The World vs Words In a world where AI reigns supreme, there is a question looming among the tech elite: As we marvel at the prowess of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and others, it’s time to investigate a bit further and seek answers. Are we on the cusp of true intelligence, or are we merely toying with sophisticated text generators? Beyond the hype and fascination, lies a catalyst for change and remarkable innovation, fundamentally redefining what AI means: . Active Inference AI What sets these two approaches apart, and why might Active Inference hold the keys to AI’s future? Join me on a voyage through the complexity of these groundbreaking technologies, as we eliminate confusion, and reveal a path that leads to more than just enlightened conversation — it leads to a new era of AI built on the very foundations of human intelligence. Two Roads Diverged in a Wood The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has stirred endless excitement and curiosity about the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence. These systems have the remarkable ability to generate human-like text and engage in diverse conversations, fueling expectations for AI’s future. However, as impressive as LLMs are, they have inherent limitations when compared to this new revolutionary approach to artificial intelligence known as Active Inference. Let’s dive into the fundamental differences between LLMs and Active Inference and why the latter is positioned to emerge as a vanguard of the future of AI. Limitations of LLMs: Content Creation vs. Real-World Operations LLMs are powered by deep learning on massive datasets, allowing them to recognize linguistic patterns attuned to various subject matter and generate outputs that seem coherent. However, this statistical pattern matching does not equate to true intelligence or understanding of the world. LLMs fall short in several critical aspects: 1. : LLMs lack the ability to actively perceive or reason about real-world situations as they unfold. Their operation solely depends on the data they were trained on, devoid of real-time sensory input. Contextual Awareness 2. : Understanding the decision-making processes of LLMs is an elusive challenge. Their outputs are essentially probabilistic guesses, even if fluently phrased. Explainability 3. They hallucinate or fabricate responses outside their training distribution, unconstrained by real world knowledge, blurring the line between fact and fabrication. Grounding in Reality: 4. — LLMs cannot act on their environment or test hypotheses through exploring the world. They are passive systems. Ability to Take Action These deficiencies make LLMs poorly suited for most real-world applications, especially those requiring nuanced situational understanding or the ability to operate autonomously in dynamic physical environments. Their strengths lie more in generating content, ideas, and prose based on recognizing patterns in immense datasets. In fact, a recent paper by Google provides that transformers (GPT, etc) are unable to generalize beyond their training data. .” evidence “We find strong evidence that the model can perform model selection among pre-trained function classes during in-context learning at a little extra statistical cost, but limited evidence that the models’ in-context learning behavior is capable of generalizing beyond their pre-training data The Paradigm Shift — Active Inference: The Future of AI , based on the Active Inference Free Energy Principle developed by , world reknowned neuroscientist and Chief Scientist at VERSES AI, represents a paradigm shift in AI. Dr. Karl J. Friston Active Inference AI is modeled after how the human brain and biological systems work. Through this method, an Intelligent Agent is able to continuously sense its environment, take action in real-time based on that sensory input, and update its internal model of the world — just like humans do. This sets it apart from other AI approaches that are static and cannot adapt and evolve in real-time. Active Inference has the capability to start off at a basic level and rapidly evolve in intelligence over time, similar to how a human child develops. This positions it to continuously improve and adapt as it accumulates more experiences and knowledge, making it far more advanced than current AI. Active Inference also possesses two unique capabilities. Human laws and guidelines can be programmed into these systems, and they will abide by them in real-time, and these autonomous systems are also capable of introspection. They can report on their own processing and decisions, making them completely auditable. This gives them an unparalleled advantage in being able to grow and evolve in collaboration and cooperation alongside humans. In contrast to deep learning, : active inference is founded on principles of embodied cognition and Bayesian inference, delivering several key attributes Active Inference as Embodied AI: Active inference AI mimics human abilities to sense, perceive, and interact with the world in real time. It can see, hear, touch, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to human sensory processing. Sensory Integration and Real-Time Interaction: This AI continuously updates its world model, akin to how humans learn and adapt. This evolving understanding allows it to engage in complex decision-making and problem-solving tasks. World Modeling and Decision Making: : Active inference AI’s capabilities extend to managing large-scale systems like climate, biodiversity, and energy flows. It is envisioned to support and protect every individual and living entity on the planet, much like a global