fabric

Medyn. Computational fabric needs access to the moving average of multiple high rate streams of highly variable data. I have spent a little time developing an algorithm to meet this need, and outline it here in the hope that it may be useful to someone. more...

First results. Late in 2008 I began working to test a clutch of ideas arising from my studies around intelligence. By early 2009, the ideas had evolved into a core design which has survived an arduous implementation. Now, 5½ years later, I am beginning to see some evidence that computational fabric is viable. more...

Why fabric? Computers are able to follow a detailed set of instructions with stupendous speed, precision and reliability; far better than any human. A tiny spider, with a minuscule brain, is able to thrive in a complex, hazardous natural environment, from the moment it hatches; far better than any computer. Computational fabric sits somewhere in between. more...

What is fabric? Computational fabric is quite different to traditional computer hardware and software. Fabric is grown into an "organic" structure, rather than built into an engineered structure; it is more like ivy than a building. more...
