Qualitative Operators are Simply Arrows in Category Theory

So it seems like qualitative operators being maps are very similar to arrows or functions between objects in category theory. These are the same thing as references and pointers I assume. So the equality between field access and getters and setters seems to be qualitative operators as well.

Qualitative Operators as Maps

If most qualitative operators are maps, then it would seem like some of the best qualitative operators occur in relational database systems, with foreign keys and associative tables. Also, there are map data structures in many programming languages--perhaps only used to map strings to objects when one should map objects to objects. Perhaps the best combination of these two things is the object oriented database system.

Qualitative Operators

While Qualitum Computers may not make sense (computing usually involves numbers), there seems to be research into qualitative operators. So I will do some research on qualitative operators.

Review of Adelman's DNA computer which solved the travelling salesman problem, and new hope of Turing machine done with molecules (a bit dated) http://www.jyi.org/volumes/volume8/issue2/features/srivastava.html

Qualitum Computers 2

I am starting to think of operators, methods, functions, subroutines, and procedures as qualitum computing. Where operators are usually in the instruction set of the computer, the others are linked at runtime into an address space, so they are numerical. There are address spaces in geography that are coordinate and label based. Maybe if computers had two dimensional memory, things get more interesting. This reminds me of Jed Donnelley's IMPACT processor, where operators are positioned on a grid: http://www.webstart.com/jed/impact.pdf

Qualitum Computer

I'm calling for research into a "Qualitum Computer." A computer used for pure, non-numeric qualitative research. Where operators and operands are not based on numbers, rather they are based on molecules or networks molecules flow through. Where energy or electricity is less important, and matter and reaction is more important. Some energy may be useful, but I'm imagining something more like enzymes and catalysts.

Streaming versus Document Object Model

Streaming seems to be a wave type of thing. Documents seem to be a particle type of thing. What is the hybrid between a stream and a document? It seems like the text node in XML may provide for streams of data. The only distinction may be that documents don't have long lived connections, and streams, by necessity have long lived connections. If streams are treated like arrays, how do we store variable length arrays in relational database? It seems like we would store them as XML (a document), if there was no bound on their length.

Streams of keystrokes coming into documents add to the document structure. Similarly, streams of objects or commands may modify a scene. It seems like streams or waves are what affect the structure of our world, modifying it.

It seems like analog networking is going out of style. TV used to be analog, but now it's digital. I'm not sure radio is far behind. Will there be a bounceback to hybrid networking? We will see. Perhaps hybrid networking means changing the bit rate.

Hybrid Hierarchies

So if we have continuous hierarchies and discrete hierarchies, what about hybrid hierarchies? Just like we have discrete event, continuous and hybrid simulation, can we have hierarchies that are hybrid? A discrete hierarchy is like a mathematical graph, with nodes and arcs, but no spatial or temporal attributes (except for demonstrational purposes). A continuous hierarchy exists in time and space, but it's difficult to show connections or differences between arcs and nodes. So we need a hybrid graph, in ink and paper, or a road network. We create a hybrid hierarchy by placing stuff representing a graph (a discrete thing) onto a continuous media.

Musicrosystems

A spoonerism of Sun Microsystems is Mun Sicrosystems take out the "n" and you get Musicrosystems.

The Universe Bomb

So what if the "Big Bang" was caused by some scientists who wanted to build an extremely powerful bomb? Their universe got blown away by the bang that created ours.

Something to think about. What can technology do? A new heaven and a new Earth? Revelations 21:1

Fuzzopedia

I'd just like to define the title here. It's an encyclopedia filled with fuzz (as in fuzz testing).

A Theory of Time (and possibly space)

I spent a month when I had some "free" time on my hands thinking about time. At that time, my best idea was: Time is like a doily in a cloud. I now think that time is like one or more brains (and even the second brain in your gut). A network of communicating nodes, with supporting structure. Now that you know what time is, what do you think time travel is? Is it possible for electroshock to "push" people back in time, such that they forget that time has passed? What better explanation for memory loss that they travelled through time backwards? The person's universe tilted backward in time, whereas the rest of us continued on.