caretaker. Planetary Management and Support Unique Advantages and Benefits: Unlike traditional AI, Active Inference AI evolves continually. It’s self-evolving, self-organizing, and self-optimizing, aligning with the concept of autopoiesis — a system capable of reproducing and maintaining itself. Adaptability and Evolution: The AI’s capability extends far beyond current AI applications. It can address real-time updating and adaptable scenarios, making it ideal for complex tasks like running supply chains or smart cities. Comprehensive Application Spectrum: The technology is seen as bringing the planet to life, integrating the digital and physical worlds, and transforming the planet into a ‘digital organism’. This holistic approach signifies a major leap in AI capabilities. Holistic Integration: This manifests in a new type of AI that is capable of: · Active inference agents continually update their beliefs by interacting with the world in real-time, integrating new observations into their internal model of how the world works. Perpetual Learning: · By gathering multisensory input, agents build a dynamic understanding of unfolding situations, enabling complex reasoning and planning. Contextual Awareness: · Agents learn faster and perform better when they are embodied in simulated or physical forms, allowing them to test hypotheses through action. Embodiment: · : An agent’s beliefs, desires, and decision-making processes are transparent and grounded in its observations and prior knowledge. Explainability · Active Inference agents can seamlessly transfer knowledge across diverse contexts and challenges, similar to human adaptability. Flexible Cognition: These attributes make Active Inference a groundbreaking approach to AI, but what takes it beyond the horizon is the integration with the universal network of the Spatial Web. : The Framework for Distributed and Multi-scale Intelligence The Spatial Web Active Inference’s potential is amplified when it converges with the Spatial Web Protocol, HSTP (Hyperspace Transaction Protocol) and HSML (Hyperspace Modeling Language). This convergence unleashes a distributed form of Active Inference and fosters collective intelligence among multitudes of Intelligent Agents. : The Backbone of Distributed Active Inference HSTP At the core of this integration is HSTP, the Hyperspace Transaction Protocol, serving as the digital nervous system. It enables seamless communication and data exchange among various technologies, sensors, machines, and Intelligent Agents, unifying them on a common network, creating a dynamic, real-time ecosystem. HSTP captures real-time data from multiple sources, forging a comprehensive contextual understanding of any given situation, much like the human nervous system. : The Lingua Franca of the Spatial Web HSML HSML, the Hyperspace Modeling Language, plays a pivotal role in this orchestration. It’s not just a language; it’s the bridge between diverse technologies and agents in the Spatial Web. By programming context into the digital twin spaces of every element in the world, HSML creates a unifying layer that resonates across the entire network. HSML acts as the translator in a multilingual conversation, ensuring every technology, sensor, machine, and Intelligent Agent can comprehend and communicate effectively. The World Model: A Living, Breathing Entity This ingenious amalgamation of Active Inference with HSTP and HSML gives birth to a comprehensive “world model,” providing an evolutionary pathway to AGI and beyond. This world model is not a static representation; it’s a living, breathing entity that continuously adapts and evolves in real time. It’s the digital twin of the real world, reflecting the ever-changing dynamics, interactions, and complexities of the environment it models. With HSTP and HSML, the world model acquires a depth of understanding that transcends the capabilities of traditional AI models. It gains the ability to perceive, reason, and adapt to real-time events with unparalleled accuracy. It becomes the foundation for all perception, decision-making, and action within the AI system. In essence, smart cities will function like a digital organism, paralleling the human body’s brain and nervous system. They utilize a dynamic, holographic world model, constantly updated by real-time sensor data, analogous to sensory neurons. This model represents various aspects of the city, climate, or other environments and is linked to the Internet of Things (IoT), which includes drones, robots, and automated systems. These elements act like motor neurons, executing changes in the physical world. The sensory network then updates the world model based on these changes, creating a feedback loop. This process depicts the evolution of intelligence, where the system continuously refines its understanding and interaction with the world, reducing surprises through accurate inferences from the current world model. The Free Energy Principle provides the mathematical framework for this evolutionary process. While Natural Selection explains the evolution of physical bodies in animals, the evolution of world models can be considered a branch of Memetics — similar to Genetics — but not biologically based. The Free Energy Principle provides us with the Mathematics of Evolution of Intelligence in these complex, interconnected systems. AI that is Capable of Governance The explainability of Active Inference AI (the ability of self-introspection and self-reporting) coupled with the use of HSML, where human laws can be made programmable, enabling AI to understand and comply with them in real-time, offers a solution where the development and implementation of