INSC 2019 : Parallel sessions of the conference are devoted to self-organized workshops, for instance, for promoting a project, diffusing its results and/or gathering impressions and comments. It will be organized during the last day of the conference and will be open-access to everybody.
This proposition concerns the promotion of a project of Languedoc-Roussillon participative science and research shop on the diktyology of interdisciplinarity identified as a multitude.
_________________

In this note, the dates are printed in bold. This is to help to relate events together and to emphasize the time that the emergence of "new" concepts and technologies requires in a global, complex, and interdisciplinary world.
Please also note the difficulties created by English idiosyncrasies such as "people" for the "individual persons" (fr. "gens") and "peoples" for an organized class of individual persons (fr. Peuple), "global" for the " entire world", and less oriented toward the French meaning of "all of the parts of a whole"), and the lack of polynym (multilinguistic strict synonym) for the French "savoir", translated in the internationally binding document as "true knowledge" not to be confused with "common knowledge".



Dear organizers,

There probably are several ways to introduce a civil society project of a Languedoc-Roussillon subregional participative science and research shop (PSRS) project aiming at diktyologically supporting interdisciplinarity (ID). It will be introduced as a taxonomy from its global networking background, showing how the "internet science" perspective fits in a more general "global [1] network" context, whose contexture is a multitude's [2] diktyology [3] that deeply spans from an interdisciplinarity that we want to participatively support.

Like every other discipline, diktyology, i.e. the discipline of networking interligence [4] shares the motto, "bring data"; until now, the only multitude that we could consider for data and experimentation was the augmented multitude of people, which is already regulated by states and networks engineered by GAFAs. Now, interdisciplinarity becomes a demanding multitude, having data to offer on its own to their demands, and a myriad of contents that are a partly structured interligent set.

To be understood, every discipline needs the help of all of the other disciplines.

  1. global being used in the French meaning of the "sum of all of the parts of a whole, and then larger than this whole".
  2. philosophical category that is not related to the formal, effective, or final cause. In political philosophy: those without a social contract with a sovereign authority.
  3. diktyologic: which relates to networking.
  4. "interligence": by which "everything is interconnected". Its diktyologic discipline is then generalized as the science of networks and structured complexity/simplexity, possibly by opposition to stochasticity, the category of multitudes, and a clearer understanding of chaos (debated).
 

The internet technology background

 

In 1978, three network science models were under public operations that Robert Tréhin, head of Tymnet Europe, together with the promoter of this project [1], proposed Louis Pouzin (INRIA) to interconnect.

The internet basic model

 
The internet technological project roots in July 1978, Vint Cerf's IEN 48 "THE CATENET MODEL FOR INTERNETWORKING".
IEN 48 begins as follows :
"The term "catenet" was introduced by L. Pouzin in 1974 in his early paper on packets network interconnection [1] The U.S. DARPA research project on this subject has adopted the term to mean roughly "the collection of packet networks which are connected together."
In this document, Vint Cerf first explains the needs of rules for network interconnection which make the catenet a confederation of co-operating networks, and attempts to define the objectives and limitations of the ARPA-internetworking project and to make explicit the catenet model on which the internetworking strategy is based.
These objectives are:
  • "Basic objective: to establish a model and a set of rules which will allow data networks of widely varying internal operation to be interconnected, permitting users to access remote resources and to permit intercomputer communication across the connected networks."
  • "One motivation for this objective is to permit the internal technology of a data network to be optimized for local operation but also permit these locally optimized nets to be readily interconnected into an organized catenet. The term "local" is used in a loose sense, here, since it means "peculiar to the particular network" rather than "a network of limited geographic extent." A satellite-based network such as the ARPA packet satellite network, therefore, has "local" characteristics (e.g., broadcast operation) even though it spans many thousands of square miles geographically speaking."
  • "A second motivation is to allow new networking technology to be introduced into the existing catenet while remaining functionally compatible with existing systems. This allows for the phased introduction of new and obsolescence of old networks without requiring a simultaneous global change."

The intermediate OSI model

 
In parallel, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), documented Hubert Zimmermann from INRIA [1], recognized the special and urgent need for standards for heterogeneous informatic networks and decided to create a new subcommittee (SC16) for “Open Systems Interconnection.”
"The initial development of computer networks had been fostered by experimental networks such as ARPANET or CYCLADES immediately followed by computer manufacturers. While experimental networks were conceived as heterogeneous from the very beginning, each manufacturer developed his own set of conventions for interconnecting his own equipment, referring to these as his “network architecture.” The universal need for interconnecting systems from different manufacturers rapidly became apparent, leading IS0 to decide for the creation of SC16 with the objective to come up with standards required for “Open Systems Interconnection.” The term “open” was chosen to emphasize the fact that by conforming to those international standards, a system will be open to all other systems obeying the same standardization throughout the world. "
"The first meeting of SC16 was held in March 1978, and initials revealed that a consensus could be reached rapidly on a layered architecture that would satisfy most requirements of Open Systems Interconnection with the capacity of being expanded later to meet new requirements. SC16 decided to give the highest priority to the development of a standard Model of Architecture, which would constitute the framework for the development of standard protocols."
"After less than 18 months of discussions, this task was completed, and the IS0 Model of Architecture called the Reference Model of Open Systems Interconnection was transmitted by SC16 to its parent Technical Committee on “Data Processing” (TC97) along with recommendations to officially start a number of projects for developing on this basis an initial set of standard protocols for Open System Interconnection."
"These recommendations were adopted by TC97 at the end of 1979 as the basis for following the development of standards for Open Systems Interconnection within ISO. The OSI Reference Model was also recognized by CCITT Rapporteur’s Group on Public Data Network Services."

The next generation ACT model

 
In May 1978, Robert Tréhin [1] and the promoter of this project [2] had previously, proposed Louis Pouzin to "catenet" his Cyclade network with the international packet switch system (IPSS) of the public international operators that started operating at the end of 1977, under the next generation Tymnet's "Advanced Communication Technology". [3] (ACT). The connection only required a one kilometer cable that the IRIA/Laboria offices, Rocquencourt, France, and the Tymnet Engine installed at CII-Honeywell-Bull for Jean Ishbiah to develop the US Army ADA language on the Minneapolis MULTIX, itself on ARPANET.
Unfortunately, the French Government had just settled to close Cyclade and was to open the Transpac network public services in September 1978 (to support the Minitel national deployment).

  3. The ACT architecture was in most planes an architectural superset of datacoms as they have further been, hence its particular importance as well as for its UX/SX success and as an early operational reference of what is possible. The only plan it did not fully master was global routing by a lack of field validation time after the technology became (further on in 1985/1987) the radical model for public international network interconnections: routing was glocally supervised, but it needed to become uniform what required the power of a new machine generation that was ready but was not actually deployed.


