KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE

Data has infiltrated every aspect of human life. Those who understand how to organize, process, secure and deploy data possess the most valuable and sought after asset in the world. Until recently this privilege required an incredible amount of hardware and financial resources; however due to the recent advancements of computer hardware, software infrastructure and cloud computing, globally-scaled data management systems can be created using Open Source Tools with an astonishingly short amount of time and surprisingly low costs.

In 1964 Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors packed within an integrated circuit would double every year. This claim of exponential growth has been termed Moore's Law, and has since been proven to be quite accurate. Over the last 57 years, computing technology, has grown to be one of the largest industries, collecting some of the most brilliant minds and consuming a large portion of the worlds investment capital. Every problem that exists, in regards to managing digital assets, has already been carefully worked on for well over a decade; therefore the real power is not solving problems by reinventing the wheel but learning how to leverage pre-existing solutions.

The only thing keeping everyone from accessing the power of Google is knowledge, and even more importantly a framework that allows us to instantly apply that knowledge. What we will present is simply the inevitable result of Moore's Law and your access to both the framework and the knowledge needed to operate in the new digital world. DAD(clarification, let's avoid abbreviations) creates the foundation for you to apply the myriad of abstract global technology in a concrete and meaningful way, giving you the knowledge and ability to manage, process, secure, and deploy Data Assets.

Accountability, Accounting, Accounts

Community Accountability

A long long time ago, in a land we still occupy, all humans lived in tribes. Any significant event that took place was typically a community affair with many witnesses present. These witnesses would be able to each give their perspective of the event and together they could form the the collective truth. Everybody was encouraged to tell the truth otherwise their story would differ from everyone else and their ability to be a witness would be questioned.

The reliability of tribal accountability was based on the number of community witnesses present at each event, the more witnesses the more reliable the truth was. The accountability of information is what declares its accuracy, if any event or information can be accounted for by a large number of witnesses then it has high accountability and therefore high amount of truth.

Accounting Records

As human tribal society evolved so did the number of events and things people wanted to witness. The ability for tribal witnessing to hold an accurate accounting of information became increasing more difficult. In order to increase the accountability of information, humans began to create records. The first known written records are simply just accounting sheets that recorded events, agreements, and transactions.

Each time a significant event occurred eg: birth, death, marriage, or an exchange of property, the event would be recorded in a record book. If people wanted to recall information they no longer had to reach out to the community to verify the event they could simply seek the truth from the written records. These books became a more reliable way for information to hold accuracy in time space.

Naming of Accounts

As record books grew in popularity so did the desire to control and monitor the accuracy of information. Truth was no longer decided by decentralized and distributed community witnessing but instead became centralized and controlled by a central institutional authority. Governments in tandem with their religious counterparts were created to control the record books. Those who controlled the books controlled the ability to declare what was Truth. If it wasn't written it wasn't verifiable and thus could be dismissed.

In order for information written in the record books to accurately refer to specific people in a consistent and verifiable manner, each person was given a written name that was recorded in a name registry. Names were the first known accounts and where recorded and managed by institutions using a name registry which is simply the chart of accounts. These named accounts were used to manage the information in the record books to improve the accounting process and streamline accurate accountability.

The Accounting Receipt

In order for institutions to scale their ability to account for more events they need to create means of allowing people to know with complete trust that their records had been accounted for in the appropriate books. The solution was the creation of record receipts. Now when someone was born their birth would not only be accounted for in the record books but they would also receive a receipt of that accounting, these receipts became known as birth certificates. The system of institutional accounting and the issuing of official receipts has created the system we live in today. Visa departments issuing passports, Drivers License Departments issuing Drivers Licenses, and Universities issuing diplomas.

These receipts work as an isolated extension of the record books. In order for these receipts to be valid they must also be unforgeable, this was accomplished by creating unique identifiable official seals and signatures. These unforgeable receipts allowed people to go to institutions who did not have personally have the accounting of a transaction but still trust that the transaction had been previously accounted for. The most obvious example of this is Banks issuing receipts known as money for the official accounting of an equal deposit of Assets.

