CLAIMS

1. A computer-implemented method for creating a machine representation of physical and conceptual objects described in text, which method uses a database and functions on data objects and which method derives from linguistic analysis of text together with known instances or occurrences or observations of said data objects, and which method:

(i) first uses linguistic parts of speech and distributional disambiguation analysis to identify common nouns of a distinct meaning, and

(ii) for each such common noun that represents a class of physical or con ceptual objects, creates a knowledge object consisting of four parts, which are:

a. a“passport” listing known instances of said physical or conceptual object, said passport comprising:

i. an address (for example, an IPv6 address) by which the passport can be accessed over a network, together with ii. an assigned name, date-time of creation and textual descrip tion, together with

iii. an associated list of observed instances or occurrences of said object,

b. An associated list of properties,

c. An associated list of behaviors or functions relating to said object, d. A pointer to a global list of associations known for such object with other objects.

2. A computer-implemented method of retrieving machine representations of physical objects as described in Claim 1 above, such that the retrieval can be by any one of the following methods, with the term“object” hereinafter in this claim meaning the machine representation of the object, unless otherwise specified, and the term“logical conjunctive” meaning one of AND, OR, XOR (exclusive or) and the negation of these logical conjunctives: (i) Direct retrieval by a known address of the object;

(ii) Retrieval by the name and date-time of creation of the object;

(iii) The combination by logical conjunctives of (i) and (ii);

(iv) Specification of a selection of properties as described in Claim 1(b) above;

(v) The combination by logical conjunctives of (i) and (ii) and (iv) above; and in the course of retrieving said machine representation, the functions and methods created during the process of creating said knowledge object and stored during which the functions and behaviors described in Claim 1(c) are executed as machine instructions applied to said object and related objects by the data pro- cessing system executing the method of retrieval. In this manner, the stored ob- jects become executable computational objects upon retrieval.

3. The method of storing and retrieving machine representations of physical or conceptual objects as specified in Claims 1 and 2 such that during the course of creating and retrieving said representations (hereinafter in this claim the term‘ob- ject’ will refer to the machine representation of said physical or conceptual ob- jects), a number of quantitative statistical operations are performed and the results of said operations are stored with the object dynamically, said statistical opera tions including textual statistical analysis and statistical analysis of the observed and computed relations of this object with other created objects sharing the same or similar properties, behaviors, or functions.

4. An interactive system of software running on stand-alone or networked servers and Program Devices, which organize and enable the storage, retrieval, and execution of functions and behaviors as described in Claims 1, 2, and 3 above.

5. The interactive system of software and hardware described in Claim 4 above, whereby within the system of software and hardware there exists a number of autonomous input feeds such as online news wires, twitter feeds, web page scraping, or other methods of receiving inputs, said inputs causing the storage and retrieval of knowledge objects related by textual analysis to existing knowledge objects, thereby inducing the execution of the behaviors and functions associated with said knowledge objects, which results in an external organizing and continu- ously updating analytical knowledge base.

6. The interactive system of software and hardware described in Claim 4 above, whereby within the system of software and hardware there exist a number of clocks that actively and independently of user activity or external input, cause the retrieval and storage of knowledge objects, thereby inducing the execution of the behaviors and functions associated with said knowledge objects, which results in a self-organizing and self-analytical knowledge base.

7. The combination of systems as described in Claims 5 and 6 above, which results in a continually updating, self-organizing, and self-analytical knowledge base.

8. The method of Claims 2 and 3 in which data representations (knowledge objects) are assigned to one or more of a limited number of linguistic categories, said categories being, as an example:

(a) Causation;

(b) Technology and Science;

(c) Concepts, Beliefs, Trends, Followings, Feelings;

(d) Groups, Associations, Organizations;

(e) Persons, Unidentified Persons, Fictitious Persons; (f) Events, Event Names, Event References;

(g) Objects Manmade or Natural, or living but non-Persons;

(h) Time and Date or Duration objects; or

(i) Geographical or spatial objects,

Where the method of assignment is based on linguistic analysis and, with the ex- ception of the Causation category, a knowledge object observed (that is, created from external input) or created within the system is assigned to only one of the nine categories. These nine categories listed here are intended to be descriptive, but any set of categories that create a complete ontology, such that any observed or created object can be uniquely and without ambiguity assigned to one or at most two of the categories.

9. The method of Claim 8 wherein objects in each of the categories contains data fields describing the origin ( e.g . whether observed in a news feed or inter nally created) of the knowledge object, together with pointers to instances where the knowledge object was multiply observed, together with associations, func tions, and behaviors (that is, functions to be executed when the objects are re trieved and information relating to environments in which the objects were refer- enced), and, where appropriate, descriptions of physical appearance of the knowledge object.

Description:
Method and Device for Machine Representation of Detected Physical Objects in Text Introduction

In the industry of data mining, algorithms that detect physical objects are cur rently in development. Some quite effective, but most work on visual data, that is, on images. From face recognition to pedestrian and vehicle recognition in self- driving cars, the detection of physical objects is primarily related to visual infor- mation and visual analytics.

The Invention

The present invention as defined in the appended claims detects representations of physical objects in text, stores them in a particular type of database, and allows simplified retrieval and abstraction of said physical objects. The simplified re- trieval and abstraction facilitates the drawing of inferences regarding properties and behavior of a particular object from consideration of other properties and be- haviors of that object and from references to that object and associations related to that object.

A physical object, in our definition, is a material thing, real or perceived through abstract understanding. A physical object is an abstract or material object, other than what is determined to be a“Person”. A Person is a category distinct from physical objects, although sharing many of the same qualities. In the present in vention, we detect physical objects in text data, through corpus linguistics and text mining techniques. We utilize existing techniques of Part of Speech (“PoS”) tagging as well as Word Category Disambiguation (“WCD”). PoS is a set of text processing methods through which words and phrases are tagged is being parts of speech, based on the syntactic context of the words in question. Methods of PoS are well known to ex- perts in the field of computational linguistics and are not claimed as novel per se.

The challenge with physical object recognition, in this sense, from arbitrary tex- tual material is that it also requires Word Sense Disambiguation (“WSD”) and Named Entity Disambiguation (NED), in addition to WCD. Thus, the method used in the present invention combines PoS, WSD and NED.

Refer to Fig. 28: Turning text into C+8 Objects.

The approach of the present invention is based on the observation that physical objects are expressed in natural language text through nouns. In linguistic PoS analysis, nouns are words used to refer to persons, places, or things. Common nouns are nouns that are not the name of any particular person, place, or things. That is, common nouns usually refer to categories or types of objects, rather than a particular specified object. It is commonplace in linguistics to refer to singular common nouns as NN and plural common nouns as NNS. Proper nouns, in con trast, refer to specific, individual items.

The method of the present invention creates symbolic objects from text, and as- signs properties to those objects. In particular, when the PoS textual analysis re- tums a textual object recognized as a common noun, a part of speech property tag is attached to said textual object, identifying it as NN or NNS.

Refer to Fig. 29. An example will help clarify the method here. Consider the sentence“The engine of my Ford Focus broke down a few blocks away.” Using standard linguistic tech niques, this would be tagged as:

The </DT> engine</NN> of</IN> my</PRP$> Ford</NNP> Focus</NNP> brokc</VBD> down</RP> a</DT> few</JJ> blocks</NNS> away</RB> .</.>

Refer to Fig. 30.

Where“engine” is identified as a singular common noun and“blocks” is identi fied as a plural common noun. Ford and Focus are identified as singular proper nouns, not yet determined as to their details tagging. The tagging of other parts of speech is used for context analysis and for other purposes.

Refer to Fig. 31.

The next step of the method is to determine whether the identified common nouns (here“engine” and“blocks”) are material things (real or perceived, including liv ing or animate objects), and not persons or abstract concepts. To do this, we use Key Word in Context (KWIC), considering five (5) words to the right and five (5) words to the left of the common noun. This rule, of using five words in each di rection, is not novel or claimed as part of this invention, but rather is generally known to experts in the field of textual analysis to be sufficient to reconstruct the original semantic context of the word in natural languages.

Also generally known to experts in the field is the“distributional hypothesis.” This is the hypothesis that the meaning of a word can be inferred based on the context in which it appears. The majority of deep learning (neural net based) natu ral language processing methods use the distributional hypothesis to generate word vectors because these are task invariant as well as language invariant. The present method uses the distributional hypothesis for those reasons. Based on the distributional hypothesis in studying word embedding in our text data, we assume that distributional similarity and meaning similarity are corre- lated. Thus, the context of the common noun that we observe is given by the co- occurring words. Statistical analysis and statistical testing of word co-occurrences are then used in word sense disambiguation, linking the common noun under study to a knowledge base of senses that the said noun can have. This method of disambiguation is well known to experts in the field of computational linguistics.

Next, based on KIWC and distributional analysis, we determine which of the can- didate senses is the correct one, in context, and, provided that the textual fragment under consideration does not refer to a proper Named Entity, we assign the com mon noun to the C+8 Physical Object category.

To determine whether the textual fragment corresponding to the newly created knowledge object refers to a Person (and therefore is not considered a Physical Object), we use methods of Named Entity Recognition (NER) that are well known to experts in the field of computational linguistics. If the knowledge object is dis covered by these methods to be a Person, it is not considered a Physical Object. Refer to Fig- 32: Knowledge Object“Ukraine” created by a C+8 based query

Assignment of the noun to the Physical Object category means that the newly cre ated knowledge object has a property corresponding to the discovery that it is a physical object.

The method of the present invention is to create a representational object in a computer database. One representational object is created for each common noun discovered in the text by the methods described above. A representational object has an address through which it can be referenced and modified, as well as a list of indefinite length that contain properties, instances, associations, and methods of the representational object. A representational object that has all of these as well as a specialized method and database for recording and controlling access to the representational object itself, is called a knowledge object.

The specialized method and database for recording and controlling access to the knowledge object is called a“passport”. The passport of a knowledge object that is also a physical object contains a record of known instances (specific examples) of that knowledge object. For example, if the knowledge object represents an au- tomobile, or car, the passport for that knowledge object will contain a list of point ers to various text articles that reference cars.

Each text object in the previous paragraph is itself a representational object, hav- ing been used as input to the system for processing text and previously recorded. However, these text objects, although they are representational objects, are not necessarily, and in general are not, physical objects. A counter example would be the plaque on the Statute of Liberty in New York, which both is a physical object and also contains text.

Utilizing the representational scheme set out in the present invention, we can per form highly sophisticated retrieval queries of the type:

<Instruct:> <Resolve Query>;

<Find range> of {local/regional} {Events}

<organized> by {Persons} or {Groups}

<with> a {Concept=Politieal Affiliation} of {Y} which <associate> under the {Concept} of {C} which taken place

<between> {Time/Date} and {Time/Date} and {potentially}

<with> {Probability} = {<80%} will <take place> till {Time/Date} <within> the {Geography}= {XXI} and/or {XX2}, which

<involve>, (the {Event} + {Concept}= {A, C})

<or> (the {Event} {Concept}= {B}), and involving within> any qualifying {sub-event} {Persons} with a history of {Concept}= {D}, {not being Members} of {Group}= {Gl or G2},

and are either {Behaviour} :

<to> customers with a {profile/Behaviour} = {Yl, Y2 or Y3}” <Instruct:> <End Query>; <output result>

1. The Background and Reason why the C+8 Technology is urgently needed to solve Big Data Problems decisively i. Finding the Signal in the Noise

It’s difficult to get insights out of a huge lump of data. In order to use Big Data, Data Scientist and author of the book“Social Network Analysis for Startups”, Maksim Tsvetovat said* that“There has to be a discernible signal in the noise that you can detect, and sometimes there just isn’t one. Once we’ve done our intelli- gence on the data, sometimes we have to come back and say we just didn’t measure this right or measured the wrong variables because there’s nothing we can detect here.” He went on to say that in its raw form, Big Data looks like a hairball and scientific approach to the data is necessary.“You approach it carefully and behave like a scientist which means if you fail at your hypothesis, you come up with a few other hypothesizes, and maybe one of them turns out to be correct.” ii. Data Silos

Data silos are basically Big Data’s kryptonite. What they do is store all of that data a company has captured in separate, disparate units, that have nothing to do with one another and therefore no insights can be gathered from this data because it simply isn’t integrated on the back end. Data silos are the reason you have to num ber crunch to produce a monthly sales report. They’re the reason that C-level deci- sions are made at a snail’s pace. They’re the reason your sales and marketing teams simply don’t get along. They’re the reason that your customers are looking else- where to take their business because they don’t feel their needs are being met and a smaller, more nimble company, is offering something better. The only way to elim inate data silos is, to Integrate data into a holistic approach. iii. Inaccurate Data

Not only are the data silos ineffective on an operational level, they are also fertile breeding ground for the biggest data problem: inaccurate data. According to a recent report, 75% of businesses believe their customer contact information is in correct. If you have got a database full of incorrect customer data, you might as well have no data at all. The best way to combat inaccurate data is: Eliminating data silos by integrating data. iv. Technology Moves Too Fast

Larger corporations are more prey to data silos, for such reasons as they prefer to keep their databases on-premises, and because decision making about new technol ogies is often slow.

One example cited often is that stalwarts like telcos and utilities“...are noticing high levels of disruption from new competitors moving in from other sectors. In essence, traditional players are slower to move on technological advances and are finding themselves faced with serious competition from smaller companies because of this.

Big Data is also fast data. If one can obtain all the relevant data, analyze it quickly, surface actionable insights, and drive them back into operational systems, then one can affect events as they’re still unfolding. The ability to catch people or things“in the act”, and affect the outcome, can be extraordinarily important, valuable and dis- ruptive.”

The ability to make snap decisions and quickly move on Big Data insights is the advantage integrated data crunching models have over traditional silos. v. Lack of Skilled Workers

Based on several market studies, 37% of companies have trouble finding skilled data analysists to make use of their data. The best bet is to form one common data analyst team for the company, either through re-skilling your current workers or recruiting new workers specialized in big data.

You need to find employees that not only understand data from a scientific perspec- tive, but who also understand the business and its customers, and how their data findings apply directly to them. The inventive Solution: Data Integration under a new Data Model designed from ground up for Big Data

Data integration - or to be technical, data harmonization - is absolutely essential for getting the full advantage out of your Big Data. Data integration addresses the backend need for getting data silos to work together so you one can obtain deeper insight from Big Data.

Many people treat this topic as an afterthought— and that leads to security exposure, wasted resources, untrusted data, and more.

We must employ a new Big Data architecture with integration and governance in mind from the very start. Not only will this save the j anitorial work that is inevitable when working with data silos and big data, it also helps to establish the fourth“V” - veracity. In other words, the trustworthiness of data, which will underpin the au- thority of any insight one can gain from analyzing data. In this context, Integration through uncompromised Generalization is the only technical solution Possible. It must be accomplished through a system, which lets the user find any answer inside his data instantly, without bias, and within a probabilistic framework for under standing its behavior in dynamic systems data in motion leads to analysis in mo tion.

2. The three technical up to now unsolved problem domains the inventive C+8 Technology solves by design (below A-C):

A. Finding deeply hidden facts and information in big data

In a polling, conducted in May and June of 2018, by the inventors, 11 international leading data experts where presented with this query below (Next Slide).

They were asked, if there was any known technology, which could resolve this query with a single input, given access to unlimited amounts of data and machine resources.

All experts answered without exception, that it was impossible for anyone to do this with a single request, using any known systems or tools, but rather to brake the task into many separate projects, to resolve the Query. In most or all cases, the tools would be unable to identify or process the meaning of the syntax (see below), the instruction content, or the required data elements within the available data pool.

<Instruct:> <Resolve Query>;

<Find range> of {local/regional} {Events}

<organized> by {Persons} or {Groups}

<with> a {Concept=Political Affiliation} of {Yj which

<associate> under the {Concept} of {C} which taken place <between> {Time/Date} and {Time/Date} and { potentially }

<with> { Probability}= {<80%} will <take place> till {Time/Date} <within> the {Geography}= {XXI} and/or {XX2j, which

<involve>, (the {Event} + {Concept}= {A, Cj)

<or> (the {Event} {Concept}= {B}), and

involving within> any qualifying {sub-event}

{Persons} with a history of {Concept}= {Dj,

{not being Members} of { Group}= {G1 or G2},

and are either { Behaviou }:

{Definition}={producing {and/or} marketing Products} of the range {Object}= {A, B, Gj

<cause> {function yx2} in {markets}, which

<reside in> the {Geography}= {xyz-1},

{or} { Geography}= {xyz-2},

<to> customers with a {profile/Behaviour}= {Yl, Y2 or Y3}”

<Instruct:> <End Query>; <output result>

The above syntax included 1 Query; 49 Variables; 34 hard, 15 fuzzy conditions, multiple inclusions, multiple exclusions, and many complex dependencies.

Such query can only be solved, if there is a systemic approach, to collect and iden tify, and organize data through a holistic multi-dimensional process, where all data has a natural order and position within the information lake, which lets any infor mation be found intuitively by the system, every time.

B. Bias by design

Bias reflects critical features of experimental planning ranging from:

• the design of an experiment to support rather than refute a hypothesis;

• lack of consideration of the null hypothesis;

• failure to incorporate appropriate control and reference standards; and

• reliance on single data points (endpoint, time point or concentration/dose). Of particular concern is the failure to perform experiments in a blinded, randomized fashion, which result in 3.2- and 3.4-fold higher odds, respectively, of observing a statistically significant result when compared to studies that were appropriately blinded or randomized. It is considered paramount that the operator, which is in- volved in data collection and analysis is unaware of the treatment schedule. How an outlier is defined and to be handled (e.g. dropped from the analysis), or what sub-groups are to be considered, must be established a priori and effected, usually before the study is un-blinded. Another important problem is the control of poten tially confounding factors that can influence the outcome of a data analysis indi- rectly.

To solve all these problems, one must build a data analysis model, where all data interpretation is predefined through a generalized data classification model, to cut off all operator bias from any influence whatsoever.

C. Data Silos

Data Silos are a problem for both simple and complicated analyses, yet, all big data lives in Data Silos.

When data sources are siloed, it is impossible under current technologies, to con duct a simple enterprise-wide search of content. If you do not know exactly which system has the information you need, or it is stored in multiple systems, you must manually search multiple systems to find the answers you are looking for, wasting valuable time. If you forget to check a key system, or you don’t find every silo with relevant data, you will not have all the information you need to make the best pos sible decisions.

Silo data often contains duplicate information stored in individual siloes. When the same content is stored in disparate and unconnected systems, it’s difficult to know which source to trust. Which version is the correct version? How do you choose? What are the consequences of making the wrong choice? C+8 works just like a human brain only much more efficiently. Refer to Fig. 1. it is highly associative

it accumulates qualitative and quantitative measurements and organizes them as individual objects of memory and records of sensations, which blend without boundaries through its associative neurons, to compare and merge these objects with other associative knowledge to larger contextual structures

it memorizes information and memories as networks and associative sensa tions

It understands objects initially and predominantly through comparative recognition of physical and causal features; object names only become a secondary shorthand in communication with others persons.

The nine Prime Operators of the C+8 Data Model

The C+8 Data Model is build around 9 fixed Prime Object classes. The C+8 data Model Causality (Causation) is the first Object Class and central to the data model, much in the same way, as causality is the most important element in astrophysics, quantum physics or information science.

Pl Causation (Elements of Cause and Effect):

Why Causality in the C+8 Data Model?

The Extraction of Causality from Data is the single most important and most re warding task in the pursuit of Intelligence. Understanding Causality builds the logic prime feature of all knowledge of complex dynamic change.

Causality is the relation between an event and a second event, where the second event is understood as consequence of the first. In common logic, Causality is also the relation between a set of factors and a phenomena. Causality is a prime feature to knowledge, and cannot be substituted, therefore centrally necessary, to under stand especially big

Causality (also referred to as causation, or cause and effect) is the natural or worldly agency or efficacy that connects one process (the cause) with another process or state (the effect ), where the first is partly or fully responsible for the second, and the second is partly or fully dependent on the first. In general, a process has many causes, which are said to be causal factors for it, and all lie in its past. An effect can in turn be a cause of, or causal factor for, many other effects, which all lie in its future. Causality is metaphysically prior to notions of time and space.

Causality is an abstraction that indicates how the world progresses. Causality is implicit in the logic and structure of ordinary language.

The nine fixed Prime Object classes of the C+8 Data Model are presented below, and explained below. Refer to Fig.2 which illustrates the 9 Prime Operators.

Whenever a object comes into existence for the first time, it will receive a perma nent IPv6 number, by which it will be known from that moment onwards. The C+8 IP Server assigns these numbers automatically, when appropriate.

Fig. 3 illustrates Raw Data initial processing is Step 1.

(1) raw data is collected, time-stamped, and all source information is in all detail preserved

(2) Next Step is the parsing of the C+8 Class Objects from instances of raw data and of different data types.

Raw Data Types are: Images, Text, Video, Sound and Numeric Data, or a composite of all or some of them (T, V, S, N)

Parsers work very different to extract C+8 objects from the various different types of (T,V,S,N) data, but they produce all the same type of object-outputs; the 9 object classes, which are in form of highly functional Data Fusion Objects (DFOs) with parser assigned IPv6 Number. (3) The Ipv6 Numbers are automatically assigned to every prime-object and permanent record, and a log is produced to record the assignments

Pl Causa- Causality or Causation is the relation between an event Yellow tion and a second event, where the second event is under

stood as consequence of the first. In common logic,

Causality is also the relation between a set of factors and a phenomena. Causality is a prime feature to C+8 knowledge management and cannot be substituted.

Causality (also referred to as causation, or cause and effect) is the natural or worldly agency or efficacy that connects one process (the cause) with another process or state (the effect ), where the first is partly or fully responsible for the second, and the second is partly or fully dependent on the first. In general, a process has many causes, which are said to be causal factors for it, and all lie in its past. An effect can in turn be a cause of, or causal factor for, many other effects, which all lie in its future. Causality is metaphysically prior to no tions of time and space. Causality is an abstraction that indicates how the world progresses. Causality is im plicit in the logic and structure of ordinary language.

P2 Per Any individual which is either human, or has human Red sons identification in some constructive way. Any human is

therefore a person, but also Superman or Micky Mouse, which can be understood as a characters, living in a car toon or movie world, but are seen through the lenses of personification and person-like features.

P3 Groups Anything that groups together under a common con Blue cept, such as tribes, cultures and nations, but also or ganizations, such as companies, NGOs or Associations.

Groups also occur in nature, such as a school of fish, a flock of birds, or a pack of wolfs.

P4 Con Concepts are mental building blocks by one or many Purple cepts persons or groups, which come in form of organizing

ideas, plans of action, strategies, systematic realiza tions of behavior and trends. Concepts can also be un derstood as ideologies, religions, feelings, believes, or creativity. Concepts lead normally to plans of imple mentation.

P5 Ob- Anything, that has a physical footprint of any kind, is Orange jects considered a object, except for humans. A object can

be hard and touchable, such as a stone; a car; a book to read, or in form of gas and invisible, such as our air in the atmosphere.

P6 Geog- A place anywhere. Typically used as geography in the Brown raphy traditional sense (a place on the surface of our planet),

but as C+8 object, it can also be the surface of the sun, or the inside of someone's’ pants pocket. Also, a ab stract place such as Atlantis, or Heaven can be ap proached as a element of geography

P7 Tech Any object, method or strategy (strategy may overlap Grey nology with concept) which came into existence by application of some intelligence, to apply willfully a change onto a object, substance or otherwise definable target, with the purpose to enable such object or target, or to be- come more efficient, to perform some intended change either on the object itself, or to shape the behavior of another object to perform some intended task or func- tion; primitive or sophisticated.

P8 Events Anything that has a hard or fuzzy timeframe (a begin- Green ning and a end or transformation, which is the end of one and the start of a new event) which is bound to some set of location or locations, and which involved the change; evolution; transformation, unfolding of something, which can be recorded as history, story, an ecdote, incident, occasion or record of what happened within a given time and place.

P9 Time Any term, which can define a moment, or range of mo- Black ments, past or future, precise or fuzzy, such as yester day at 13:30 GMT or tomorrow morning. Dates are ex tension frames of time telling, and also considered time objects.