The 1986 thirty year internet innovation moratorium

 
In February 1972, Tymnet [1] had started offering packet switch public transport service [2]. This initiated the legal ban of cross-subsidization between data transport and processing, which became an implied "pre-settled" in the deregulation legal/FCC logic.
However, by the mid-1980s, it became clear that the Tymnet technology - supporting by then 100% of the nascent international public packet services:
  • was effective at its mission to simultaneous offer data transport and on the fly processing under the name of "extended services"[3]
  • that its foreign user operators did not intend to be bound by US legal restrictions.
This was an international circumvention of US law and interests in a leading emerging and still unmastered industrial sector, where Nippon-European through the first IA generation, the miniaturization trend, smart objects, and minitelization of society, etc., were to play level with the US industry PC emergence.
 
TYMSHARE, which had been purchased by McDonnell Douglas [4], backed off by mid-1986 after having interconnected the internet to the IPSS in 1985,
  • providing enhanced TCP/IP access points (as one of the many technologies it supported)
  • closing TYMNET/Extended Services (T/ES), initiated and directed by the promoter of this project [5] Its FEC [6], smart environment, distributed citizen smart networking (µTymnet Engine [7]) oriented, etc. advancements were terminated.
  • separating from Douglas Engelbart, thus beheading his Augment division and abandoning his plans for an "augmented multitude" that required network extended services to be distributed on customers' μEngines (what was called "multimatics").
This restricted the then-emerging cyberspace Tymnet extended model to the "US model", preventing the architectural possibility of a "presentation layer uniform space" (PLUS) that was necessary to open extended servicing.
Until 2016, the IETF and then ICANN pursued this architectural "status quo" strategy, leading upper layers to be explored by the W3C (web services, semantic web, etc.) and extended layers to be forgotten (except partially by DDDS and OPES working groups).

Pursued networking architectonic research

 
Only INTLNET pursued the T/ES extended model exploration on a civil society research self-funded basis. It first led it to a private extension of the QNX. [1] OS (message-oriented MTX). This led it to a private extension of the QNX. [2] OS (message-oriented MTX). It was learned from it as to how it is possible to unbundle the upper layers from the OS and network provided layers (whatever they are), adopted as a neutral [3] "catenet" layers service.
Its current plans are a MontpeLab collective or participative smart-up that would port that architecture under the OS indifferent Erlang/Elixir Beam [4] virtual machine but suffers from the lack of programming expertise in that area.

  1. As a microkernel-based OS (now Blackberry), QNX is based on the idea of running most of the operating system kernel in the form of a number of small tasks, known as Resource Managers. The QNX® Neutrino® RTOS forms the software foundation for the Cisco CRS-1 Internet router.

  3. without a real command of the network, edge-network, and akamaïzation cartography wherein any debate on "network neutrality" is "wasted blahblah".
  4. Martin Svalin: Erlang’s BEAM VM is designed for the Actor model, where light-weight, independent processes communicate through messages, without shared memory that may leak. All data is immutable. This means that the BEAM is very good at what it does, but less flexible than the JVM. JVM is less opinionated about what you do with it, so it can support many different approaches to concurrency, programming paradigms, etc. There’s even an implementation of the actor model on the JVM called Akka. BEAM let you easily spawn millions of processes on a single machine, and OTP (Erlang’s framework for building distributed, fault-tolerant systems) will help create distributed applications that can be updated while the system is running.


Retronovative summary

 

In a nutshell, historically, three network science technosophies [1] have been experienced on a global basis, with a lesser and lesser architectural spectrum and, correlatively, more and more world attention, investment, traffic, and coverage.

  • TYMNET which aimed at smartly interoperating "agoras"[2]- through a 12+ layer model (explored by T/ES from 1985, then and still researched by INTLNET as an architectural fork).
  • CCITT/ITU which aimed at interconnecting networks (X75); through the OSI 7 layer model.
  • ARPA/IETF which aimed (cf. ARPANET objectives) at sharing [3] global access to computers and platforms; through a 4 layer model.
---
  1. while philosophy deals with the questions of man rising to man, technosophy deals with the questions raised by its technology. Ethitechnics is the technosophical discipline relating to judgments concerning technology issues both as purely technical and in relation to its societal end use.
  2. An agora is understood here as a delineated n-ecceity forming a space of exchanges wherein the whole is greater than the sum of the parts:
    • its data define its form,
    • its metadata (data on data) document the essence,
    • its syllodata (data between the related data) conditioning the interplay between its classes (departing points/ends) and its groups (destination points/ends),
    • its hyperdata (external linked data) form its outside.
    Examples of agoras: systems, diagrams, graphs, entelechies, atoms, planets, multitudes, networks, tensegrities, the universe, thought, peoples, states, politics, nature, ecosystems, cities, amphitems (systems of systems), weather, critical states, languages, bodies, brains, etc., each of us.
    Another aspect of agoras should be studied: Aristoteles's "places" (e.g. common place) has been replaced by Descartes's "spaces" (e.g. cyberspace). The agoric context might be understood by many traits as the interligence of inmesurable multitude. This is probably a key aspect of a deeper understanding of complexity/simplexity and of the contexture of a context.
  3. it was a parallel research to the time-sharing concept in order to reduce infrastructural constraints.


Lessons from these three doctrines now meet several issues for which searchers, developers, and users need support:

Theory

 
Networks and their growth have been all over the research and business place for fifty years, yet they are still subject to the entropic Shannon Theory. No one has engaged, but T/ES, and INTLNET further on, into the research of a neguentropic general network theory, considering relational synergetic resonance and intellition as information through networking tensegrity and agoric intellection [1].
We still are within the G3's (Great Greek Geek: Aristotle) understanding: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." We did not technosophically elaborate much. Therefore, where, among many, many others, does the internet growth, positive evolution, and universe expansion come from?


Semiotic

 
Network communication refers to the dissemination of knowledge by the exchange of data presented by signs in a common syntax, via links obeying at least graph theory and information and communication theories.
At a deeper level, a theory of semiotic networks (intersem) is still to be developed that will probably confront much "network science" and "agoric" (Cf. infra) polylectic reasoning, both applied by natural and artificial intelligence.
It is, therefore, necessary to have a uniform network language that the four TCP/IP layers cannot include (by lack of layer six). In the absence of this, several semantic approaches have been tried to correct this problem with average success (Semantic Web, IEML, etc.). The challenge of ID requirements can offer a lower-cost resolution in two steps (this seems to be an ally to be explored and dipped into).
  • first step: treatment of scientific/sapiensic semiotic presentation, semantic addressing, and standardization of exchanges.
  • second step: disseminate the practice and solutions of the first step through the emerging IoT of civil participants in participatory science and research.
 

Multilinguistic challenge

 
For fifty years, this year, the technical issue of linguistic domain names has been dividing Internet usage, something ICANN's commercially oriented policy has not helped for twenty years. A global communication ecosystem is not a communication system between people when RFC 3935 "A mission statement for the IETF" politically [2] states that: "The IETF uses the English language for its work because of its usefulness for working in a global context."
Today, translation technologies' performances show that the "sapiens plus machina" augmentation should progressively overcome the "Babel problem".
 

Terminological demand

 
"You can't use an old map to explore a new world" (Einstein). There is a plethora of diginumeric and networking concepts that the "internet moratorium" helped to constrain, which we now need to help emerging from better understanding and describing our "plus machina" universe. There is a need for an open sapience diktyologia (interdisciplinary ontology network) meshing of their interligence [3] with a graduative scope inter-taxonomy and thesauri. Further than "permissionless innovation," our new paradigm needs to be "constraintless exploration". Helping this need is what this proposition is about, in pursuing an open exploration cartography.
---
  1. what is deemed as necessary for the interligent coherence of the gathered information: truth is an information necessity.
  2. The experience of ISO shows the interest for global consensus and research of the French/English bilingualism.
  3. "interligence" : by what "everything is interconnected".
 

Extended orthotypographical needs

 
Orthotypography is the aspect of typography that defines the meaning and rightful usage of typographic signs, and elements of the layout while the composer must both address its machine (markups) and its future reader in its cultural, typographical, and linguistic context, when the experience of UNICODE and the man/machine signaletic shows a proliferation of new graphic a-linguistic signs and conventions.
This has been identified by Evelyne Broudoux, Gérald Kembellec and the Montpellier MSH team (Lise Verlaet and Hans Dilaert) as the "écrilecture" a continuation of the middle-age "lettrure" that should be extended to an "écri-bali-lecture" and introduced into the CLDR [1], adding the markup languages to the langtags (RFC 5646) existing structure (language, typography, societal context). The project promoter was a notorious contender in the finalization of the langtags RFCs which delineate the cultural "plus machina" human support.
  1. The Unicode CLDR provides key building blocks for software to support the world's languages, with the largest and most extensive standard repository of locale data available. This data is used by a wide spectrum of companies for their software internationalization and localization, adapting software to the conventions of different languages for such common software tasks.


Technology

 
"Architecture is politics" (Lawrence Lessig): the technology by the US and now Japanese/Chinese industry is the way of control on the network and on the human thinking. Mainly, the leadership was through hardware (machines and bandwidth). The evolution is toward a software actor model and brainware (making the machines work for us).


Technological strategic evolution

 
The catenet (the network of the network infrastructure of the internet) is the largest shared material investment ever of humanity, by governments and industry. There is no realistic way to modify it. The IP plug and socket must, therefore, be accepted as they come. However, the "GAFGov" long-term technological strategy and economy are targeted at protecting them against the IoT practices that will increase the users' self-empowerment capacities and spirit.
Until now, RFC 3869 ("IAB Concerns and Recommendations Regarding Internet Research and Evolution") documented "the need to further the evolution of the Internet infrastructure" as a "consistent, sufficient non-commercial funding is needed to enable such research.":
"The principal thesis of this document is that if commercial funding is the main source of funding for future Internet research, the future of the Internet infrastructure could be in trouble. In addition to issues about which projects are funded, the funding source can also affect the content of the research, for example, towards or against the development of open standards, or taking varying degrees of care about the effect of the developed protocols on the other traffic on the Internet"
"The result of reduced U.S. Government funding and profit-focused, low-risk, short-term industry funding has been a decline in higher-risk but more innovative research activities. The industry has also been less interested in research to evolve the overall Internet architecture because such work does not translate into a competitive advantage for the firm funding such work.
"The IAB believes that it would be helpful for governments and other non-commercial sponsors to increase their funding of both basic research and applied research relating to the Internet, and to sustain these funding levels going forward."
 
The US government's response has been to withdraw further and oppose its replacement by any stakeholder group at the government level, even by the United Nations. What IAB did not envision was that states have their own vision and want to both rule the merchants and civil society.
What has actually been ramping up over the past decade is the "GAFGov": the alliance of the merchants and the regalian. That was feared, but also aroused by the IAB (RFC 3869, see above), and worn, on the side of "other" states, by France: Mounir Mahjoubi (see closure of the IGF at UNESCO last November), Henri Verdier, former boss of the DINSIC, initiators of "state start-ups" and our ambassador for Digital, and President Macron in his exchanges with Zuckerberg.
This was prepared by RFC 6852 (modern standardization paradigm, between IEEE, IAB, IETF, ISOC and W3C, http: //open-stand.org). This RFC is pragmatically a good thing at the low layers level to which is confined the TCP/IP model. However, it is also incomplete [1]. There is no intergovernance of the global technological and syntactic intercompatibility (the presentation, and above layers of the OSI model). It divides the "interexchange within the multitude" (what must allow and support the global "catenet" [2] in merchantable and political "global communities", described as "benefits for humanity", and in fact GAFGovs' zones of influence.


Current Evolution

 
The technical contexture is, however, changing, as one observes it through the Montpellier MSH Numerev project:
  • until now, the demand for innovation came from markets, the "global communities"' of RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for Standards"). Innovation focused on empowering citizenship within an augmented multitude, with hardware-oriented industrial research, marketing and IoT deployment, a huge investment far beyond what civil society and research could conjugate.
  • we now see that demand for innovation is now also emerging from interdisciplinary research for networking and semantic addressing support. That layer concerns much more in-depth (influencing) and yet less expensive research that aims to integrate concepts into a software-defined network (SDN) environment. It could be a breakthrough in which MontpelNet can and wants to be a part.
  • the state and merchants influenced multitude of people, saturated by rules, contradictory considerations, studies, fake news, political controversies, etc. get out of the reach of the "open source" and civil society for a realistic near future. However, interdisciplinarity appears as a commanding and test-bed field for technological advancements, with similar multitude-oriented requirements [3]. It becomes realistic to consider interdisciplinarity as an alternative area of consideration, research, development, and validation<. Which is more economically conceivable, yet altogether permitting to advance and experiment on solutions that will be replicable to other multitudes, such as the one of people's capacitation.
---
  1. the promoter has had to make two precautionary appeals to the IESG/IAB to mark this point.
  2. the network of Louis Pouzin's networks, whose lower layers were adopted by Vint Cerf in 1978
  3. not yet the augmented multitude of common citizens, but the multitude of universitary and civil scientists.
 

