Resilience Project White Paper
(Response to note from The
Speaker’s Office [376] )

Starting the Discussion with the National Science Foundation
About the proposed Resilience Project
Professor Cobbs,
We are working on the Resilience Project White Paper today, some new edits have been made based on extensive discussions over the past week.

(This is a radically new presentation, version 5.0, so I am hoping that resilience members will make comments and offer edits)
Jay Paraki's discussions with us have been largely about the development of medical informatics ontology (using multiple OWL DL plus topic map interface following the www.biopax.org example). The project Jay and I have talked about would be a low cost project with volunteers from India's medical community as well as from a programming team in India.
However, the impact might be very large. The work on cell and gene expression ontology by biopax was watched very carefully, and we see how the core issue of emergence of function in differential "environments" can be handled using deterministic OWL specified knowledge representation with a topic map interface to produce switches based on "interpretation". Consider the issue of "what tea should I drink?". Can a herb and tea differential ontology be created by the Indian medical community for all teas and herbs world wide, and then made available as is a wiki (ie freely).
The story of this discussion is scattered about in various parts of the BCNGroup Glass Bead Games... so I will summarize in a short email here.
I understand that Dr Paraki is being considered for a position here in the US and I am pleased to support him.
The concept of the safeNet is now clearly a part of the Resilience Project's presentation. The safeNet will be a dedicated part of the Internet where all transactions are easily visible to data mining processes. The purpose of the data mining is to unplug the un-necessary transaction process so that "serious" work can be done without the compromising processes related to advertising and spam. The methods we have designed are to be used with deep packet inspections at the main Internet routers as well as internal instrumentations related to digital property protection.
The dedication and transparency allows the definition of a specific (emerging) context landscape, and the services provided by that "computed landscape".
For those who are willing, one can see one architectural design for creating context landscapes and rendering these as distributed and stratified ontology.

A more complete down to the detail rendering of architecture for context computing is available from Sandy Klausner - if and when he is willing to talk about this. His system is not publicly visible.
In any case, the issue at hand is about how medical informatics might develop to
1) make knowledge of indigenous substances available via the Internet
2) make knowledge of indigenous wisdom associated with those substances also available
Mark Howarth and I have talked about this while I was in Taos, and have thought through some of the issues related to the amazonherbs company. The thinking has not been expressed in text as yet. When I return to Taos for the last part of this month, perhaps Mark and I will complete this discussions.
Having Jay here in the US to work with Mark and I will be helpful. Also, indigenous wisdom is very much tied in with sounds and songs. This is what Four Arrows and Carl Flygt would like to talk about. Black Hawk Records is in a position to perhaps be a stage for Internet based orchestration of music, or as Carl Flygt has stated:
