Cantor Operating System (Part 1)

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Named after Georg Cantor CAN.TOR.OS∞ brings computation from the distant future into today. The transfinite worldview and universe of tomorrow into the finite worldview and universe of today. Cantor OS drives transfinite computing and saves transfinite memory dumps. More on this in subsequent parts as I have to come back to finite memory dumps… One cautious note though: transfinite doesn’t mean absolute infinity, or God-like computation, the latter is the realm of Memory Religion. 

(∞) TOR is a new transfinite operation in addition to finite OR, AND or XOR

Transfinite Memory Dumps (Part 1)

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

These dumps are larger than any finite memory dump and contain all of them inside (see the definition of a transfinite number). Think about them as a variant of the Library of Babel where all possible memory snapshots of your Windows or Linux PC are stored including Googol dumps. If you have some code then all possible code defects are there too. An interesting question then arises. If this dump is collected what kind of patterns we can see there? Are these patterns extrapolated infinite versions of finite patterns or there come new ones specific to transfinite computations? More on this in the next parts.