Double-Entry Bookkeeping

These isolated extensions of the institutionally backed receipts created a mutually agreed upon value that allowed to form markets and initiate commerce. These receipts simply represented a proof of some recorded value, and therefore that allowed that value to pass to spread across time space. People would be happy exchanging real goods for a receipt of value that they know would be accepted by someone in the future for the same value they received it for. Most importantly these receipts held value because they had been properly accounted for and carried unforgeable signatures.

The increase volume of transactions and their growing complexity required merchants to form a reliable systems of managing the record books. Many system came and went but in 1494 Luca Pacioli, who was a friend of Leonardo da Vinci, published a synthesis of colloquial mathematical knowledge that included the accounting system used by many Merchants during the Italian renaissance, known as the double-entry accounting system or more simply Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Data symmetry determines truth

The core principle demonstrated throughout the entirety of Luca Pacioli's famous treatise was the need to to always seek symmetry and return to balance. Mathematical symmetry held the key to understanding truth. In order for books to be true they would always need to prove symmetry between accounts.

Global Community Accountability

For the last 500 years after Luca Pacioli not much has changed in bookkeeping and accounting practices, until 2008 when a person(s) named Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin and the very first Blockchain database. As the necessary evolution of institutional bookkeeping, blockchain creates a publicly accessible and distributed witnessing system that works by blocks of timestamped information coming together to form a symmetrically balanced chain of information linked to authenticated accounts.

Blockchain replaced institutional witnessing with a network of permission-less peer to peer transactions backed by transparent protocol & system structure. The blockchain becomes the new book of accounts with every transaction being publicly recorded and then verified by transaction receipts. For the first time in Human history humans are able to own and manage their accounts, and create peer to peer transactions that get automatically recorded on a publicly visible accounting record book. Information and transaction accountability can be managed on scale without an institutional control structure.

Namespace Management

According to NetSkope Cloud Report, August 2019, the average company is using around 1,295 cloud services. Companies are using cloud services to gain access to tools that will hopefully improve their efficiency and ability to profit from Data; however, most companies do not have proper Namespace Management (NsM) so therefore the current methods of managing Data Assets, are complex, costly, and most importantly causing data to be a liability and not an asset.

Consistency in Namespace Management determines the integrity of data assets. 

It is essential that you learn the theoretical basis for Namespace Management (NsM) and its' central role in Data Processing, Data Security, and Data Deployment, by doing so, you will understand what a large majority of organizations and developers do not, and possess the ability to scale and automate your Data Assets.

NsM begins with understanding the three expressions of Data (Data as Pages, Data as Files, and Data as Services). In order for these three kinds of Data to interact they must be organized under a single Namespace in order to interact in a meaningful way.

Pages MUST be considered before Services. 

page is the event horizon services are the ability to navigate that horizon

Pages are a type of Namespace that encompass Files and Services. Combined in a tree like structure known as Key Value Pairs all data is stored within the Page as either files or services. Services can be understood as 'stateful files' and are designed to perform a specific function. Files represent the opposite being the equivalent of 'stateless services' and are essential in storing deployable information. The page is the means of displaying and interacting with files and services. When you have Files and Services stored within the same Page then your Services are able to work together in creating interactions and relationships between your files. When this entanglement of Data takes place then your entire Page will operate as a unified service and can be compiled and stored and as single file.

There is no Assets without Accounts.

An account declares where Data belongs and who owns it. Those who control the accounts control the Assets inside them. To establish ownership of your Data Assets you must organize all your pages (including their services and files) into a single domain, then establish ownership of that domain by creating an Account.

When you received this domain it was vacant and ownerless, after you created your Account you established ownership of everything inside this domain. Your Account has both a Private and a Public Key. The Public Key is a visible representation of your account, while the Private Key is hidden and known only to the official holder of the Account.