trustworthy and governable AI systems prevail. In July 2023, VERSES AI, along with Dentons Law Firm, and the Spatial Web Foundation, published a groundbreaking industry report titled, , establishing frameworks for ethical, robust, and lawful AI. These frameworks refer to successful proofs of concept using Active Inference AI and the Spatial Web Protocol — HSTP and HSML — demonstrating remarkable success in programming AI to comply with human laws, integrating various AIs into a larger, governable network. This report afirms the importance of regulation standards and proposes categorizing AI into different levels of intelligence and capabilities for appropriate governance methods. The overarching theme is to use these technologies to govern the autonomous systems themselves to ensure responsible and effective governance of AI for safety, privacy, and ethical use. The Future of Global AI Governance and through these technological breakthroughs, VERSES has developed a way to do that. , The act of correcting a machine occurs within the code Real-World Impact: Active Inference’s Applications The distinct capabilities of Active Inference find applications across a myriad of domains where situational awareness, adaptability, and autonomy are paramount: · Enabling control of autonomous robots and vehicles operating in dynamic real-world environments, from factories to homes and automobiles to drones. Robotics: · Optimizing delivery drones and coordinating swarms for safe and efficient navigation. Logistics: · Personalized care through smart beds, wearables, and assistive robots for patient monitoring. Healthcare: · Managing critical systems, including hospitals, airports, supply chains, traffic flows, public services, and infrastructure, through distributed networks. Smart Cities: · Detecting fraud, risk, and anomalies in transactions in real-time. Finance: · Streamlining processes such as materials development, drug discovery, and particle physics. Scientific Discovery: In contrast to current LLMs, which remain narrow, passive, and bound by static training data, Active Inference represents a developmental approach to AI, characterized by embodiment, context, and dynamism. While LLMs excel in content creation, Active Inference holds the next evolution of AI that can grapple with the complexities of the real world. As the development of this technology matures, it promises to revolutionize AI integration across domains, from robotics to finance and scientific discovery. A New Era of AI In the realm of AI, where understanding, perception, and adaptability are paramount, the convergence of Active Inference with the Spatial Web Protocol — HSTP and HSML, is the catalyst of transformation. It ushers in a new era where AI transcends boundaries and limitations, where it possesses the contextual world model essential for true intelligence and the cultivation and expansion of universal knowledge. Words vs. the World Large Language Models have captured the imagination of the public regarding AI’s potential, but they face significant limitations compared to the emerging implementation of Active Inference. Active Inference’s continuous interaction and learning model lead to more flexible, context-aware intelligence. Active Inference agents excel at understanding nuanced situations, adapting to new environments, and operating autonomously in the real world. While LLMs are ideal for content generation, Active Inference paves the way for AI to navigate the complexities of real-world challenges. As this new paradigm advances, it will drive innovation and automation across an array of fields, transforming the landscape of AI applications. VERSES AI’s Position as a Global AI Leader VERSES is fundamentally redefining what AI means, moving towards a model that’s more akin to natural intelligence. They are the only company pursuing Active Inference AI based on the pioneering work of Professor Karl Friston — VERSES’ Chief Scientist. This gives VERSES a huge competitive edge, as Active Inference allows for true embodied AI that can power general intelligence across countless applications. No other approach comes close to the flexibility and advancement of Active Inference. By being self-evolving, self-organizing and autopoietic (self-generating), Active Inference AI will grow rapidly in capabilities and use cases. , and enable new applications not possible today. This has the potential to bring about major breakthroughs in AI and allow VERSES to establish itself as a leader. Over time, it is expected to surpass the abilities of current AI like LLMs The company’s strategy mirrors significant technological shifts in history, such as the transition from Blackberry to iPhone. The development and adoption of Active Inference AI represents a paradigm shift in AI, capable of unlocking new possibilities for AI to positively impact humanity, with applications ranging from digital assistants to smart city infrastructure optimization and beyond. This positions VERSES at the forefront of the next era of AI advancement. This new framework, spearheaded by VERSES AI, opens the door to a future where AI seamlessly integrates into our lives and society, guiding us through the complexities of the real world with finesse and precision, able to handle mission critical operations, with the potential to assist in large scale planetary and humanitarian crises. The union of Active Inference and the Spatial Web isn’t just about AI evolution; it’s about revolutionizing the way we interact with technology and the world around us. It’s a paradigm shift that promises to transform AI from a tool into a true companion in our complex, ever-changing world.