Fig. 4 illustrates Adding the 5 causation-classification-elements.

Each of the 9 Prime Objects are further augmented and defined through the 5 cau- sation-classification-elements, all 9 prime objects are augmented, including the prime objects of Causality.

The 5 classifications of Causality are listed below. ID Name Definition Representational

Color

Cl Origin and His- This record will be filled with all Black/Yellow tory information about, where this ob- ject has been seen, with whom, and

what instance reference. What this

object caused in each known in

stance and from what source it was

learned

C2 Instance Every record, in which a Object Black/Red

was described, mentioned, or im

plicitly observed, becomes a in

stance record inn the history of this

object. Each instance is recorded,

by logging all other objects which

been present at such instance re

cording, including source of rec

ords, the person or machine causing

the existence of such record, and all

relevant time/date references.

C3 Association Each prime object in C+8 has a Black/Blue

IPv6 number, which turns all ele

ments of data into a network object

with functional communication

ports. Each association, either by

instance, or any other means such

as associative searches, calls,

pings, or random poles, are rec

orded in the object’s association records, including the exact cir

cumstances under which such asso- ciation took place, including time,

date, request, and other log infor

mation. Function and Be- All observed or recorded infor- Black/Purple havior mation with respect to the functions

or behaviors the actual object in the

real world has, which becomes rep resented by a object in the C+8 ob ject network, describing through

language, pictures, videos or other

media, the object’s function, act

ing, behaving, influencing, chang ing of any kind, voluntarily, or in voluntarily.

Example: Lets say, the computa

tional object is a“P5 Object” repre

senting the physical Object‘Wood

Chair,’ then the associated function

could for example be,‘supporting

sitting’ Physical Appear- All observed or recorded physical Black/Orange ance features with respect to the obj ect’ s

shape, materials, size, weight, ap pearance, or colors. In the example

of the chair, the description would

be “wooden” and “shape of a

chair,” ect. Fig. 5 illustrates further the initial C+8 Data mapping processing

Step 1 : Clinical Data Import process documents and other data in real time (when it received or extracted from the source), and record exactly, where and when these documents appeared (source and time- stamping) , ..

Step 2: Creating an Instance

Each incoming data unit (a document, a image, a video, a sound file, a numeric table) is a Source Instance. Each instance normally consists of multiple objects

Step 3: Extracting objects

Specialized Parser programs extract from each data instance all identifiable Prime- Objects of the 9 C+8 Prime Object Classes,

Step 4: Preserve associations

We record and preserve all associative relationships between all Objects of all of the 9 Prime Object Classes and elements of causation, which are found within any and each instance with respect to all C+8 objects inside the instance

Step 5 : Identify

In documents as well as in pictures, videos and radio broadcasts we can see, read, or hear objects described in the way they look (appear), what their form and shape is, or what materials they are made off. In many cases this information is explicit and in some it is an assumption (for example a object in the shape, appearance and colors of a work hammer is usually made from iron and wood).

In the following we use a short news story published by Reuters on 9 April 2018, to demonstrate some of the functions and how such objects are created “Monday, 9 April 2018

Hydro denies Brazil alumina plant contaminated local environment Reuters Staff

OSLO (Reuters) - Aluminum producer Norsk Hydro denied on Monday that its Brazilian Alunorte alumina refinery had contaminated local waters, con tradicting the findings of a Brazilian public health group.

Citing an internal study and a report commissioned from green consultancy SGW Services, Hydro said no evidence was found of overflow from its bauxite deposits or of any significant or lasting environmental impact.

The company has previously admitted making some unregulated spills of untreated water, which it said was“completely unacceptable”. Hydro reit erated on Monday that it would improve the plant’s water treatment.

Fig. 6 illustrates the same story as instance in parsed C+8 Prime Objects

(1) Our first standard view of the computer based world representation according to the invention.

Fig. 7 illustrates the Event-Time-Place- Story Elements.

Lets call this View the“Storyteller View” because this is how we tell a Story through objects, and record, how our universe evolves, step by step. As we learn more about anything in our in terms where when what occurred, we can add such information naturally to the correct information Object and replace/sharpen in many cases statistical assumptions with learned facts. • There is an Event, there are references to Geography (where the event hap pened); there is time (when what happens), and together we could call this the Event Space;

• There are elements, which play a roll in the event, such as Places, Objects, Persons, Groups of Persons, and always some form of Technology, which facilitates the event, and we could call this the Event Member Space;

• There are also Ideas and Themes, which address the underlying event-re- lated thinking, and we could call collectively all these Ideas and Themes amongst all Event Members the Concept Space;

• There is also Causality, which explains or tells the Story within the Event, and the actions between the Members, and their respective Concepts. Lets call this the Causality Space.

These 4 Spaces are 45 -dimensional, with respect to the defining elements of causation, and they can be in part statistically presumed and in part observed through actual data

(2) The second Standard View of Computer based World Representation

Lets call this View the Vertical View because this is how we record a object-centric view, focusing ONLY on the information belong to one individual object through out every instance in which this object was present.

