To: UOR Foundation et alia
This update is a bit overdue. I'll start by thanking everyone here for tuning in and showing up. I can't really describe how much your participation means to me. UOR research and development can feel like a war of attrition and there are days that I question my own sanity in pursuing this. It's those moments of weakness that lead me to moments of clarity found in the exchanges within these channels of this server; exchanges with each of you. Call it co-dependent, but there is real strength in participating with this community. You drive me to keep going each day. I hope you all find similar strength and support from your participation with our community and the UOR Foundation as the org begins picking up steam.
Some of you might be dismayed to hear, but UOR was never actually about math. UOR turned into a vicious math project once I was challenged by enough people to "prove it". I'm not sure we "proved it", but our exploration of mathematics has clarified much of the original UOR concept. Math has given us the basis for the PrimeOS protocols that will underpin the "PrimeOS internet operating system".
Our research into the mathematics of UOR has given us Coherence-Centric Mathematics and the concept of Mathematodynamics. While I am very proud of these breakthroughs as standalone concepts, I think that it's important to remember that these concepts only exist within this organization because they are the formalization of the UOR and its enabling concepts. The bytecode used by PrimeOS is only calculable with CCM.
It's probably useful to say that it's important that we maintain focus on UOR and PrimeOS. CCM and its parts will have a continued role in our work, but math was never the end; it is just a dependency of PrimeOS.
I could have probably titled the previous section "the end of research", but I like how bombastic my choice reads. It might be more accurate to say that we are concluding the phase of research that led us into mathematics.
We should probably call a spade and point out that I've done an abysmal job at delineating research from development. I fear my conflation of these destinct concepts has spoiled some people's attention and interest in the project. I do think that's a blemish and I also feel compelled to apologize; I'm sorry for muddying our progress.
So, where are we going next? UOR isn't AI, encryption, compression, or interoperability. It enables those things and compliments them. It does this by providing infrastructure; virtual infrastructure.
PrimeOS is an operating sytem without hardware primitives. I refer to this as Data Virtualization or simply "virtualization". PrimeOS in this light enables a concept that I've been kicking around lately that I refer to as "Virtual Private Infrastructure".
I've attached a PDF above this note that unpacks the concept of Virtual Private Infrastructure (name is still negotiable). Please take a look at the PDF if you haven't yet.
This isn't a "new" direction. This has always been the direction. Before the UOR Foundation, we researched the PrimeOS concept under the "Fibonacci" moniker; due to intellectual property concerns, we found a different name.
The CCM protocols that underpin the PrimeOS capabilities are defined in the PrimeOS repo. The CCM-BJC (bijective hash function) codec, for example, has been implemented there in Rust without the Rust standard library, so that it can be compiled for WASM and embedded systems.
The Typescript PrimeOS-SDK is our target now. The PrimeOS-SDK will be published as an NPM package and will provide a "Virtual Backend" to applications needing to read and write persistent application data without the need of infrastructure hosting by the publisher.
The PrimeOS Dashboard will provide a reference implementation of the PrimeOS SDK, by importing the sdk to connect users with their Virtual Private Infrastructure. The PrimeOS Dashboard will expose an infrastructure management platform similar to vSphere/AWS/GCP/Azure....
I'm very excited. Those of you who have known me for a while know that system design is my passion and I'm glad to be focusing on the infra of your data needs ;)
If you've been wondering how the hell we were going to get anythign done pontificating about math, you might be glad to hear that we are now moving into a formal development cycle. Let's get this project back to the basics of Agile and DevOps. Hint: it doesnt actually start with writing code. It starts with docs, diagrams, and specs. Those primitives inform the roadmap and the roadmap turns into implementable features.
If you think you can help us get the project launched, please feel empowered to support as you are able.
Cheers, /Alex
