Namespace

Namespace is a kind of resource, that can be considered as a symbolic space for representing any concepts, including the relational structures of spacetime. It is closely related to the field of software engineering, knowledge management, and number theory.

Namespace management

To manage namespaces in a methodical fashion, one can use namespace management techniques or tools, developed in the database or container orchestration industries. The reason that namespace must leverage database technologies and container orchestration, is due to the fact that there are simply too many data points or names to be processed, therefore, some scalable instrumentation must be employed.

Time as a Resource in Namespace

A powerful insight to manage namespace is to be aware of the fact that temporal sequence is naturally asymmetrical, meaning that ordered sequences each can represent a different information item. This is utilized extensively in the management of data content, especially in the area of blockchain, and in the design and implementation of stateful systems, such as distributed databases.

Example in Lambda Calculus

To see why sequential structures can be used to encode any information content, the best example would be using to encode Boolean logic. Using the sequential relations of input elements, one can denote TRUE and FALSE with just two primitive functions. For more detail, see the tutorial[1].
