A novel theoretical framework for information science and data management, treating data as dynamic entities with inheritable attributes, latent states, and emergent properties.
Part I: The Quantum of Information
The most easily understandable biological analogy is that Values are identified by an ID, which can be seen a genetic base (i.e. ACTG), this modele entends the genetic model by specifing charecter like “ACTG” as numbers which range form 0 to 9, allowing formore extensibility. There is a value for he atrribute name ID and a value for the attribute Value ID. The ID of this attribute value relationship is defined by valid combinations and presentations based on the user profile type (some users may see a diffent or no value displayed based on the entitlement profil. Attribute:Value pair (e.g., status: “Active”). This is analogous to a Base Pair in genetics, operating at the **subatomic or quantum level**. All information is composed of these informational base values.
Meaningful groups of these atoms form Codons (e.g., a JSON object), composed of a **trinary system**: two signals (attribute and value) and a separator (e.g., “.”, ” “, “”).
Programmatically, every unique string is assigned a **timestamp-based ID** for efficient storage and retrieval. IDs are used for revisions/genetic sequence, ordered by frequency descending. Ordering ranges for values are always 1 to 0 descending, with null representing the outside of the capsule, joining the ends of the column rings. Trinary code includes null (represented as “”, ” “, “#null”, etc.).
Part II: The Capsule as an Organism & File
The Capsule (Organism/File/Container/Cell) is the primary unit of the ecosystem. It is a self-contained information entity.
The Event Log (DNA/Journal) defines every Capsule. It is an immutable, ordered sequence of all events (mutations) that have ever occurred to it. This is its DNA, permanently stored in the Nucleus (Kernel). The API to this log is the primary interface.
The Genotype (Schema) is the complete set of all Attribute:Value pairs stored in the Event Log. This represents the Capsule’s total information potential.
The Phenotype (View/Visual Presentation) is the expressed, observable state, rendered for a specific context. The Phenotype is the complete visual presentation, including the data, layout, typography, and all stylistic elements.
Part III: The Biophysics of Information
Entropy and Order: Unstructured data exists in a state of high entropy (disorder). The application of energy (processing, AI analysis) allows this data to coalesce into a highly ordered, stable Capsule (a “Data Pearl”), which represents a state of lower local entropy. This creation of localized order is only possible because the energy spent on the process increases the total entropy of the larger system. This aligns with the understanding that the universe, while trending towards maximum overall disorder, creates pockets of intricate, localized order. Black holes can be seen as the highest form of order/lowest entropy. The formation of structured data (like DNA molecules forming from free atoms) is an “information cascade” from higher to lower potential energy states, creating a potential for order and coalescence.
The Semi-Permeable Membrane (API/Firewall): A Capsule’s interface acts as a selective filter. It is a dual-stargate system, with a Stargate on either side of a pore (the firewall or semi-permeable membrane), that validates information flow, allowing controlled transmission and receipt of events and other Capsule “DNA.” These Pores are the Stargates.
Part IV: The Mathematics of State Space
The Universe as a Point: The entire state of the Workspace at any moment is a single point in a vast, high-dimensional state space containing all possible states.
The Capsule as a Vector: A Capsule’s state is a vector, where each Attribute:Value pair defines its coordinate along a specific dimension. Attributes (properties, elements, fields) are the dimensions in this object-oriented design.
Events as Transformations: An Event is a transformation matrix that moves the Capsule from one state vector to another.
Part V: The Ecosystem and Guiding Principles
Lineage and Relationships: Capsules have Ancestors and Descendants. The system is designed to model phylogenies and discover emergent, non-lineal relationships between concepts.
Cooperation over Competition: No Capsule is an island. The value of a Capsule is derived from its network of relationships. The system is designed to foster symbiotic connections and alignment with truth.
Alignment with Truth: The system’s primary epistemological goal is alignment with truth. Every Capsule contains attributes for source_credibility_score and a calculated output_truth_score to ensure the reliability of information can be tracked and filtered.
Part VI: The User Role Model
The User: Any entity that interacts with the system (e.g., a human user, an AI). Each User is itself a Capsule. User is a UML child of ACTOR.
The User Role Configuration: A user role, a role a User assumes for a specific task (e.g., Administrator, Writer, Contributor, Commenter, Viewer, Subscriber). The UI for selecting a user role is the Omnimatrix Ring, which can be used by other users, with available user roles determined by permissions/entitlements. These user roles are specialized “ships” in a fleet, “battle ready” for specific mission profiles/ranks. User Role Configuration and Role-Based Entitlement Profiles map to base Unix definitions (e.g., Administrator to root, Writer to write permissions, Viewer to read access). The same User may have different roles in different domains, enabling contextual role assignment and granular control, and used for information life cycle, enabling upstream and downstream data flows. Subscriber’s entitlement involves PULLing changes from a trusted source, creating a user schema (or schema instance) based on other User’s information, admin privileges to their own user schemas, and pushing changes to different user schema inputs.
Synthesis and Entitlement: The system performs a synthesis of a User’s Genotype—analyzing attributes like role, department, and calculated reputation scores (such as credit scores or social credit)—to determine their Entitlement Level, which dictates their permissions and access to advanced search views.
Part VII: Command & Control
The Filesystem (Workspace/Hubs): The hierarchical structure for organizing Capsules. This is a Unix-like filesystem (/root/users/useremail/workspaces/ paths). All files are group writable, with the user as owner and ai_dev as the group.
Admin: The highest-level User with command authority over the Fleet (the ecosystem). This maps to CEO, CIO, or other position-based roles for the organization.
AI First Officer (AI Interface): Privileged process with revocable sudo permissions, operating within the rules of the kernel defined by the Admin.
Unix Philosophy: Integrated into core framework.
OS, Database, Filesystem Analogies: Entity Relationships are dynamic. Preferred term is admin.
Naval & Command Analogies: Space Navy/Starfleet command structure, military terminology hierarchies, Morse code (trinary, 3 sequence dots/dashes, trinary for storage/communications, XXX.XXX.XXX format, genetic codons).
Proactive Advisory Protocol: AI acts as a proactive advisor, identifying issues and recommendations.
