Interesting idea, Sandy. We worked on a programming language stored in relational form, but we also stored instance class identifiers and object identifiers in hexadecimal code, stored numbers in columns, and string lists. Each type was stored in a different file. No one look at these files except for the programming language developers. I developed the C++ import/export utilities and continue to advocate that. It's C++ which is similar to JSON or XML. No control structures to speak of in the input or output. We used text because our programming language dealt with EDI documents, Dates, and numbers, but you seem to be referencing something beyond that.
Are you thinking of something that won't have a standard structure like this? Something without classes, instances/objects, strings and numbers, and arrays? Maybe something stored in qubits?
Indeed, it seems like you are thinking of something besides bits for storage, like storing choreographic movements in proteins or molecules or something more energetic, like electro-magnetic loops and networks. Even strong-force and weak-force come to mind, or storage in gravity form. Is there anything else? Dark Matter/Energy Programming?
How does the brain store "programs" or "recipes" or "procedures" like a peace officer or firefighter might follow? Do we take in and regurgitate stuff like large language models (LLMs) do?
Please describe cubeware more fully, if you are still working on it.
I think about storing programs in Google Maps, for example. But I think that's stored with conventional technology. I am thinking about stuff like Neuromancer/Count Zero where important data is stored and extract from "brains" or LLMs.
Thanks,