Architecture

 
Many architectural additions to Internet technology are needed to meet the needs of users. These additions that belong to the upper layers have been engaged separately, such as the Web application and screens. However, there is an intermediate architectural need that precedes all of them, namely extending the use of the Internet to the presentation layer. This requirement is tersely but definitely documented (but not yet investigated as such) in RFC 1958 ("Architectural Principles of the Internet"):
in "an end-to-end protocol, the design should not rely on the maintenance of the state (i.e. information about the state of the end-to-end communication) inside the network. Such a state should be maintained only in the endpoints [] The network's job is to transmit datagrams as efficiently and as flexibly as possible. Everything else should be done at the fringes."
This calls for a cheap, smart, securitized, and multilingual "fringe to fringe" way to relationally use and extend the "end to end" internet architecture. With the proper IPv6 or LISP addressing and self-DNS authoritative zone management that this should lead to.
  • the dissemination of the "neb" agoric concept: the private glocal agora gathering the nebular of all its (natural or virtual) person's connected processes, both locally and throughout the Web.
  • U2U connection (User to User) type within the web or to a neb gateway or a NAS.
An IETF like "rough consensus and running code" project about a replicable and refutable cyberplus experiment, with a joint analysis of its trans-agora nomology, fits well in participatory open-source glocal projects such that it can be considered, developed, and experimented on by its participants.
 

Hardware

 
The general merchants' trend is to the multiplication of hardware device types and, moreover, with the IoT.
Such a trend, observed since the mid-1980s, is a way for market contenders to fragment the market into technologically captive global communities. The only response is machine virtualization.
In an increasingly more SdN oriented context, hardware will be considered through their bot access and application I/O as a "smart address" with a clearer separation between network and functional supports.
A special brand of hardware is "smart housing". Much has been considered in this area, but rather few in a glocalization of people's lives. [1]
---
  1. INTLNET has led a "telematic city" study with the CNET in Lannion, participated in the studies for Aix-en-Provence and has learned about the current "Bimby" trend ("Build in my backyard", become "Beauty in my backyard in England, through the Prince Foundation) and proposes the Bimby 2.0 local urbanism concept for "Business in my-back-yard".
 

Software

 
Similarly, software should evolve gradually to multifunctional/actor model architectures and compositions, distinct from the development of application software. Actors must be named and addressable. A semantic addressing system (SAS) should facilitate interdisciplinary relationships if compatible addressing schemes and extended services are to be used.
The focus will be on extended services (smart network services to the content) depending on a "Machina" interoperation command language proposition. The hope is that the interdisciplinary might help toward such a common man-machine language through best practices and inter-agoras (between "global communities"' markets) interchanges and interrelations.
One of the attempts of the introduced project will be to federate interests in interagora operational compatibility. The "Machina" language project should be a good propagator.


Brainware

 
The "plus machina", or cobotics, is the field of man-bot cooperation. One will call "capax" the human capacity to master its "plus machina". Capax will be the human capacity to adapt to environmental and societal changes, including the changes it has itself caused. The "plus machina" is a significant change that leads humans to become "more human" because it allows humans to express and better leverage their natural abilities.
The expected first impacts could be in:
 

Agorics

 
One should differentiate nature into two main layers: material and mental (or cerebric) without prematurely dipping in the delineation line: nature might have its own habits (Russell) [1] and ecosystemic "ascendency" [2] (Ulanowicz). Simplexity [3] seems to be when a monolectic discourse can carry out the cybernetic job. Logic is then when dialectic enables surviving the complexity of the world.
Agoric thinking is when a polylectic approach permits you to be in tune with the universe physics and anoptic dynamic [4]. Together with TYMSHARE/Augment's Collective IQ, Tymnet Extended Services gave a glimpse at what thinking the network along agoric lines can permit; also, the power a mathemagoric, probably multimaticaly addressed, approach of infodynamics [5] would represent (let consider the current concern about network engineering and fake news).
In a nutshell, Aristoteles considered that barbarians were the peoples without agoras. Humans are people with an agoric mentality. Each of them is now capable of polylog as a "homo sapiens plus machina".
---
  1. Considerations about interligence architectonic schemes and/or multitudes' schemata in an anoptic (Cf. infra) context (Cf. Kant) belong to a technosophic issue and it is probably worth considering in an interdisciplinary context (deep research near the boundaries of the thematic of this perferent).
  2. Ascendency is a quantitative attribute of an ecosystem, defined as a function of the ecosystem's trophic network. Ascendency is derived using mathematical tools from information theory. It is intended to capture in a single index the ability of an ecosystem to prevail against disturbance by virtue of its combined organization and size.
  3. simplexity seems to belong to the natural nomology as does the principle of least action. Newton, "Nature is pleased with simplicity", Dalton, "rule of the greatest simplicity," and Einstein, "Nature is the realization of the simplest conceivable mathematical ideas." It could be a general homeostatic emergence of agoric complexity.
  4. This is in tune with the general consideration for the "opening" of the Copernic-Newton causal closure.
  5. Infodynamics should be the branch of physics that deals with information and the properties of matter. A common example is the metal memorization of shapes. Resolution to simplexity seems to belong to that discipline of interligence.
 

Mathetics

 
The consideration of augmented learning was a theme introduced during the day of the IAE in Montpellier on "the uberization of the university" as a research topic to be studied in-depth (probably in continuation with exploration of the work of the « L'Omnium pédagogique » [1]). A scientific and participative research workshop should be an ideal place to explore such an issue among teachers, students, experts, local decision makers, and current users.

  1. INTLNET had Edmond Campagnac (first Directeur informatique d'Air-France as a member, from their team (Wiener, Coufignal, Campagnac: the LERDA cooperated to the review of their conclusions. Initially, the Omnium was 7, rue des Frères Lumière, à Rueil-Malmaison. Their theme was "cybernetic teaching" through the "emergences method"/ Further research would probably have real interest.
 

Smart-ups

 
A new business culture should result from U2U (user to user) relations and extended services where investment is brainware rather than moneyware, and may lead to a community franchising [1]. We have to remember that diginumeric needs become everyone's commodity that needs to be daily and locally supported in the case of an incident.
Reflexion, support, and training in smart-up preparation and creation as well as a local mutual smart-up hub are among what can be expected from a smart participative science and research shop experimenting on the advancement of its own solutions and organizing mutual tutoring for a junior/senior style project and enterprises.

Moneyware

 
Money production is historically associated with regalian privileges. Cryptomonies have now become a network technology that states might try to recover [1].

