Part 5
In my last blog we started talking about the endless possibilities with ExoTech. But if the possibilities are endless, what makes them that way? Is it just the fact the components in the system are all separate? That has a lot to do with it, but there’s another important element that comes into play.
Each of these components is a special and unique thing. So, let’s explain that by way of another analogy. What if every time you spoke to someone, they didn’t know what you meant? Here’s an example:
You: “Can you please fax Mr. Brown confirming the order was received today?”
Them: “Do you mean send a piece of paper with a facsimile copy on it? … Or are you talking about the machine that makes copies? … Or the copy itself?”
You: “Arrrrgh!”
It sounds ridiculous, because people don’t think like that. They know the word “fax” has several different meanings and they can tell which one you’re using just by the context of the situation and how you use the word. That’s how people think. It’s simple.
But today’s computers don’t think that way. They identify words by the spelling of the word, not the meaning. So it’s like this:
You: “Fax Mr. Brown about the order.”
Today’s computer: (thinking … fax = f+a+x = fax) “I don’t know what you want. Is there something on the menu you want? Take a look in my menu because you might find it there. If, not, try Help.”
You: “Arrrrgh!”
But here’s how it would go with ExoBrain:
You: “Fax Mr. Brown about the order.”
ExoBrain: (needing hardly any thought at all … fax = the action of sending a facsimile copy) “Done!”
You: “Ahhhhh, so I’m not an idiot after all.”
You see, Peter figured that if individual words had multiple meanings, (they’re little “One-to-Many” machines) then he would have to use meanings rather than words as the building blocks on which to build his system. He did the same with actions. Each meaning or action or code component is unique, so it allows a computer to “think” in much the same way a human does.
Of course there’s rather more to it than that, but it’s infinitely more simple than the One-to-Many principle – in One-to-Many machines the parts are basically “welded” together so they have to do the same thing over and over. An example would be a CD player … one CD player plays many CDs. But it doesn’t do much of anything else.
That’s why Any-to-Any machines are so powerful. The same components can be used over and over and over again, in different combinations, to create different things, just like Lego. And in the computer world, this is a revolution.
As a result ExoTech actually does away with the never-ending complexities in today’s computing. Now a computer can begin to solve problems that previously only humans could. ExoTech makes computers infinitely more versatile, but at the same time simpler to operate.
Aha, I hear you say, “That’s Artificial Intelligence!”
No. AI, which is the current buzzword for “progress” in the field of computing is actually an illusion! It’s simply a series of pre-programmed instructions and responses that cover a number of useful daily tasks … One-to-Many machines that clog up computers’ real potential. The word “Intelligence” is a definite misnomer.
ExoTech prefers the term “Human Intelligence.” ExoTech is essentially reactive rather than pro-active. This gives the assurance that even ExoBrain computing systems are truly controlled by human intelligence, the ultimate Any-to-Any system on the planet today.
ExoTech provides an incredibly user-friendly means of getting your computer to carry out increasingly complex instructions. The system learns as it goes forward and is linked to a central or “MotherExoBrain” that absorbs and imparts all the skills learned by every other ExoBrain (provided that the owners of those ExoBrains agreed to share their non-confidential information).
So, that’s the basic idea of how it works. In the next blog we can start taking a look at how it works for you.
An ExoTech Ltd shareholder, Chris is currently authoring two of the four books to be published the day ExoBrain launches and has helped to create ExoBrain’s introductory video to the Confidential Technical Briefing. Chris has spent his working life in the film and television industry, starting with BBC Television in London, then ATV in Birmingham becoming, at the time, the youngest Studio Manager in Britain.
Later, in South Africa, he wrote and directed film and TV commercials, having four South African entries at the Cannes Advertising Festival. After a number of years of writing and directing or producing documentaries (eight international awards) and corporate videos, he concentrated on writing feature film screenplays (five screened) and television series (seven screened). He has a novel, ”Pursuit of Treachery,” with a literary agent and is currently obtaining finance for an action adventure feature film he has written and is co-producing. He is a published poet and has given many readings.
