Introduction
For past few decades human kind has been in possession of really important technique for automatic solving of wide range of problems. It is really a mistery why this technique didn't araise yet in real applications, although certain circles of academics are aware of its presence. Let me announce what is this technique able to do: - traffic optimization (semaphores, green waves)
- electronic processors optimization (given input, given output, find the fastest way to process input, find combination of transistors)
- automatic building of electronic schemes (the same thing as processors, but on larger scale)
- good old math automatic solver with searching for new formulas and rules that hold in math
- chemistry molecule polymers constructions (given the final formula, find what sequence of reactions need to be combined to get wanted result)
- optimization of machine engineering (optimal moment arm, gears, statics and dynamics, i.e. get elements and forces for machine to score a point in basketball game)
And the list goes on as we are all the time searching for the right combination of elements that form some set, an imaginary wanted state that we want the Universe to shape up. Universal question that would describe a query in this technique would be: How to transform system A from starting state combination S1 to wanted state combination S2, using only provided methods M-s for wich we can predict how they impact the system?
The truth is that like we can transform a math expression from some beginning shape towards solvation shape, in similar way, but on generalized level, we can imagine transforming a system of interconnected states to wanted final shape, namely provided goal.
Application
Here is one scientific applyment I'm particulary interested into: to manualy feed scientific entries into coordinated set of databases. This databases would represent our knowledge about the Universe, from theoretic entries to experimental data. This would be a really cool place nested in the Internet, where people would hang out either for browsing all kind of knowledge, either for getting solutions to important problems that arise in their scientific and social researchings. Our users would on the one side be valuable students that could on the other side graduately become researchers, people whose attention is priceless to us, because of their great potential to ask the right questions about the Universe.
With this kind of distributed Internet database supported by scientists and users, maybe one day we would be able to puzzle up our knowledge about the Universe, including answer to a question: what is Life? I believe that answer to this question would open completely new perspectives for humanity.