Refer to Fig. 8. The World of Geography X

The World of Time X

The World of Object X

The World of Person X

The World of Concept X

The World of Group X

The World of Technology X The World of Event X

The World of Causality X

For example:

lets look at One particular Minute of the Universe, and Everything which occurred within that minute.

(3) The molecular formation of Information elements and resulting networks Molecular information clusters are created through the parsing process of texts, pic- tures or videos. Refer to Fig.. 9. Causality has a special purpose in that it defines the chain of detected evolution steps of the involving objects, which are described in either the object-originating text, displayed in Video, or extracted in the inference of multiple images.

How we refine (pre-filter, or narrow down) Knowledge Objects through Prime Ob- ject / Event / Instance associations and statistical comparative measurements ...

With reference to Fig. 10, let’s look at some examples.

A concept/believe/trend combined with Science and technology is potentially a sci- entific theory, a science or technology based idea, etc. (Fig. 10, left part). lets add a physical object such as a document or book and we talking about a tech- nical or scientific journal, a patent, or perhaps some news or opinion about a tech nical endeavor (Fig. 10, mid part).

In this example we add a person, which opens the probability to a scientist, a ma chine operator, a science teacher or technical instructor (Fig. 10 right part). In C+8 knowledge is defined through complex Prime Object which share a common denominator.

The left object cluster pegs person X, which is a research scientist for weather pat- terns to city Y on a specific date and time T

The right object is a conference building in City Y with is hosting an event on Cli- mate Change, with a group in conference room 4 waiting for sub-event“speech” How knowledge is defined through Prime Objects and Object Overlaps. Refer to Fig. 12. The causality Element is connecting these 2 objects:

Now we know for example, that Person X is delivering the Keynote Speech on Climate Change in the Event of City Y, Convention Center, Conference room 4. C+8 delivers“Meaning” through the molecular formation of Information. Refer to

Fig. 13. The First Prime Object is always the denominating element, all other ob- jects become defining features of this first prime object. Information is now a com plex but well structured and logic construct, defined through 8 additional prime objects, and all the elements of the 5 causation classes. This makes it very clear, compact and efficient, to describe a object with even lOOOs of attributes and com plex features.

4. The Information Technology of the C+8 System will be described below.

Using the 9 Prime Operators of the C+8 Data Model (refer to Fig. 14).

Using in conjunction to the 9 Prime Objects the 5 Causation Operator of the C+8 Data Model (refer to Fig. 15). 1 Explanation of the Association Model in C3 of Fig. 15: The object <Man> in {instance} X is automatically associated with all other Prime Objects of the same {Instance} such as <House>, <Garage>, <Car> and <Dog>. Each object has a Ipv6 number. Therefore there is a association expressed through IPv6 numbers between {Man House} {Man Garage} {Man Car} {Man Dog} . The {Instance} has its own IPv6 and is therefore the shell of this particular association cluster. A in stance can be a <Prime Object> of another {instance}

When we parse raw data into C+8 data objects, we preserve, how reality unfolded, according to the data analyzed. The objects on the left side (Cl to C5) indicating the associative records of causation for each and all prime objects (Pl to P9). They indicate the object selection, time, place, event, physical properties, and behavior of, and between all prime objects within each instance. In this way we enable infor mation objects to become dynamic elements of streams of events or state conditions extracted from our data. We can reconstruct reality, insofar as it has been recorded in written or otherwise captured information. Refer to Fig- 16.

In connection with the following Figures, we will explain the technical step by step process and implications with respect to big-data processing

TEXT Processing is illustrated in Fig. 17. The steps ae described in the table below.

Step Process

1 Raw Data I harvested and separated by type, time=stamped and for mat, and then stored for processing in step 2

2 Data is analyzed for application of the most appropriate Parser Selec tion (text, tables, video, audio, images), and send to be processed into individual C+8 Prime Objects (Pl - P9) and associated Causation Ob jects (Cl - C5) 3 The parsers extract the Prime Objects from raw data. The same object can be parsed or identified as a different prime Object (for example: WW2 can be a Time, Event, Concept, Causality, or even a Geogra phy), depending on, in which context the object is appearing in the data; and more then one object parser can claim it in one instance 1

4 All Prime Objects from the same media (a document, or a picture, video, etc.) is grouped to a‘Instance.’ The same Object can (and in most cases will) occur in many different instances, even in a different object class (see Step 3).

5 The C1-C5 Parser is extracting from raw data causation information and writing to the appropriate information elements (C 1 to C 5 rec- ords) inside the Prime Object.

6 The Instance information is generated by extracting all Prime Objects and recording them with all its contextual and associative external root information, incl. Date, Time, Location, Source, Author, etc..