  1. if generalized to every financial transaction - the mining fees would represent the total amount of the world's taxes (around 0.2%)


Mnemware

 
A deeper impact calls for the emergence of a still more fundamental notion that Ampere has identified through "mnematics", the science of what his first understanding of cybernetics, as the efficient governance science, deals with: the "mneme". The mneme is in the present the set of traces of the past which makes its various possibilities for the future. In its context a human being understood as a biomaterial-and-mental network of the body, the mneme, the intellect actor, and its conscience.
Decenial LERDA work on the "mneme" concept is becoming relevant with the buzz from the "black memory" series, the "Roman bot" or the "New Rembrandt". [1]
---
  1. The "La Cantarelle" association, belonging to the INTLNET proximity, is particularly interested in exploring the mneme, of a couple of civil society searchers, through their plurithematic corpuses.
 

History

 
Consideration of the general and diginumeric history is where the concept of the retronovation comes from. Since humans came out of the forest, we grew crops, built villages, cities, empires, land and maritime roads, have segregated in feudalism and aggregated as democracy, and now, we reaggregate our thinking, economic, political, and mechanical systems in networks with some hesitation between past strongly centralized and new meshed uncertain networking.
During this process, we accrued considerable experience that is able to bring us data on who we are together and what our new "anthropobotic" society is that we have to better know and reprocess with the help of our new "plus machina", in particular for the present part since Poincaré engaged us in our today "postmodern capacity".
Technological influences of the last 30 years will probably be soon forgotten and will have taught us lessons about the power of institutional resilience and hysteresis.

Functionalities

 
Several basic functionalities and their functional ecosystems will most probably emerge from the fringe to fringe and U2U/PLUS extended context.
The participative science and research shop (PSRS) will intend to maintain a bundle of informative, exploratory, and research bundle of perferents (cf. infra) and tutorials to the advantage of the subregional specific discipline laboratories, civil interest works, and "smart-up" projects and ventures.
Currently, the guessed new functional system areas are:
  • JSON and intelligram: as per the IETF work on JMAP, plus the INtLNET's concept of "delineation", and DJSON, delineated json (delineation between versions of the datamap).
  • perferents (from Cicero's "perferendum") as dynamically maintained and extended digital documents. Documents are what is sent by one or several simultaneous signatories; a perferent is whatever is collected by destinies and readers.
  • bliks : interactive books. Integrated multiservice thematically specialized bundles of perferents.
  • PLUS architecture as "plugged layers on the users' side", i.e. interfacing to the integrated, no-spam, extended dataware, "Presentation Layer Uniform Space" allowing to use an extended internet feature transparently through disciplinary-specific secure protocols.


Multitude's nature and societal case

 
To understand the participative research interests in multidisciplinarity for networking, it is necessary to situate the Internet in its historical context of political philosophy evolution and explore its man-augmented [1] environment.
---
  1. and affected ...


The fundamental problem


"To find a form of association which defends and protects with all the common strength, the person and the property of each partner, and by which each, uniting with all, obeys only themselves and remains as free as before".
Such is according to JJ. Rousseau the fundamental problem of the Social Contract.


The modern debate

 
Documenting the incidents of the "Ciompi" wool workers in 1378 in Florence, Machiavelli has made a difference between "the people" that are democratically organized by a social contract with a sovereign state, and "the multitude" of those without a social contract. Baudin worked on the sovereignty of the state, Spinoza considered the question of the multitude and Hobbes documented, in his « Leviathan », the political philosophy of the modern state, further on stabilized by the treaty of Westphalia and the French Revolution.
Hobbes' analysis roots in his book "The Elements of Law, natural and politic":
  • About the individuals, they are many and do not yet make a person, and one cannot say that an action made in a multitude of assembled people is the action of the multitude.
  • It turns out that the multitude is not unity and remains a summation of atomic units while the people are the retroactive outcome of the establishment of sovereignty.
For Hobbes, not being concerned by the state, the multitude is thereby antipopular: "The citizens, when they rebel against the state, are the multitude against the people" (De Cive, 1642). It shows how the modern-state paradigm feels about the internet networking of end users. Any free/open kind of self-organization by the users is perceived as a potential risk for the state-organized social equilibrium. This calls for rules and political care - as in the 1986 "internet moratorium" case, or the current mix between social network regulations [1] and investigations into the "smart contracts" concepts [2]
---
  1. Cf., Macron - Zuckerberg common appeals.
  2. current evolution of the "architecture is politics, code is law" of Lawrence Lessig, deeper into the smart nomology of the category of the multitude, i.e. of any multitude.


The postmodern debate


Our time has introduced a compromise between the rough multitude and the state organized people: the network society.
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has consensually agreed upon the way this equilibrium can be maintained through multistakeholder governance funded on cooperation between governments, civil society, private sector, and international organizations, toward an inclusive "true knowledge society" [1]. This society is to be "people centered, à caractère humain, centrada en la persona" (cf. World Summit on the Information Society, Geneva 2003, Tunis 2005).
The US and now Chinese and Russian attitudes toward the internet and the eagerness for ruling it by France, Germany, Facebook, etc. show that Lessig's adage "architecture is politics" is always and truly under the international spotlight.
---
  1. The English language has no word equivalent for (polynym to) the French concept of "savoir", the English version of the WSIS Declaration of Principles - Building the Information Society: a global challenge in the new Millennium - # 67


The change


These conclusions represent a fundamental social change from Nation-State to Network-State. The 1986 "internet moratorium" was not fundamentally an industrial and commercial move, even if McDonnell Douglas, then the leader of the military-industrial complex, carried it.
It actually was a "former world’s state" protection vs. a new world where citizens could too much or too soon empower themselves. Since then, the "GAFGov" business network restrictions have kept people as networked engineered consumers, under state surveillance. Thirty years later, Hilary Clinton, as Secretary of State, started investigating the IANA Transition plan. We have to be aware that the transfer to the social networks is not enough and that the U2U and a secure PLUS architecture will lead to increased people's empowerment. Worldwide [1] The RWAs trend [2] shows the interest for platforms to keep control on the users, while giving them the feeling they operate at home (they provide the CPU and possibly some data).

  2. Rich Web Applications.


Trust integration

 
The new social categorization of the networked society opens an important need, that of trust. The multitude is often identified with a horizontal response by mutual philia. Modern-state institutionalized trust. The networked Plus Machina era needed a networked Plus Machina integrated fiduciary response to stabilize. That response comes with:
  • the blockchain concept [1]. Open blockchains (Ethereum) or closed one (Hyperledger)
  • globalized reference, addressing and semantic cartography (e.g. IANA, DNS, SAS [2])
They are conditions of trust and confidence, in the ubiquitous, affordable, and pervasive global informational context.


