ROBACUS MISSION
ROBACUS is the mind of the brain that we
know as computer. The computer community
has thus far produced a powerful brain,
but only done patch works when it comes to
firing up this brain with a mind.
What will this mind look like? It would
try to fulfill the purpose that the computer
is created in the first place -- to solve
all our technical problems. This requires
the mind to be the collective intelligences
of all of us. ROBACUS first has to be
the vehicle to rally such a collective
effort. Once the knowledges of all the
surrounding users are absorbed and
cumulated in it, ROBACUS would take charge
of the effort to automate the production
and distribution of all basic material
needs for all of us.
Ironically,
the very reason that the developement of
this mind is not
being pursued in earnest is that we
want to solve these problems with our
own minds. But this is motivated by
the disillusion of the technology-haves
that they need to
use technology to exploit the havenots.
But as nature has intended, the same way
machines have replaced our muscles,
computers are
destined to replace our brains. We simply
have to accept the fact that
human beings are not just here on earth
to make a living. There got to be
something better in stored for us.
For those who simply wont let go of this
intelligence phase in human evolution,
the limited human brain when overstrained
in self-imagined struggles for material
resources could very well bring down
the doomsday upon us. No wonder the
leading thrust in technology, especially
in computers, is in building
doomsday weapons.
Luckily, ROBACUS does not need everybody to
agree before being developed. In fact it
only needs just anybody to bring it to a
state where automatical absorption and
accumulation of knowledge is possible.
But this anybody, or anybodies, must
commit himself to develope ROBACUS for
others.
This means no learning curves. ROBACUS,
therefore, must interface the users in
natural language.
This is accomplished through natural
language progamming and computing, using
a 3000-words set of universal
language based on abbreviated English.
And once onboard, the communication must
be absolute. In fact it must be so
unambiguous that users are not allowed to
communicate directly. This requires that
all interactions between users and computer
be recorded verbatim, in clearly
understandable plain language. Such
recordings are the only allowed media for
communication. When these recordings
are made functional by allowing them to
repeat the interactions they recorded,
they do not just communicate the what, but
also the how, things are done. These
appropriately dubbed software robots
will be the reservoir of knowledge that
can bring the problem solving ability it
embodied to everyone's finger tip.
As long as ROBACUS is not derailed from
the above mentioned guidelines, it is
expected to be ready for production
before 2008 and for debutting in the
2010 Shanghai Expo, along with a universal
language for the benefit of the
non-English speaking majority of the world.
