computing_systems This is a knowledge base of computing systems, their origins, their creators and their relations with other such systems. It was created to modernize, expand on and support the ongoing maintenance requirements of the "Bushy Tree Diagram" created by John Redant, Bruce Damer and others: http://www.digibarn.com/stories/desktop-history/bushytree.html which was inspired by 'The Xerox "Star": A Retrospective' http://www.digibarn.com/friends/curbow/star/retrospect/index.html

convenience_procedures These convenience PyOKBC procedures are an experiment to discover whether the deficits of ZPTs as a programming language can be largely overcome by putting procedures in the knowledge.
conversation_pattern_language Conversation Pattern Language is a pattern which describes an overview of conversation for collaboration. These conversations allow the declaration of Contexts, which can be other pattern languages, allowing a group to name its patterns of discourse, as well as evolve them over time. This language allows a conversation to evolve over time, coevolving what we know with what we don't know. Some of these patterns which may shape this process are listed below.

nooron_app_architecture This knowledgebase is the very heart of the Nooron App Architecture. This is the ontology which gives Nooron Apps (such as Pattern Language, FAQ, Web Log and PERT) their rich features. It establishes the slots for managing a hierarchy of skins. It defines different kinds of nooron_app_component: KBs which are either nooron_app_ontologies, nooron_app_wardrobes, nooron_app_data or nooron_app_instances which by being separate make possible a wildly flexible strategy of knowledge recombination. This approach will also support the automatic generation of management screens for adding, editing, versioning and deleting information.
nooron_faq An FAQ about Nooron, what it is and how to use it.

nooron_pattern_language Nooron is a comprehensive approach to working with information. It is built to simplify reuse. It accelerates software creation and distribution. It can be understood as the interaction of the following patterns.

nooron_pert This is an experimental application of the PERT Nooron App which tests the use of directories under /know as well as kbs referring to other kbs without including file extensions.

scalefree_pattern_language Scale Free Patterns give us some tools to talk about things which occur across many different scales. HIV/AIDS, for example, can be viewed from various characteristic scales: genetic, cellular, immune system, person, family, community, national, or evolution of the species. ScaleFree gives us some tools for talking about things which cross many scales - the intrinsics of the situation. It allows us to link things across divergent scales, and to think in terms of Foamy Spaces, which have fractal properties, rather than dense fixed dimensions. Is there a way to build a fractal browser which gives us the ability to view things from the perspective of their intrinsics? Is there a way of using foamy spaces to understand complex, multi-scale, multidimensional systems? Can we speak about cascades of activities caused by intrinsics? Can we discover activation energies which are capable of causing a cascade of uplift?

unknowledge_pattern_language Unknowledge Patterns describe ways of talking about that which is unknown. For example, the discovery of the periodic table of the elements created a pattern of information about what we didn't know about the elements, until we "filled in the blanks." These "named voids" in our knowledge were powerful attractors, and shaped the discourse of science. Are there other ways of naming voids which shape our discovery? The discovery of zero, a "missing nothing," was one of the turning points in Western thought. Are there other missing nothings lurking about, waiting to be discovered? If so, how do we name these voids, and to what end? This is the stuff of unknowledge management.

uplift_academy_pattern_languages This page lists some of the pattern languages which are being developed for the Uplift Academy (www.upspace.org). These begin as very abstract representations of discourse and ways of knowing which will appeal to only a limited set of people. However, the patterns become more concrete (HIV/AIDS, for example) which may be understood by a progressively larger audience.
(coming soon) HIV/AIDS orphans pattern language is a specific application of these ideas to the HIV/AIDS crisis. These patterns discuss one of humanity's greatest challenges over the next decades. This pattern language takes the perspective that this problem is actually one of the most uplifting opportunities facing the world today. This approach is to create scalable ways of connecting people to allow them to share in the uplift process, connecting people at their positive core values. Giving people all over the world the opportunity to make a positive difference is itself an uplifting experience, a phenomenon which could become contagious and trigger a more generalized uplift cascade.
uplift_communities This knowledgebase contains communities which are engaged in Uplift. It also contains, as context, the Uplift Linguistic Shell, to provide the set of patterns which they may be employing.

uplift_pattern_language Uplift patterns relates to a pattern language for uplift, a way of supporting positive discourse for humanitarian uplift. By focusing on the positive form of discourse, we are creating unknowledge which in turn shapes our discoveries. Combining patterns in novel ways allows us to create Uplift tapestries, weaving together what we know is uplifting with the voids in which these uplift patterns have not been applied. In the same way that the periodic table of the elements gave us a framework for discovering new properties of the elements, the uplift tapestry gives us a framework for discovering new patterns of uplift. Uplift patterns may be specialized to specific domains of discourse, for example HIV/AIDS orphans.