Anoptic and interligence


The recent publication by Olivier Auber [3] of his thirty year scientific "Poïetic Generator" experiment [4] (it is renewable, refutable, measurable) about the Anoptikon, he dubs as the "invisible internet", introduces the general question of the "net-being", of the "net-imaginary-being", of the nature of the "net-State". In addition, of the nature of the diktyologic "interligence" understood as the universe complex fabric (the Latin "complexus') through what "everything is interconnected", and we survive in simplexifying (Cf. Berthoz) it in our individual ways: each of us building our sorite in it, that we call our life. We try to enlarge it to a virtual net-agoric perspective with the help of our "plus machina" where [5] we import our software, brainware, and mnemware.


Conclusions

 
All of this seem to show that the networked approach of transdisciplinarity, which is discussed herein belongs both to:
  • technology and diginumeric tools that transdisciplinary needs, as any other discipline.
  • transdisciplinarity by itself, not only as a useful metaphor but also as an integrated facet.


Anthropobotic paradigm :

 
Actually, the human multitude can organize in hierarchies as well as - this is what we are now discovering as the "paradigmatic change" - networks (of networks, etc. etc.). This is why Louis Pouzin's meme is impredicative: a network is what fits in it.


Networkian Law:

 
This note uses a certain number of new words to discuss the new concepts of the new reality of a "plus human" paradigm that we just identified as a multitude's network institutionalization becoming a growing augmented people centered alternative for augmented people, permitted by the "plus machina", to the traditional pyramidal organization by the people for the people.
Such a trend seems to correspond to the spirit of multi-stakeholder inter-governance that is spreading through our international management of areas whose lives are subject to new technologies.
  • This cannot be indifferent to the relational nomology of people as we build that of the machines that connect them and become entangled in our lives, especially since we have consensually decided that our new "true knowledge" society should be people-centered. Therefore, while the network of machines is built by its protocols, the society of people is built by the law. This means that a new Law must emerge, and its practice must adapt to the coherence of our new paradigm.
  • This notion of coherence seems fundamental, since people, their communities, and their organizations are both subject to the existing laws and to those that are pragmatically born from the source and architecture of our technological systems.
  • However, in so doing, the legal system that has institutionalized the city and citizens, then the state and the people, out of the multitude must now formalize the relations between people, networks, and state. This calls for legal definitions of the netizen and of the "net-being" as well as their philosophical and technosophical considerations.
For the time being, we will:
  • use the concept of a smart agreement protocol (SAP) between the machines of moral, artificial, or physical persons agreeing to exchange open access information;
  • hope that a juritech discipline emerges that will write its RFC.
  • abundantly use moral persons as a fiduciary interface of single physical persons.

The internet "of the future"

 

The "internet of the future" terminology belongs to the early 2010s when most thought the internet was a non-biased indefinite growth architecture, whose technological emergence would continue to result from IETF engineering. This was the terminology adopted for the 2010 Great Ark's summit. INTLNET inclines to consider the network future as the "intersem", for a semiotic internet indifferent to the material or mental origin of the processed thinking and mainly used for decentralized cooperation and the "net-beings" generation and existence.


Mother tongues

 
The first main set of issues that emerged from the experience of the World Summit on the Information Society belongs to the semiotic domain. This was probably because a communication system where one cannot understand one another was observed as of popular low interest.
  • Tunis (2005/11) and Paris (2006/2). As part of the activities carried out on the occasion of the International Mother Language Day, various international organizations and other institutions [1] met on February 22-23, 2006 in Paris, at the UNESCO headquarters, to formally create and present the Global Network for Linguistic Diversity: MAAYA.
  • Geneva (2006/5) ITU and UNESCO Global Symposium on Promoting the Multilingual Internet [2].
  • UN: 2008 International Year of Languages [3]
  • IETF: two main issues were covered where INTLNET was particularly active in a precautionary role to unambiguously delineate the separation between what belongs to human cultures and technological indexing and communication support:
  • langtags: This is the matter of BCP 47. The registry of the geo-linguistic cultural expressions. This is a fundamental matter in data gathering. It is known as the polynym topic or "variants": what is strict semantic synonym label when indexing data, in such a way that data collection from different origins (countries: ISO 3106) and languages (ISO 639) can be merged and valuably processed.
  • internationalized domain names (IDNs): the domain name system was designed in English ASCII. Each BCP 47 community needs to use domain names in its native scripting (list: ISO 15924), i.e. its character set (ISO 10646, maintained by UNICODE) within its own info linguistic context ("locale" files: the Unicode CLDR now provides the key building blocks for software to support the world's languages, with the largest and most extensive standard repository of locale data available.


SX

 
UX is the user experience of new technologies. SX is the societal experience of the entire numeridigital multitude by the human multitude. This experience must be made available to all, along adequate perspectives: governments, cities, research, people, civil society, education, corporations, etc.
This is where the "participative sciences and research shop" concept fits in.
  • In January 2010, the project convener helped Gerard Peliks organize "the thirty years after": the "forum of the Great Ark - of the Internet" [4] where he gathered the other "78ters" (Louis Pouzin, Vinton Cerf, Bob Kahn, Robert Tréhin) at the Paris Telecom Museum, with LIVE streaming at several universities across France.
  • An appointment was then considered to check our forecasts at a "forty years after" event ("in a sunnier place" as we grew older) [5].
  • At the end of 2012, French and British senior INTLNET experts considered how they could contribute to the diktyologic and interdisciplinary area of the "common of sapience" [6]: the result was the exploratory CNRLib [7] for contributors-actors and an ongoing analysis on what they identified as the "digital quid pro quo" [8] and the think-thank "LERDA" [9] which came up with the ALFA [10] architectonic model.
  • This led to the creation of the association Montpel.net for a participative action-reflection aimed at the appropriation of NICT by the persons and as fellow citizens. The general idea was that to understand and discuss machine supported new agoric human relations, we first had to practice with them being together, a machine in hand.

The SX lesson


The four layers "Internet moratorium" (as it was sometimes evaluated) lasted 30 years. It ended with the switch to the "permissionless innovation" materialized by the "IANA Transition", on October 1, 2016: the end of the protectorate that the United States Government (USG) exercised so far over the Internet through its control on ICANN.
This was made under the auspices of the January 2013 RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for Standards" by IEEE, IAB, IETF, ISOC and W3C [1].
---
  1. This RFC, quotes a common understanding signed in August 2012, in preparation to the renewal of the World Telecom Treaty (December) where the US position was defeated and prepared that plan B and (or fearing) the "Snowdenia". It positively introduces the concept of "global communities" (cf. infra). However, the promoter of this project appealed it twice to the IESG due to its incompleteness regarding a process for global intercompatibility precaution, due to a lack of normative global consensus process, demonstrated by the IETF preparation of the IANA transition. Its lack was experienced at the IETF working group on the preparation of the IANA transition, even though our WG-chair was Vint Cerf (founder of the Internet and Google, VP, networks).


