Computer generated stratum

(still under edit, Dec 5th)

Neural transmitters regulate neuronal functions.  The generation of neural transmitters arises from cascades of molecular events in a way that may be compared with cell signal pathway propagation *<*>.  Stratum generated natural language expression is theorized to arise in this same way.  The stratum is a layer of physical organization such as the atomic stratum, from which all chemical compounds are generated. A second example of a stratum is the set of phonemic atoms from which an individual human generates all speach. 

The theory of language is a very difficult field where controversy always plays a controlling part of scholarship.  The concept of a generating stratum is even more controversial, and yet comes into clear relief when the concept is envisioned as a part of a global computer architecture. *<*>  Since such an architecture does not have an implementation as yet, we have to rely on metaphor and theoretical discussions. 

The absence of an examplar stratum generated communication system is only part of our current reality.  The concept of a new Internet software infrastructure is not so easy to understand, as we see from the processes attempting to establish a semantic web, and a "clean slate" Internet. Our work suggests that ownership over basic fomalism is a concern that can be resolved (see below). 

One thing is clear, and that a cultural transformation may be under way.  The theoritical possibilities we discuss in these notes (www.secondschool.net) are placed into the context of this cultural transformation. 

The demand side and education infrastructure

In the previous notes, see index *, we have developed an exposition of issues related to demand side theory, primarily as applied to the American crisis in education.  Demand side theory is contrasted with a mainstream educational theory based on the works of John Dewey, and as influenced by the modern supply side markets and the philosophical grounding of so called supply side economic theory.  A specific global computer architecture is thought to be necessary and sufficient for the development of demand side market economies, a concept that is now being developed as a means to balance world wide commodity usage.  These market economies depend on the individual having natural language like control over interactions within transactions spaces, many of which are manifest as communicative acts.  Thus the global architecture must have a property that decentralizes control over creativity and productivity.

The design of computer processes is deemed the central challenge targeted by this new computer architecture.  The Resilience Project *<*> proposes a federal investment process in which software design is freed of underlying control over what are essentially mathematical formalism.

IP mapping

This freeing of property would be done through the specification of computing theory, as a subset of mathematics.  In out proposal, the specification is to be done using an iconic based interface language, one generated by a sub-stratum architecture. 

Software that is now overly complicated, expensive and constantly changing may be replaced with simple, stable and free computing processes.  These processes will be what is studied in high school and college, and will form the foundation to a new communication and production infrastructure. 

One consequence is that a new publicly owned infrastructure will empower educational processes defined as a balance between supply and demand.  This federal investment would be focused at transforming our educational institutions, and in encouraging scholarship in fields related to decentralization technology and a new green manufacturing sector. 

This brings us back to the topic of computer generated stratum.  The core innovation required by the Resilience Project is computer generated stratum language, as this is the medium within which the specification of standard computer transactions are to be made.

The use of natural language as a model for computing control

This technology is easy to understand if one understands how some scholars
*<*> believe a person speaking comes to speak what is spoken. Many religious persons believe that in prayer one's thoughts are structured in a particular fashion, as if the communication were with a Divine sense.  Such sense of communication is reported as experienced in all religious faiths.  The religious sense is also reported in creative acts such as in the production of art, in dance and similar acts. 

In natural language we have a sub-stratum in at least two senses.  One is seen in the so called double articulation of phonetics combinations in the production of speech.  *<*> The other sense is in a morphogenetic process in which thought itself is formulated.  Might it be possible to extend from a particular theory of language
*<*> to a general theory of language?  Such extension would involve known science about memory mechanisms and the mechanisms involving private and social intentions.   This is what has been achieved by innovations proposed to be supported as part of the Resilience Project.

Language may not be the only place where generative stratum have come to exist. One may look at the fashion in which chemical reactions are occurring, and metabolic processes transform and undergo transformations.  The fashion in which reactions and processors are occurring might be considered to be a type of "computing" which forms the basis for human thought.  In a less mystical sense, the science suggests that
organizational sub-strata are involved in the production of concepts as expressed in natural language. This sense is part of the human experience.   

In fact the "set" of phonetic atoms that one person uses is not the same as the set of phonetic atoms that some other person uses.  Each of us uses a different organizational strata in order to produce the speak sounds used in communication.  All of us; however, do speak using a substrate determined by a complex set of cascade processes.

Natural language, whatever its origin and support, functions very well.  Scholars are inclined to see natural language as if generated by mechanism both internal and external to one human.  Of course, human language depends on the existence of a social structure.  The mechanisms related to memory, perception and anticipation by one human individual are also involved.  Computer generated stratum is seen as a means to extend and enhance these mechanisms.
