1) Can processes be reliable given noisy data? 2) Where one can establish a similarity metric, is that good enough, as Bosworth is claiming for human processes, for machine-processes? Bosworth is playing fast and loose with the noise problems. Applications vary wildly in their tolerance to noise. Humans tolerate it best. As far as the use of publish and subscribe notification systems, that isn't new news here or elsewhere, so I am unsure exactly what progress Bosworth is anticipating. I have this queasy feeling that like so many of the showman engineers future visions, this is another round of same old wine in a *branded new bottle* (not a typo). As follow on, in the domain of not new but possibly worthy of further study or just to make your brain hurt: I suggest a review of the works of Salton et al on the vector space model, and the new refinements of Dominick Kuropka et al on topic-based vector space models. Consider these in terms of namespaces as provided by XML, and the implications given aggregate documents with multiple namespaces folded into the same document to the vector model itself. Given the cheap/free real-time 3D rendering (not Avalon but I won't get into why here), vector space models can be mapped to the real time 3D and improve the interface as well as enable the slicing and dicing of the returns. It MAY be the case that quantum logic can be applied to improve the problems of ambiguity, but the jury is still out on that one. The question one might ask is if quantum logic approaches require quantum computers. My math isn't good enough to determine if the term expansion overhead really does kill any performance gains made by the algorithms. The simpler vector space models do not have that problem. They work. The question is do they work better given markup. Remember, a schema IS a document itself. len From: Jonathan Robie [mailto:jonathan.robie@d...] Here's another "something altogether different": http://www.onlamp.com/pub/wlg/6913 Thoughts? Jonathan
