Intro
Right now data has already infiltrated every aspect of human life. Those who understand how to organize, process, secure and deploy Data have access to 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 code 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 sense 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 to digital Assets, has already been carefully worked on for well over a decade; therefore the real power is not solving problems but learning how to leverage pre-existing solutions.
The only thing keeping you from accessing the power of Google is knowledge, and even more importantly a framework that allows you to instantly apply this knowledge. The Digital Aqua Domain (DAD) 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 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.
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.
Accounts, Accounting, Accountability
Tribal Witnessing
A long long time ago, in a land we still occupy, all humans lived in tribes. Any significant event that would take 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 would be 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 witnessing was based on the number of witnesses, the more witnesses the more reliable the truth becomes.
Institutional Witnessing
As human tribal society evolved so did the number of events and things people wanted to witness. The first known written records are simply just accounting sheets, recording events, agreements, and transactions, typically recorded by religious institutions who were formed in order to replace community witnessing. Each time a significant event occurred eg: birth, death, marriage, or exchange of property, the event would be recorded in a record book.
After institutions, Truth was no longer decided by decentralized and distributed community witnessing but was then centralized and controlled by a central institutional authority. Those who controlled the record 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 those events written in the books to accurately refer to specific people names needed to be created for each person and recorded in a registry. Names became the first known accounts and where used to manage the information in the record books which could be also be referred to as the original data assets.
Scaling Institutional Witnessing
In order for institutions to scale their ability to witness more events they needed to create means of allowing people to know with complete trust that their records had been recorded in the appropriate books. The solution was the creation of record receipts. Now when someone was born their birth would not only be recorded in the books but they would also receive a receipt confirming the recording, these receipts became known as birth certificates. Similar events take place still today; for example, when someone graduates from university they receive a receipt known as a diploma that the record has been witnessed and recorded by the institution known as universities.
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. The system of institutional record keeping and issuing of official receipts has created the system we live in today. Visa departments issuing passports, Drivers License Departments issuing Drivers Licenses, and Most importantly Banks issuing receipts Known as money for the deposit of Assets.
Accounting and Double Entry Bookkeeping
After institutions began witnessing and offering receipts, markets were formed and commerce was created because certain records could be transferrable, such as the ownership of property, and others where depreciable, or perishable such as the ownership of food. In order to ensure the reliability, or the accuracy, of their books they needed bookkeepers, and bookkeepers needed a reliable system.
In 1494 Luca Pacioli, who was a friend of Leonardo da Vinci, published a synthesis of colloquial mathematical knowledge. This included the accounting system used by 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 that famous treatise was the need to to always seek symmetry and return to balance. His descriptions of proper Bookkeeping practices has indeed made a huge impact on the world, but these descriptions were used to demonstrated his core thesis, That mathematical symmetry held the key to understanding truth. In order for books to be true they would always need to prove symmetry between accounts.
A return to Community Based Witnessing
What eventually created what we know as Blockchain began with the principles written in 1494 by Luca Pacioli. As the necessary evolution of institutional bookkeeping blockchain creates a publicly accessible and distributed witnessing system that works by blocks of timestamped information forming a symmetrically balanced chain of information linked to authenticated accounts.
Blockchain replaces 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.
Decentralized Accounting and Community Witnessing
Blockchain has provided reliable and authentic
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.
accountability..
This process of witnessing is based on the principles of accounting. Just like double entry bookkeeping, every transaction must result in the balancing of accounts, creating data symmetry.
Symmetry seeking data verification is the essence of Blockchain. Each block in the chain is a time stamp of actions submitted by accounts. These actions must always find symmetry with the last recorded action in order to become a new block in the chain. Sounds very similar to accounting? That's because it is, blockchain is just a modern realization of Luca Pacioli's original mathematical theory of symmetry.
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY
In 1478 Luca Pacioli created a formula that still forms the basis of modern accounting
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.