All files that exist inside your digital domain will carry your Account's fingerprint. This fingerprint will always stay with a document and remain as part of its personal history. Fingerprints are an essential part of validating file information and linking your files to your account, even after they have been sent to anothers domain.

Your Data Assets must be reliable in order to be deployable.

In order for you to bring things into, or out of, your digital domain you must provide your signature to verify the transaction. This is important to ensure that nothing can interact with your domain without your permission, otherwise it wouldn't truly be your domain.

Every transaction that takes place between domains is witnessed by other parties to ensure that the transaction is accurate and safe. This witness will first observe that the fingerprint of the item being transacted is the same on the sending and receiving end. This is to ensure that the item has not been altered. Once the item has been properly verified the witness will always observe that both the sender and the receiver have personally verified the transaction with their signatures. Every transaction will have two signatures and one fingerprint, and witnesses to verify that everything is correct and as it should be.

Data Security

Everything people do online is recorded and compiled into digital avatars. These avatars are created from patterns generated human behavior, those who have access to these digital avatars, have the ability to subtly influence people lives in unnoticeable ways, it's as simple as altering the files we are viewing to control our digital experience. Google and Facebook both offer software for free because the real asset isn't google drive or communicating with friends, but us. Selling our digital identities has created the most lucrative market in the history of the world.

As the physical and technological world become increasingly more entangled, so do our digital and physical identities. Our ability to connect with people, make money, and share information are being controlled not for our well-being but to increase the profits of large corporations. As the internet becomes increasingly more centralized so does the power to influence the perceptions and behavior of the entire world. This kind of power has never been realized in the history of mankind and as of now this power is being used to simply make stock holders more money.

Data In Spacetime

The core principle of Data accountability is symmetry. When a transaction is being witnessed, whats truly being observed is that the transaction is finding symmetry, that things are 100% identical on both ends. This means of transaction verification is able ascend past space and time, allowing what was before to still be true now.

So in order to process data in spacetime the data needs to be organized into a single namespace, or digital domain. Under this namespace data will be organized with Key Value Pairs and divided each into their own namespaces. While blockchain may seem like a new technology, its core feature is found in Mediawiki's software. Since their software is founded on proper accounting principles and data is organized correctly the ability to verify data is inherently present in the script.

Why Mediawiki

such as MediaWiki, and Markup Languages (HTML, YAML),

When most people hear the word Wiki, Wikipedia is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Wikipedia runs on a wiki software called Mediawiki, which is the longest lasting and most developed of the Wiki engines. What makes a wiki unique, and specifically Mediawiki, is how it manages namespace; firstly, it organizes data into Hypertext and Key Value Pairs; secondly, it allows for collaborative editing directly from a browser, using wikitext or a simplified markup language called PHP.

What makes Mediawiki a better choice than say

allows for scalable data integrity because it was designed to manage a large server farm which receives several million hits per day. Its' ease of use and thoughtful configuration make Mediawiki a great software for creating a published knowledge base of information, but even more importantly an ideal software for managing data on scale.

The homepage of your digital domain is created using Mediawiki.

How We Organize Data

• PAGES
  • The medium for viewing and interacting with files and services
• FILES
  • Are stateless services
• SERVICES
  • Are Stateful Files

The Meta Vision

What you are being offered is an entire preprogrammed Data Center/Organizational Management tool condensed into one single file. Since this file contains all the content of the organization its very easy to backup, restore, and share enabling you the ability to decentralize your entire system and operation. As of now, the internet is centralized into the hands of only a few corporations, this information bottleneck prevents small business and individuals from ever being able to truly own their Data. When you don't own your data, you cannot benefit from it as an Asset. You now have that option, and will learn exactly how it works and operates. In the next section we will dive into Data Processing which is your ability to turn your raw Data into valuable resources that work for you.