7 the Prime Objects are now augmented on a per instance bases with the appropriate C1-C5 causation objects, and unified to a inclusive and fully optimized prime object

8 The prime object is incased in token technology to become a complex

DFO (Data Fusion Object) which is identifiable externally through a C+8 DNA code for fast search and access

9 Object is implanted into life transaction environment

1 As to step 3, the process of object identification is mapped in such way, to capture and understand reality, its dynamics and implications at each moment and each sep- arate instance, which can make the identical object appear as different object class, and naturally with different causation elements. As the later should be expected, the first is, what opens the gateway to something, which is called’’meaning” in human’s conscious understanding or comprehension of things within situational awareness or conceptual thinking. It is therefore very important, that the parsing technology applied in the C+8 process is of such quality and and sophistication, that these dif ferences can be trapped and preserved in the parsing process. This is true for lin- guistic analysis, as well as for the analysis of Images, Videos, or Audio media. In Fig. 18 examples of how this applies in practice are given. The images are of a search for the {Object WW2} .

By creating an environment, where we can load the rich content of interpretation and understanding into a common data model, we are moving well beyond the con strains of classic metadata, and begin to capture multidimensional and fully associ- ative composite objects, in which we preserve time and information entropy to such degree, that we can re-enact, how reality unfolded, provided we capture enough data; refer to Fig. 19 as example.

2 The Data Records and write process of a Prime Object DFO is illustrated in Fig. 20. 3 How the Instance function works is illustrated in Fig. 21 and Fig. 22.

1 : Parsing Server reports all objects found in a raw data container (i.e. document, etc.) to Global Instance Server. 2: Global Instance Server is disambiguating the objects and checks for pre-existing

IPv6 records.

3: Instance Server writes new Instance X, assigns new IPv6 address to instance.

4: Instance Server is calling the local management Server in each Object and inserts Instance Record into each object recorded in the instance.

Summary (refer to Fig. 23): The C+8 Data Model and its 9 Prime Object Elements are bound by the central element of Causation.

This strict configuration of cognitive engineering is what powers the ability to ex- tract knowledge contained in the logic and structure of ordinary language.

The C+8 Prime Elements are: Events Concepts Groups People Objects Time Ge- ography Technology.

Each and every object of human awareness can be classified and sorted into one or more of the C+8 Prime Elements, providing the basic framework for Prisma’s pow- erful generalized C+8 Data Model.

Causation is what drives the accumulative knowledge capabilities of the QRM, be- cause it enables a systematic approach to generating new knowledge based on ex- isting knowledge.

Causation is the association made between one event and a second event, whereby the second event is understood to be a consequence of the first. Human cognition naturally organizes knowledge according to relations of cause and effect. It is one of the foundational concepts that renders the empirical world comprehensible to humans.

The C+8 Data Model is a dynamic identification, classification and categorization structure that parses features of raw data into associative, quantitative and qualita tive data objects centered around the element of Causation. C+8 data objects, are then stored and consequently fixed as generalized data objects in the ontological layers of the QRM architecture.

C+8 data objects are not stand alone static elements limited to one simple instance of discovery. C+8 data objects are highly complex, evolving, relational knowledge elements that are captured and stored along with their complete associative histo- ries.

As each new instance of information enters the C+8 environment, new C+8 objects are created and existing C+8 data objects are updated, recording their new-found properties, locations, behaviors. But most importantly, with each new instance of information, newly discovered connections based on Causation emerge between C+8 objects already recognized by the system. This creates a perpetually evolving, intricate web of understanding that can be broken down into simple parts and easily accessed through various visualization technologies.

Recreating the real world inside the Machine with the C+8 Data Model

C+8 solves the fundamental need of creating a laboratory environment, which re- produces the real dynamic world

This segment of slides is dealing with the native ability of C+8 to write the dynamic reality into 4-space and continuously use it, update it and use AI to extract hidden answers inside the data, which resemble the actual conditions, problems, solutions and changes found in the real world.

In our Model, the quality of the‘abstraction of reality’ (the computer based dynamic copy of the real world) is linked and depending on the quality, volume and density of information one can get to feed the abstraction. The more Data one imports into the C+8 system, the more realistic the model becomes over time. More big data is better, as opposed to legacy systems, where the adding of big data creates a more negative effect over time. C+8 serves a multi-universe view of its information, to give options from which perspective users to approach the real world

The C+8 model is growing and existing through the billions of small inserts the system is performing hour after hour through its data parsing software. The system is self-organizing by nature, and information can be recalled in any organizational approach the operator wishes to use. For example, the user can use a physical world view arranged around geographical and physical features. However, other system views can be used, such as political, economic or scientific organizational views, or a mix of any of them, without loosing any systemic connection, since all views, including contradictory views of the world integrate seamlessly.

Examples described with Fig. 24, Fig. 25, and Fig. 26.

C+8 Enables the tracking of any set of Objects through time, taking qualitative and quantitative measurements at each instance of recording, refer to Fig. 24, and Fig. 25.

Objects become strings in space-time, either fixed in geographic location, or mov- ing to different positions, if the object changes location, refer to Fig. 26.
