Simili is the movement to create the Internet Library for Humanity, Terra Cognos.
The Blind Guy, Paul Wolborsky, is founder, original architect & developer for the infrastructure & essential technologies.
The Internet is the greatest treasure Humankind ever owned, but its knowledge & data are all dissolute, incoherent, siloed, raw nuggets buried in mountains of content. Google built a trillion dollar industry around keyword search & ChatGPT/Gemini are a great step forward, but those are proprietary technologies & the model resembles some guy who goes into the back room to get a thing you ask for. We need an open framework that makes knowledge & wisdom available to everybody yet still generate wealth for those who build it.
To create this great Library, Simili will create an array of technologies that will generate indexes, tables of contents, categories, hierarchical contexts, tags, data sets and browsing tools to help all humans gain knowledge & wisdom from the web.
We start with a WordPress plugin, Simili Trees, which implements the first core concepts. Then, we create the Simili SearchSpace that will initially serve WordPress websites that install the plugin. Then, we will build more client-side applications for other websites, big & small.
The Terra Cognos will consiste of one or more colonies with a hice & swarm based on blockchain and digital currency.
The Terra Cognos will embrace Data Science, Content Mining, RDF knowlege and AI.
The SearchSpace will be fertile grounds for a vast for-profit and non-profit ecosystem, with wealth, livelihoods and gig work available to anyone in the world with a Smart-phone.
And generations from now, it will accompany our species as it expands into the Galaxy.
And it all starts with trees made from tags.
