The Diamond Age By Neal Stephenson


... and where are we today?

Man I have loved this book since the moment I read it on an 8 hour flight across the country. Any dedicated hacker that catches wind of the prevailing programming concepts[of self-seeding matter and molecules] can't help but begin to consider adopting the perspective that enables self-expanding works from recursive generative algorithms.

The Diamond Age By Neal Stephenson Reviewed at memoirs on a rainy day: "to put together something they call the Seed, a way of being independent of the Feed and liberating his society.

The Seed, an advanced technology that would allow decentralized compilation of matter (as opposed to the centralized pipelines that currently supply basic molecules through the “Feed”). The “Seed” technology would be advantageous for Chinese culture, which is grounded in peasant labor destroyed by Western industrial society..."

Competitive and self-expanding code Seed strategies prevail in Redcode like nowhere else.

In the world of software languages, brainfuck right up there with a potential to first define the primitives and then define the side effects from seed values plugged in to the primitives.

Portable Resource Control in Java: Application to Mobile Agent Security

I work on an agent mobility platform also designed as an ESB. it is called owch2 on sourceforge.

while coding up a convention of bounded direct IO constant footprint i inadvertently came upon this reference, which is somehow uncannily relevant to the semantics of what I'm implementing, and has some relevant slides on transaction and security quota logic.

SEMAS01-slides.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Without being there with the lecture, much of it is a ambiguous without the J2SEAL codebase being cited until very late in the slide order.

Nonetheless slide shows are the right way to deliver any sort of mobile object discussion, due to the mind-bending nature of building mobile agents and thinking in terms of what can be accomplished by collective and adaptive computing and resource migration.

This as one of a handful of search results for memory quotas in java, 2 of which seem to be agent systems, illustrates the rarity of conservative and/or realtime java consideratins in the wild. a durn shame.

nice going guys!

props to the authors!
