Clique Space(TM) and topics on the "Self"

If Clique Space proves a concept as efficacious as my firming hope leads me to believe it will, there are three basic topics (garden paths) concerning the definition of "Self" that I think this system will play a central role in.

  1. The super-self, and an Emergent Social Sentience.

    A Clique Space system like I envisage the "Public" Clique Space to be would provide individual selves (you, me, and others) an environment in which our activity might collectively become so intertwined that the Public Clique Space itself might begin to display synergistic coordinated responses to stimuli that are based on the activity of individual users.

  2. Evolution of Synthetic Sentience.

    Clique Space systems might be designed to remain physically separate from others in such a way that an individual Clique Space may encompass its own level of autonomy. A Clique Space system might be employed in a manufactured article (some type of robot) to give it a degree of autonomy which would furnish it with a level of awareness.

  3. Definition of the Physical Self, and the Human Body as Just Another Client Device.

    A Clique Space user may consider devices they express themselves through as a means to an end for their own self-expression. The human body, being a physical artifact, would necessarily be expressed in a Clique Space system as a collection of one or more Client Devices. As all Client Devices use the common model through which they are expressed, the idea of the individual has a human form will begin to dissolve. Indeed, an individual on Clique Space may exist beyond their human form.
Very interesting subjects...

Self-simulation: Getting closer.

Twenty minutes after my last post, I was able to successfully project the elements I needed to project to the Client Device making the request. Now, I am working on the leave operation for the Agent Collaboration's Clique Space.

After that is implemented, a few more customisations to the operation of the Agent Device and its Agent Device Clique Space will allow a particular Agent Device on which its Agent Device Clique Space receives and accepts instruction to disband, to hence abruptly disconnect all Client Devices in all Clique Spaces which the given Agent Device is the Client Devices' server, disband all Agent Collaboration Clique Spaces in which the given Agent Device is the Owner, leave Agent Collaboration Clique Spaces in which the given Agent Device is a mere Participant, and disengage itself from other Agent Devices through which it shares an association relationship before merrily shutting down.

One would certainly not want to issue a disband instruction to the Agent Device's Clique Space of the the public Clique Space's Owner Agent Device unless one was absolutely sure that the consequences fit the intent. This is certainly the quickest way to cause the most pandemonium.

Self-simulation: Almost there.

As of about 20 minutes ago, it looks as if I could join an Agent Device to an Agent Collaboration's Clique Space, although I have yet to project the Elements created on this Clique Space to the administrator Client Device from which the request was made.

More about this soon.
