memory creates natural design time standards for grid processing.  This work is discussed under the name "sub-stratum computing" and "sub-stratum language". 

As discussed above, Deep Packet Inspection is part of what creates a security regime with 100% instrumentation. With generative stratum, the inspection allows control over who may see the transactions, with notice to all uses of this inspection capability.  Inspection is technical easy, given the right codes, but is also easily seen with any process that knows the codes for a specific generative stratum. 

Stratification, e.g. sub-stratum computing, creates a natural language-like mechanism for the recognition of novelty.

(2) Demand side educational practice

Demand side educational practice is Socratic and participatory and overcomes learned disability causes by a broken educational system.  Ontological modeling of curriculum focus elements may be mapped to K-12 focus elements and to the ontology of mathematics and science.