Unlocking the Future of AI: Active Inference vs. LLMs

Philochristus: Memoirs of a Disciple of the Lord by Edwin Abbott Abbott is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . Of the New Law here Of the New Law On the morrow, about the second hour, we began to go up the mountain which Jesus had appointed. But having strayed from the path, we knocked at the door of a house which was near the foot of the mountain, and besought the goodman of the house that he would guide us. There opened the door a man of churlish appearance; but he would neither come out, nor so much as speak with us. This delayed us for a time, but we soon found the path, and the way became steep. The sun shone, but not with too fervent a heat, and the north wind blew gently from Hermon, whose top we saw clearly toward the north, clad in snow. On the west was the Mount Carmel, shining with a brightness as of purple; and further off the Great Sea, resembling a blue plain, whereon appeared many sails, almost too small for sight by reason of the distance. We climbed upward through groves of terebinth and oak. As often as we turned round to recover breath, the houses and fields grew smaller, till, at the last, when we drew nigh unto the top, the whole plain of Esdraelon seemed but as a small ground-plat; and large towns appeared as little hamlets, and all the works of man became very small in our eyes, as though we were leaving earth and approaching heaven. Then said Baruch, “Is not this a second Sinai? For verily Jesus of Nazareth is about to give us a new law.” But Eliezer the son of Arak, the principal Scribe of Capernaum (for he at this time followed Jesus and was now with us) rebuked him, saying, “Even though Jesus of Nazareth were the greatest of prophets, yet were he not equal to Moses; for it is said, Sinai is to be preferred even to the uprooter of mountains!” And another said, “Behold, the Word of God, when it went forth from Sinai from the mouth of the Holy One (blessed be His Name), was like sparks, and lightnings, and flames of fire; a torch of flame was on his right hand, and a torch of flame on his left hand: it flew and hovered in the air of the heavens, and returned and graved itself upon the tables of the covenant which were given into the hands of Moses. How then is it possible that the like wonders should be wrought on this mountain?” Then said Nathanael to Simon Peter that it might perchance please the Lord not always to speak by the whirlwind or by the fire, but, as in the days of Elias, by the still small voice. And to this Peter agreed, but others did not agree: for though they inclined not to Eliezer the son of Arak, yet it was because they thought that Jesus would of a surety soon work some sign in heaven to prove that he was the Redeemer. But Judas of Kerioth affirmed that Jesus would not, at this present time, lay down laws for the Kingdom, but only ordinances for a season, to instruct the host in the journey towards Jerusalem; but until Jerusalem should be ours, lasting laws would not be made. While we were disputing among ourselves concerning the saying of Judas, Peter cried “Peace:” for, said he, “yonder is the Prophet:” and looking upward, we saw Jesus on a rock stretching out his hands in prayer. When he had made an end of praying, Peter approached him and besought him a second time to teach us to pray; and Jesus gave us that well-known prayer which is used in all the churches. Afterwards he beckoned to us to follow him, and he came down and stood in the bed of a torrent, which was dry by reason of the drought. While we were following him, I heard the companion of Eliezer murmuring because there were no words in the prayer concerning the Redemption of Israel; “moreover,” said he, “albeit the prayer asketh for bread, yet is there no mention of wine, nor oil, nor even of raiment. But how can a man sit and search the Law and the Traditions, and know not whence he is to drink as well as eat, and whence to be clad and covered?” To this I would have made reply; but Peter again cried to us to hold our peace, for Jesus was beginning to speak. When he opened his lips, every one was silent for expectation; but, as he proceeded, the silence was a silence as of them that are astonished and disappointed. For he began with setting forth in his discourse a character and image of a citizen of the New Kingdom; and lo, it was not the image of a conqueror, but of one conquered. Also he drew as it were a model of the palace of the Great King, and of the princes and nobles which stand about His throne; and behold, when we compared the model with that which we had imagined in our