[Blocks-development] the GRID proposal

[Ben H. <be...@ex...>]

Hi,

A few people (Jonathan Byron and Michael Spencer) have mentioned in the last
days the BLOCKS project.  I thought that I would drop by and tell you about
my self organizing protocol that I am developing:

Check it out at: http://www.exocortex.org/grid.html

And yesterday I developed the start of a growing preference algorithm in
order to grow it in a manner that will maintain coherence:
http://www.exocortex.org/growing_v01.ppt

Although I always talk in two dimensions (planar) all the algorithms are
scalable to any dimension greater than one.

I'm working full time right now so I do not have time to polish these ideas.
Also we are in a very fast moving field (distributed file sharing,
distributed applications) so I want to get them out as quickly as possible.

Take care,
