Future: year 2213

Combine augmented reality, nano robot swarms and mind-device communication.  So the idea is you first imagine a structure.  This imagined structure is displayed (could be on glasses contact lens etc), augmenting reality.  Using the image you can then improve and change the design.  Could use your hands to manipulate it or just use your thoughts which ever is easier.  The nano robots can then form the imagined structure.  You could then store useful structures for later use and the system could learn to predict and suggest new structures based on your preferences and behavior.

You all knew I am a bit crazy ;).

New Theme

I really am liking this new theme.  The text is easier to read and I like being able to choose the background.  The background used to be my wallpaper for my computer.  It seemed to go with the tech feel.

Book idea

I was thinking it would be fun to read about a world where our concept of prison is the natural state of the denizens.  Then for punishment (rather than jail) they are given full freedom.  Would be interesting to read an authors rendition of such a state.  Sounds like it would be a classic.  Going to have to find it.

I’m reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.  So far I like it.

Co-Opetition!

I finally found the name that describes what I wanted to know if agents could do back in 2010!!!!  My original question was:

I was wondering: if multiple cooperative agent teams are competing, could they learn when it would be in their best interest to cooperate with a competitor.

Now I know I was really wondering if learning agents could learn coopetition!!!

 

I always love to find the right terminology.  It makes life so much easier when doing research.