hearts, and with that which we had read of in histories, the model of Jesus was in all things contrary to the model in our hearts. For in old times men had done reverence unto the valiant, the proud, the strong, the rich and the wise; but Jesus said that the chief places about the throne of God should be given to the hungry and thirsty, and poor; to them that were innocent and simple; to them that made not war, but peace; yea, even to them which resisted not evil, but rewarded evil with good. Upon all these, as being the nobles and princes of the New Kingdom, Jesus pronounced a blessing; to wit, that all things should work together for good to them, so that they should have all that they needed, according to the words of the prophet, “Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed.” Even so did Jesus ordain that they which hungered should be satisfied, and that the makers of peace should conquer and inherit the earth. Next, he described the statutes and judgments of the New Kingdom; and, behold, instead of an easier yoke, he seemed to be placing upon us a yoke even heavier than the yoke of the ancient Law, too heavy to be borne. For the old Law forbade us to commit murder; but the new Law forbade us even to hate our enemies. Again, the old Law forbade us to commit adultery; but the new Law forbade us even to entertain a lustful thought in our hearts. In a word, the old Law laid down certain ordinances, which if a man obeyed, he should live therein; but the new Law laid down nothing fixed nor certain for us, so that we might say “I have done this or that, and therefore I have fulfilled the Law of Christ.” For the Law of Moses touched the life of man, as it were, in certain points; as for example, in sacrifices, and feasts, and purifications, and Sabbaths, and in the obeying of the Ten Commandments: but the Law of Christ covered the whole of the state of man, the thoughts as well as the deeds; even as the encompassing air, which pierceth into every corner and cavern of the earth, wheresoever human life is. In fine, whereas the Law of Moses commanded us what we should do, the Law of Christ commanded what we should be. For this cause Jesus set himself against all bookishness, and against all worship of Traditions, and even of the precepts of the Scriptures; for he taught that precepts, howsoever they may shape the outward action, shape not the inner man. Again, as concerning the laws, and the judgments, and the rewards, and the punishments, in the New Kingdom, he spake as if they were not laws of man’s device, but rather Laws according to the nature of things, like unto the ordinances of the rain and the sunshine, the harvest and the seed-time. For he said that righteousness was not any such thing as could be attained by a price, nor by the doing of deeds; but that it consisted in a seeing of that which may be seen of God. He also spake of a certain eye of the soul, which, if it were clear, the man would be righteous; but if it were darkened, the man would be unrighteous. Also he spake of a certain law of retributions, which decreeth that whoso judgeth shall be judged, whoso forgiveth shall be forgiven, whoso giveth shall receive: adding thereunto this most strange doctrine, that if we would go forth into the world, giving and ready to give, then, from all sides, the world would give to us again; yea, the angels of God, and the elements of the world (which are His ministers) and even the children of men, should make us marvel by reason of their gratitude, giving us back good measure pressed down and running over. Now there is a saying in the Traditions that, “Whensoever a poor man standeth at thy door, the Holy One (blessed is He) standeth at his right hand. If thou givest him alms, know that thou shalt receive a reward from Him who standeth at his right hand.” Jesus therefore added to this doctrine, teaching that God standeth at the right hand not of the poor only, but of every one that is in need of aught, that is to say, of every one of the children of men: wherefore whatsoever is given to men, is given to God, and from God cometh back multiplied to the giver. Howbeit, we were neither to give alms, nor to do aught else, for hope of reward; but only out of love. Concerning citizenship in the Kingdom and how men should become citizens therein, he spake little to us, as being already citizens therein: save only this, that whoso would come, must come unto him; and through him, as through a door, they should pass into the Kingdom. And behold, the Kingdom was no other than a family, wherein God was at once Father and King, and all men were as children of the Father in