That feeling when you realize that Galileo’s vision was perfectly reasonable for his time but applied today it is just a mental prison, a cage. That feeling when you see the cage. That feeling when you step out of the cage. That feeling when you finally understand what the
I tried the Climb, a Virtual Reality game for the Oculus headset. The experience is amazing. I felt like I was high above the ground. I felt dizziness even if I knew that I was in a simulation. The rational conscious part of me knew that I was on the
I am working on a project with some very sharp minded guys. They are helping me write the specifications. The project is a new way of thinking about the Internet, in a bio-inspired way. It rationalizes and reorganizes how data, programs and world objects are logically layered. It will eventually
I`m in the process of moving my blog to a new hosting provider and a new blogging platform, Ghost. In the next few weeks I'll be copying all the post to the new platform.

Following up on the previous post, here are some of the problems that should be solved by a new generation of Internet services: * how do I keep information integrated as opposed to integrating different services developed with different objectives? * how do I become aware of the relevant dynamically evolving information
The previous post was about the historical perspective of the traditional approach to modelling. Here the objective is to devise a new approach to develop Internet services and to avoid the fragmentation of contexts that forces us to choose different silos to express our thoughts. The goal of science, mathematics
Humans constantly try to devise appropriate ways to describe their experiences. Many great thinkers have had their say: Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world. Albert Einstein. In our description of nature the purpose is not
November in Capri. Past glories tanning in the transparent water. One tends to forget how blessed southern Europe is, climate wise. In England by this time of the day, some retirees are having their second or third beer at the pub. Not all is great in southern Europe though, as
