Also note the "coincidence" of this
The Demonstration CD selector and player application, Alice a 3D application
Looking Glass was first developed by Hideya Kawahara, a Sun programmer who wrote it in his spare time on a small Linux laptop it seeks to exploit three-dimensional objects within some specific interaction constraints.One of its most notable features is the creation of reversible windows. It was developed as LG3D and its operating system is the Cross-platform. Do you see all the parallels?
Project Croquet real time, interactive, 3D map of this very same world. Change something in the world, the map changes. Move something in the map (as one would a chess piece), the object in the world represented by it moves the same way.
( here references to chess and croquet more Alice in Wonderland)
Croquet Avatar with Wireframe Portal, eToy, & Mirror
TeaTime is designed to work with Croquet is a scalable real-time multi-user architecture that is the basis for Croquet's object-object communication and synchronization. Interesting to note the floating torroidal and the broken aquaduct, what part is missing from the aqaduct it is the top of the arch, the keystone. The connection point the part that which distributes the weight. The part that gives one balance or equilibrium.
(More Alice in Wonderland , time mirror, and tea time)
(Interesting how out of all the things to pick how to make your own fish with a cross on it.Waters of illusion to put us in Sleep Mode)
( This brings in the topic of ICE)
In 1994 Smith built ICE, a working prototype of a two user collaborative system that was a predecessor of the core of what Croquet is today
Implemented in Squeak Smalltalk, Croquet features a network architecture that supports communication.Version 1.1 of the environment, originally released on October 1997 under the Squeak License, has been released in May 2006 under the free and open source Apple Public Source License.
(Now we have Squeak or Small talk another Alice referral, the source of this knowledge Apple)
"Give 1 Get 1" (G1G1)
ts current focus is on the development, construction and deployment of the XO-1 laptop.
The organization is chaired by Nicholas Negroponte. Other principals of the company include Charles Kane, President and Chief Operating Officer. OLPC is a 501(c)(3) organization .( Interesting names as well ) these computers are to run on the "Sugar" operating system. A recent New Scientist article critiqued Bitfrost's P_THEFT security option, which allows each laptop to be configured to transmit an individualized, non-repudiable digital signature to a central server at most once each day to remain functioning.[70] (You may not know where your children are but they will, and what they are watching, what they type in, and they will be given "free programming"
This is as good for kids as the "free lunch programs" that feed the kids garbage at school, with little nutritional value.
Time is now to think outside of the box.