Heaven. For the foundation of all was, that the heart and not the hands shaped the goodness and badness of all deeds, and made men to become citizens of the Kingdom: wherefore the heart and not the hands must be purified; nor could any be in truth citizens of the Kingdom except they had the thought of the Kingdom always in their hearts, so that their hopes and treasures were all stored up, not in the banks of money-changers, but in the Kingdom of Heaven. Then he spake of the exceeding joys of the citizens of the Kingdom of God, and how they are free from all troubles and all disquietudes. But none, he said, could serve God and Mammon at one time; neither was it possible to serve God aright and yet to be distracted and torn asunder by cares concerning meat or raiment. Hereat the companion of Eliezer murmured again, saying that Jesus had before spoken blasphemously in joining the forgiving of sins by God with the forgiving of sins by men, and now he had spoken as a madman, in forbidding us to be careful about food and raiment; “Can a man sit,” said he, “and search the Law, and not know whence he is to eat, and drink, and to be clad?” Now whether Jesus perceived his murmuring I know not: but he pointed, first upwards to the birds (for even at that instant there was a flight of pelicans above us) and then downward to the flowers, which bestrewed the side of the brook, and he said that our Father in Heaven fed the birds and clothed the flowers; and should He not much more care for us? Then he bade us seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things else should be added unto us. Now concerning this Kingdom of God (or Kingdom of Heaven, for he called it by both names) we understood not much at this time: but my judgment now is that Jesus desired that all the Lord’s people should be as Prophets, not teaching one the other and saying “Know the Lord,” but all knowing the Lord from the least to the greatest. For he perceived that all the tribes of the earth were joined together under one emperor through desire of wealth and ease, and that Israel was joined together through hatred of the Romans and through desire to be rescued from them; but he saw that neither love of ease nor hatred of enemies could bind men together in an enduring Kingdom: but that which bindeth men together is the Spirit of love, which is a Spirit of brotherhood among men and of childhood unto God. For all nations begin with being first families, and then many families together; helping one another by reason of kindred, and not by reason of manhood. Now such a nation as this, and all men of such a nation, Jesus called “born of flesh and blood:” and he said that no nation could leave off to be a tribe and become a nation indeed, except it were born again, not of flesh and blood, but of the Spirit; so as to enter into a certain government of God, which the Greeks called , but Jesus called it the Kingdom of God. Such a Moses had partly established in old times; howbeit the King in the kingdom of Moses was the God of Abraham, but the King in the kingdom of Jesus was the Father of the Son of man. theocratia theocratia But now to return to the words of Jesus. He ended his discourse with warning. First he warned us to beware of the common saying, “Give judgment according to the greater number”; for he said that the path to destruction is broad, and many go thereby. He bade us also try teachers and prophets by their works. Last of all, he spake very earnestly against certain which pretended to obey him but obeyed him not. We were the salt of the earth, he said, but if we lost our savour, how could the world be salted, and to what end could we serve, but to be cast out and trampled under foot? Whoso heard him and obeyed him not, such an one he likened unto a foolish shepherd (and even as he spake, there was nigh, within a bow-shot of us, a sheep-cote that had been cast down by the swollen waters of the brook) which built his house upon the sand, so that it fell: but whoso heard and obeyed, he likened him unto a wise shepherd, which built his house upon a rock so that it fell not. This parable Jesus did not at this time interpret to us, but afterwards he made it clear. For even as the Psalmists of Israel spake often of a certain Rock of Salvation, even so was it afterwards a common saying with Jesus both that each citizen of the New Kingdom must build his house upon a Rock, and that the Kingdom itself must be founded on a Rock, so that the gates of Hades or Destruction should not prevail against it. Howbeit what this Rock might be, we did not as yet understand; for he had not at this time revealed it unto us.