Participative Science and Research

 
On March 20, 2017, sharing some of their societal and practical concerns, was signed - at the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, and Research - the Charter of Science and Participatory Research in France, to accompany, support, and promote collaboration between actors in scientific research and civil society.
In June 2017, the MSH Montpellier held the first conference "Science and Participatory Research" at the initiative of ALLISS. It gave rise to:
  • a comparative analysis between participatory research and technical governance of the internet by the promoter (not finalized);
  • An impressive internship report by Antoine Malivel and its annexes, which should be the subject of an annotated study.
Mid-2018, exchanges at the best level with the university, the attempt to launch an "automooc" on Erlang/Elixir (learn by building our own MOOC together?), a day of the IAE Montpellier on "do the NTIC uberize higher education?" have confirmed the analysis of Montpel.Net:
  • personal registrations in Doctoral School would solve a certain number of the practical and economic problems that the civil contribution to the participative research meets,
  • priority attention should be given to four topics:
  • mathetic considerations (the notion of augmented learning);
  • capaxism (personal management of individual empowerment abilities, adaptation to social adaptation, and feedback from others: capitalizing life on oneself);
  • interdisciplinarity: everything is interdisciplinary as shown in particular the necessary architectonic correlation between Technology and Law. (Nomology);
  • and sapiensics in the sense of the common of the knowledge space shared by and for the multitude, in an academic context which is compartmentalized by its disciplines, which has not yet taken the measure of the participative fact and hesitates on the "without border" multitude, without having the means to study it. While generalizing its interligence seems to lead to an opening of the causal closure.


NumeRev

 
NumeRev is a Montpellier MSH project that aims to explore and analyze the combined effects of the digital revolution and disciplinary decompartmentalization on scientific research.
For this, it includes 3 aspects:
  • A magazine incubator and a digital publishing system.
  • A portal and an interdisciplinary knowledge management system.
  • An observatory of scientific information-communication practices and the co-construction of knowledge.
As part of a thesis of research-action, the in-here discussed taxonomy belongs to the NuméRev field. This project adds the point of view, set of preoccupations, and needs of civil society.


Participative thesis approach

 
This has led MontpelNet to engage in light financing and technical assistance to a project:
  • of action-research thesis on "fellow citizen empowerment within the augmented multitude",
  • based on the architecture of an ambitious open diktyology (network of dynamic ontologies) project for the common of sapience, in phase with the project Numerev of the MSH of Montpellier,
  • for a hands-on "de facto" participatory action-research experience.
The entry into doctoral school was delayed at the last moment by administrative delays added to those of the search for a Thesis Director, for a subject going beyond the theories of information and communication accepted for seventy years.
The motive for the doctoral school approach was to unite, at a personal level at least, the public and civil approaches spirits and capacities. This first still uncompleted attempt has taught that the need was wider and that a "boutique des sciences" was needed in addition. This is due:
  • to the diversity of topics and needs for information if it was addressed in a participative manner where every and each participant can be considered as an equal source of advice and data in their respective areas of expertise and experience.
  • to the need of perferentiation standards to be worked out as part of the interdisciplinary contexture identification;
  • standardization set, perferents bundles and services online hosting, a magazine incubator, and a digital publishing system in the academic context to enlarge the audience of the debate and stabilize its economy.


Extensions of interest


The additional year of preparation thus allocated this way led to taking into account new aspects such as:
  • technological architecture facing the increasing opportunities and reflections arising from the ID (interdisciplinarity) and the publication of the scientific experiment of Olivier Auber's "Generator poïétique" ("Anoptikon"), which adds ontic and kenotic concepts to the understanding of the networks.
  • academics: (in the context of future relations, at the local, national, and international level, particularly in the framework of the Internet Governance Forum [at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris this year]).
  • concerns in the methodology of thinking, writing, interdisciplinarity, and environment doxa adjustments that become necessary;
  • the organization of the associated civilian entrepreneurial smart-up project, its legal and economic aspects becoming, as time flows, increasingly more integrated with the personal, academic, economic, societal, and national (see above) capax usages and tools.
  • In April 2019, the University of Perpignan announces the holding of INSCI early December 2019. The theme is enticing:
  • to make a bridge between the academic and industrial communities in North and South countries in order to converge to a noble idea of the role that internet should play.
Note: the current IAB debate is about the noble idea that "The Internet is for End Users" (Mark Nottingham Draft)
  • It will deal with the development of practices, platforms and communication channels to promote the integration of Southern European, Mediterranean, African, and Latin America countries in a peaceful world, promotion of discussion and political freedom, migrant problems, health, and citizen participation.
As a Southern Europe, Mediterranean subregion, Languedoc-Roussillon is interested in the people integration through citizen contributions
  • Parallel sessions of the conference are devoted to self-organized workshops, for instance for promoting a project and gathering impressions and comments.
What could be of interest about the glocal reaction to a glocal participative science and research shop project.


Participative Science and Research Shop

 

With the above taxonomy being considered, now the question is: how can we participatively draw, learn, advise, and build from all of this?


General Assumption

 
The evaluation made by the members of this project is that civil society, when considered outside of its e-government hierarchical institutional, and e-administration support is technologically a "multitude".
  • It can then be either a consumer crowd, network-engineered by merchants, etc.
  • or, at least in some areas, it can self-govern its members' e-empowerment, within the limits permitted by national and international regulations and its limited financing.
  • It can also, sometimes, organize this governance together with public institutions: this is what is qualified as "participative." [1]


Sciences Shops

 
In such a case, it has a need to be informed and advised. By experts and researchers: this is the concept of science shops. The "Living Knowledge" networks [2] supports the concept of Science Shops that seek to:
  • provide civil society with knowledge and skills through research and education;
  • produce and maintain a per discipline compendium of reference on the current sapience common;
  • provide their services on an affordable basis;
  • promote and support public access to, and public influence on, science and technology;
  • create equitable and supportive partnerships with civil society organizations;
  • enhance understanding among policymakers and education and research institutions of the research and education needs of civil society;
  • enhance the transferable skills and knowledge of students, community representatives, and researchers.

