RESEARCH PARTICIPATION WILL BE INITIATED EFFECTIVE OCTOBER, 2008, WITH NOTICE OF THE SPECIFIC OPENING DATE TO BE PUBLICIZED ON THIS BLOG SHORTLY IN ADVANCE OF SAID DATE. THE INITIATING SPECS FOR SYN4,5,&6 WILL BE POSTED BEFORE THE END OF 2008. THE AUTOGNOMIC INTELLISITE (IN THE http://www.truethinker.com/ APPLICATION) AS A KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT AND DIFFUSION SYSTEM (SEE BELOW) WILL BE DEPLOYED AS THE RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

AS OF THE OPENING DATE, to participate in this Community, begin by Adopting-a-Gnome as per the procedure laid out in the post herein titled, Adopt-a-Gnome. Read the section entitled “What is the Adopt-a-Gnome Program” and then follow the directions under “How does one Adopt-a-Gnome?” As a TrueThinker, having subscribed through

http://www.ahainstitute.truethinker.com/,

one immediately becomes a participating Relational Researcher simply by way of the incorporation of their personal MindClone (MyKnowledgeBank) in the AHA!Institute 7SYNs Community KnowledgeBank; this latter serves as a resource knowledge-base for this research. More specifically, however, each open-entry participant is free to engage actively in this research at whatever level of Pragmatic Knowledge Value they competently offer as assessed by the AHA! Community–Builder.

A Brief History of Idea Acceptance

Throughout history there have been “telling” examples of great ideas which have gone through three distinct phases. The first phase was characterized by being deemed sacrilegious, whimsical, or just plain silly. The second phase involved the intellectual pioneers seeking to prove the utility and validity of their idea. The third phase was heralded by the cries of the crowd, “We always believed it was true!”

Vision Before Manifestation

Catching the vision of AutoGnomics™ is rather like the legend of the old Native American Sachem. The ancient “Medicine Man/Woman” was a seer of dreams, an interpreter of visions. These Sachems traveled in their thoughts where others could not go. For most of us as early investors, AutoGnomics has been largely visionary, almost dream-like. And yet, not unlike the Sachems, there has been a need for patience. The Sachems knew that any kernel of truth had to be placed in good soil, to be tended by a gentle hand, and then allowed to grow at its own intrinsic rate to full maturity in preparation for the harvest.

A Patient Family

Our Ai3/AutoGnomics Family has shown remarkable patience. Every one has envisioned, in his or her own way, a part of the possibility of AutoGnomics--of the vast potential of this unique leading-edge science.

A Radically New Application

Over the past five years the effort has been focused on an original application worthy of the AutoGnome's potential ubiquitous applicability. Such an application would need to be revolutionary in its scope, visionary in its conception, and available to a very broad customer market. As such, it should be a candidate for fulfilling Bill Gates’ challenge:

New York Times, March 1, 2004
“Microsoft, Amid Dwindling Interest, Talks Up Computing as a Career” by Steve Lohr-- Bill Gates, ''If you invent a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, so machines can learn, that is worth 10 Microsofts.''

This first application should fill an apparent need that competing technologies have shown themselves unable to address.

The Solution Environment
It has become the norm in the experience, for example, of small business enterprises that they need to hire special information technologists using additional technology/tools to teach/train their employees in the requisite skills to enable them to use the web search tools. Hence, the "golden age of information technology" has created the problem of an “info-glut” which, as a result of efforts to resolve that problem, has led to the further problem of a “tool-glut” with its inherent added problem of limiting solutions due to a “limited set of skilled tool users”. To address these challenges, Ai3 has introduced its Intellisite™ (Intelligent WebSite™) technology which can ultimately effectively act as an autonomous agent assisting or replacing the human computer operator in interacting with the CyberUniverse™.

The Intellisite™: A Virtual Replica of Individual Intelligence

An Intellisite™ (generically branded as TrueThinker.com™) is a constructed software environment (a website) with an embedded form of the AutoGnomic Technology. Hence the AutoGnome is a synthetic intelligence (a WebGnome™) residing in this virtual environment which, with its continuous adaptive learning from mimicking the user’s behavior, will grow into a likeminded replica (MindClone™) of a user-self acting in the virtual world of the Internet with capabilities initially including:

• knowledge organization [learning] (manual, supervised and automated categorization);
• knowledge creation [thinking] (ideation, autonomous search, and automated community building), and
• knowledge applications [acting] (capital development, management, & investment and autonomous entrepreneurs).

TrueThinker.com™
The present TrueThinker experience includes these features:

• My Home webpage, a dashboard or homepage that you can personalize as your portal to the Internet.
• My KnowledgeBank, where you can manually, or via your AutoGnome automatically, store your relevant and valued information (i.e. Knowledge) so you can find it easily
• My Communities, where you can join or create groups of people with the same social, business, research or other interests to share resources and hold public or private discussions.

What's more, you can access TrueThinker and your organized knowledge files from any computer, making your accumulated knowledge on just about anything accessible from anywhere.

How TrueThinker Can Begin To Work For You
To access the TrueThinker site, simply enter http://www.truethinker.com/ in your browser of choice. The first act is to register your personal information. Once you have opened the TrueThinker.com intelligent website, pause and take a few moments to look around. See the unique layout. Sample TrueThinker’s novel approach to information gathering and its ease of operation in organizing your personal KnowledgeBank. Sample the tutorial available to users of the site. You can also expect ongoing growth in the functional intelligence of the AutoGnomic features resident in the site.

Benefits Of TrueThinker

TrueThinker is not just an idea, but is a technology that needs to be experienced for it to be actionally conceptualized. A core function of TrueThinker, i.e. an operator-less intelligent technology to augment human intellect, is now nearing availability. This allows potential Relational Researchers to become involved in a technology that will provide each their own MindClone which, as an Autonomous Scientific Intelligence (AScI), might serve as a personal Research Assistant and thus allow the Researcher a depth of research participation never before conceived.

The remainder of this post has been excerpted from
a paper by Jon Ray Hamann, An AutoGnomic Intellisite,
to be published in October, 2008.

Intellisite Derivatives - Autonomous Scientific Intelligence
The Intellisite obviously has a broad spectrum of applicability apart from its key functionality as an individual's mirrored Intelligence/Knowledge, in particular as an Autonomous Scientific Intelligence (AScI), a Collective-AutoGnome (CoGnome) and the CogWeb (cognitive network of Intellisites).

AScI
A first generative instantiation of the AutoGnome deriving from its form as a general [meta order(ing)] theory of theory formation is as an Autonomous Scientific Intelligence (AScI) which promises to automate the scientific method.

CoGnome
Assigning a priority MetaQuery/Response status to a selected WebGnome which inter-connects two or more Intellisites in a Network provides a computerized collective intelligence, the CoGnome.

The CogWeb is, by definition, the implementation of the CoGnome for Network Decision-Making by Intellisite-defined groups, organizations, communities and societies.

While the Intellisite itself was focused on the development of a semiotic engine as an Individual Intelligence, the full potential of individual intellect, be it human or machine, is realized in groups; hence the Automated Community Builder functionality of the Intellisite. This collective creativity, while related to the intelligence of the individual, is actually a feature not only of the Decision Network’s inquiry/inference processes (the CoGnome), but more generally of the Network Architecture. Since it is increasingly evident that smart aggregates of humans are frequently more effective decision makers than individuals, this CogWeb architecture collectively technologically enables Co-Intelligence in Co-Creative Research.
