Sorry it's not that pretty-looking.
I should warn you in advance that this paper just barely introduces the
concept of fact-based computing, and is probably not worth much to you guys.
It was intended to be a white paper about our WIDE technology.
It's what I was working on when all the realizations started coming
together. This was written before I found E.F. Codd's treatment of facts as
n-dimensional objects (which surprised the hell out of me and started me
thinking), and before Dave reminded me of the existence of Minsky's theory
of agents.
I still can't believe I had forgotten about Minsky's work. I think it's
because I was using MicroStrategy's Agent(TM) tool (which has the precursor
for the full-fledged Saylor-Codd machine in it) for so long as an instructor
that I'd forgotten other definitions of the word. :)
