Where Does Data Come From?
Joe Kowalski
Has anyone else ever wondered?
Since 1989 a small self funded research team (2 guys with a total of
forty-five years of DP experience between them) has been investigating
the origins of data. We developed a theory of information and the
beginings of an algorithm that demostrates mathematically the moment of
data creation.
The results are exciting. The outcome is predictible and the process is
reproducible.
Using the knowledge from this effort we have designed, built and tested
a "post relational" "non object oriented" storage structure that out
performs anything we have ever seen. We built a working architecture
that allows us to create complex programs in hours instead of days or
weeks.
We call the theory "Data Mechanics". With Data Mechanics we can
describe the natural and man made processes that result in the
origination of data.
I can tell you that data comes into being without the use or aid of
computers. I can tell you that current computer data structures are
contrary to "natural" data structures. I can tell you much more but I
need to know if anyone wants to hear what I have to say.
I want to start a dialoge with members in the newsgroups community and
discuss the merits, if any, of this invention/discovery. In the future,
I will need your help and input to answer some important questions.
1. Can a new approach be accepted if it deviates radically from
traditional ideas?
2. Can others see the potential of this discovery and will they be
as excited as we are?
3. What is the best forum for presenting and discussing this
material?
4. Is it feasible to redesign hardware and software architectures
to take advantage of this discovery?
If you are interested I can send you a paper on the subject titled "The
Life Interaction Model, Data Mechanics, and The Tri-temporal Universal
Database Key.
However, I should warn you... we sent the monograph to 75 computer
researchers and got zip for our efforts! Correction, I heard from 2
persons. One (Richard Snodgrass) sent a single page letter back
(thank you Richard, for taking the time) and said it was interesting
reading and went on to challenge our time observations. The other
(someone from Berkeley the name escapes me) said thanks for the paper,
I'll read it later... That was a year ago.
I truely believe that this is an important discovery.
Thanks,