Participative Sciences and Research Shops

 
When we consider the "anthropobotic" augmented multitude we live in and we extend every day, we observe that we all are confronted with two multitudes:
  • the multitude of people that are augmented by the "plus machina",
  • the multitude of the disciplines that contribute to this augmentation and to our empowerment to simplexify and master it.
In the case of this last multitude, it appears that all of us are experts in one of the collaborating disciplines including the "pragmatic survival" discipline. The need is, therefore, to review and extend the Science Shop concept to make it participative and research included.
  • we need a common pool: in a participative university/civil society context, this has a name: a participative Science and Research Shop.
  • we need the common method, language, documentation, information channels, etc. of a discipline : imposed by our networked society context, we must learn, develop, and research diktyology per se as a vehicle between all the others we need to understand each one we want to know.


the diktyologic field


In the particular circumstances of the diktyologic field, such experts and researchers must be themselves assisted by other people of any public, civil, or private venue under the sun, bringing their own data, knowledge, and sapience shares on an equally networked (peer to peer accessible) basis. Moreover, since we are no longer in a hierarchical dialectic perspective but rather in an agoric polylectic perspective, this assistance will also take into account the multitudes as a researched reality, and the Common of the multitude's shared sapience and experience as a knowledge source.
The above description seems to be the principle of :
  • what are interdisciplinarity (as everyone cooperating) and inter-disciplinarity (as each being dependent on the inputs of all the others). This is therefore not a new section, but the missing root "section" of the common augmented learning and comprehending: the common of sapience.
  • what we call a "participative science and research shop" where:
  • everyone can exercise conflexion (multisource reflexion, the "French Great Debate" adopted that scheme),
  • on the sum of individual experience and common data,
  • to adjust its own decisions
  • and then concert compatibility.
The role of the shop is to gather knowledge about history and experience, documentation about existing solutions, specify and validate new tools for its own mission and its patrons (from, through and for them). To do that, they need: simplex governance, a smart and secure U2U space of exchanges, and an open diktyologia (a serviced and structured system of reference) of maintained perferents. In so doing they will field explore interligence and experiment diktyology as a "protointerscience".


The interdisciplinary (ID) field

 

The particularity of a shop on interdisciplinarity is that everything may turn into an unfathomable complex circonflexion on everything. The target will, therefore, be to simplexify (KISS, keep it simple stupid) the interdisciplinary polylogue process through an inter agora strategy of behaving and thinking.
This is what advises RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for [networking] Standards".
This RFC advises localizing the exchanges to common rules applied by global communities on their own agora (market). This certainly favor those in responsibility of influence on their global community.
  • The government when the multitude is the augmented multitude of people.
  • Science when the multitude is interdisciplinarity.


Plan

 
In information science, an ontology encompasses a representation, formal naming and definition of the categories, properties, and relations between the concepts, data, and entities that substantiate one domain. A dynamic ontology is an ontology under permanent work. A diktyologia is a network of dynamic ontologies whose relations (interligence) seeks to be constantly better understood by a participative research team, under the permanent animation of a convener.
It is proposed that the project of LR science and research shop on diktyology of the ID, be engaged as a civil society social and solidarity economy project of open diktyologia, named Diktya, engineered as a doctoral research-action supported by MontpelNet, calling upon the participative support of the LR universitary expertise and reciprocating with the resulting solutions, cooperation, and data.
The network model of the Diktya project is poly-neb-centric, a neb being the dedicated glocal network of an autonomous entity. A glocal network is a network may span globally but is locally supervised: this is usually achieved through is a hybrid virtual/local network of hosted intellipages (Rich Web Pages) whose host groups and access class are managed through its own DNS and SAS (semantic addressing system).
The diktyologia architectural strategy consists in networking and supporting autonomous discipline dedicated "bliks":
  • a blik is a MontpelNet supported project tool, to be understood as a bundle of same format perferents (i.e. media-wiki like intellipages), each bundle being serviced by an ontology, a taxonomy, a thesaurus, a mailing information, a mail discussion list, a blockchain, and other tools that will be progressively aggregated and further on ported under a multi-actor architecture).
  • managed by a blik's convener chairing a coauthor/WG discussion mailing list and barcamps.
  • the project targets the creation of a general diktyologia through the simple two level networking of intellipages gathered by blik services.
  • every discipline is considered as an RFC 6852 global community in a general network system known, deployed, and documented as « The Numericum »
  • a report, on the project status, will be presented in December 2019, at INSCI 2019 in Perpignan: what we will have done (or not, and then why) together.
  • a digital publication assisted by NumeRev will be considered to publish the acquired experience from a universitary, from civil society, and from a participative experience point of view.
  • participative barcamps will be organized and published on some topics of the taxonomy.
Such a working model is similar to other normalization and/or governance contexts except that it is node-centric, which means that for each discipline the convener is the published nebmaster.


Deployment Strategy

 
Networking calls for personal empathy with the pursued project; and propagates by auto-catalysis capillarity. The strategy will therefore be:
  • to gather an initial kernel of "shopkeepers", with the convener acting as a temporary "shopmaster" following a "plex" [1];
  • to work on the credibility of the Numericum capacities and its documentation;
  • to start with some disciplines, first the diktyologic discipline itself (interligence, architecture, protocols, simulations, actor agents, etc.), and then probably in formal sciences and juritech, which will participate in the blik, the neb model, and their legal and economic nature.
  • to raise a few debates on the blik capacities, the human sciences of the multitude, technosophy and ethitechnics, the smart city, and the citizen capacitation as well as on mathetics. Then, we will discuss the taxonomy of this note with interested parties and MontpelNet members who wish to appropriate their diginumeric resources along their own capax conceptions.

  1. a plex is a complex plan, understood as a pragmatic networking of catenated actions identified and revised throughout its execution.


Remaining issues

 
At the present stage various topics of concern for the civil society are still to be included, such as :
  • bots, in a world that exchanges in using "des mots et des bots": words, and web-URLs.
  • the cobotic environment as well as cobocracy.
  • corporate law to address bot driven corporations, co-ownership of an autonomous bot, etc. and multitudinariats.
  • design of a corporate bot (corpobot). Design of a "viceroy" bot and its legal status.
  • legal status of the "gemneme", i.e. initial mneme brought to a new autonomy, and epigemnemique: its own evolution.
  • semantic addressing plans.
  • blik taxonomy.
  • the content and copyrights of ALFA (Architectonie Libre/Free Architectony).
  • relations between philosophy, ecology, technosophy and theology.
  • concept of the 3rd age "contribution".
  • concept of the 5th age (posthumous actions).
  • etc.


Such is the first round of the taxonomy of the questions posed by civil society to the members and partners of the LRtech participative science and research shop.