Of the New Law

Among the blockchain and cryptocurrencies world, a lot of projects have seen the light. The most famous being Bitcoin and Ethereum, propelled by a wide media coverage. But one project has not made newspapers headlines yet is trying to achieve a tremendous work. As many blockchains are being built from scratch for lots of different needs all over the world, the Hyperledger Project launched by the Linux Foundation will try to standardize and democratize blockchain within the business world. Instead of letting companies solve their issues on their own, Hyperledger will combine a cross-industry knowledge to allow enterprises to build customized blockchains that would answer specific needs. Let’s have a deeper look on what is Hyperledger. Context In 2015, the Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, The original goal was to develop The Hyperledger Project was born. But what does this purpose really mean? announced the collaboration of industry leaders to advance blockchain technology at an enterprise level. “an open source distributed ledger framework to build robust, industry-specific applications, platforms and hardware systems to support business transactions”. The first members to join the movement were mostly banks, financial services firms or IT companies. But as time went by, more and more corporations joined the project to the point that the member list reaches as of September 26th from very different sectors and horizons. We can find in the list big industry-leader firms as well as start-ups, from logistic to healthcare and from finance to government, all of them having contributed either financially either by providing line of codes and development progress. The 2 biggest contributors are IBM and Intel. As of July 2018, Hyperledger hosts . 270 contributing organizations 10 projects with 3.6 million lines of code and close to 28,000 participants who have come to 110+ meetups around the world “Distributed ledgers are poised to transform a wide range of industries” — Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation, after the launch of the Hyperledger Project As blockchain being a recent innovation and a hard-to-catch concept for non-tech profiles, the need for a cross-industry collaboration rised within the business world. You have to understand that Hyperledger is not a company, not a cryptocurrency and not a blockchain. It is a worldwide collaborative effort to transparently and openly enlighten blockhain potential to solve business issues. Understanding Bitcoin and Ethereum is pretty easy-going because it is practical and has proven true usefulness among developers and users. Understanding Hyperledger is another challenge. Hyperledger logo, https://www.hyperledger.org/ Hyperledger has written a Charter in the beginning of 2016, a kind of white paper, stating the guidelines and what it is trying to achieve. Among the 4 missions announced we can read : Create an enterprise grade, open source distributed ledger framework and code base Promote participation of leading members of the ecosystem Can it be more vague? What you have to remember behind these sentences is that the Linux Foundation, through its Hyperledger Project Thus it is an infrastructure in which you can find ongoing blockchain-related projects. All of them are non-currency projects and industrial applications. And that’s an important point. wants to create an environment in which communities of software developers and companies meet and coordinate to build blockchain frameworks. You won’t have any Hyperledger Coin around because the project doesn’t intend to host its own cryptocurrency like Ethereum for example. “By not pushing a currency, we avoid so many of the political challenges of having to maintain a globally consistent currency” — Brian Behlendorf, Hyperledger Executive Director So, we have a global movement, organized in several projects, initiated by The Linux Foundation, lead by reknown persons from tech, open-source and data world with years of experience and supported by 270 contributing companies and organizations aiming to develop non-currency blockchain-based projects for the business world. Let’s dive into those projects. Hyperledger Projects Let’s start with the 2 projects that are available and production-ready that are Hyperledger Sawtooth and Hyperledger Fabric. is a blockchain mainly developed by Intel that intends to test the functionality of a new consensus mechanism called Proof of Elapsed Time (PoeT) and to allow an enterprise to run distributed ledgers maintained without a central authority. Hyperledger Sawtooth The PoeT is an algorithm that attempts to distribute network mining rights through a fair random system. It aims to eliminate environmental and energy-consumption issues underlying Proof of Work consensus algorithm used by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. . In short, each participating node in the network is required to wait for a randomly chosen time period, and the first one to complete the designated waiting time wins the new block. The process follows a fair lottery system instead of rewarding the most powerful node In their presentation video, Hyperledger illustrates the potential of Sawtooth with the seafood supply chain, where Sawtooth provides an immutable record of provenance and lineage of various goods like fish. Thanks to Internet of Things (physical connected devices) and sensors combined with Sawtooth, it is possible to trace any fish’s journey from ocean to the table. Sawtooth is written in Python and targeted at providing blockchains that could eventually be applied to the Internet of Things and various financial systems. is a project driven under the mentoring of IBM. Surprinsingly, Fabric is the most widely adopted blockchain by the biggest enterprises. Indeed, using the Ethereum platform for companies to build applications on top of it is a constraint because . What Hyperledger Fabric provides is a base to build a specific blockchain for a specific industry and run applications that are related to specific needs. Hyperledger Fabric Ethereum has its own protocol, thus is less flexible It’s not beginner friendly at all but it deserves credit to . Built as a modular framework where applications can easily scale up to any level, Fabric intends to provide basic blockchain services like transparency, decentralization and security. provide design and customization to meet precise requirements Beside Sawtooth and Fabric, other projects are worth to mention. which is a permissionable smart contract machine developed to the specification of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Hyperledger Burrow which is a distributed ledger built for decentralized identities. It provides tools, libraries and reusable components for creating and using independent digital identities. It doesn’t use Proof of Work and uses blockchain-based identity solutions. Hyperledger Indy which is a blockchain framework designed to be simple and easy to incorporate into infrastructure projects that require distributed ledger technology. Hyperledger Iroha Example Let’s put Burrow and Indy in perspective with a use case presented in the Hyperledger’s white paper. Usually, banks gather personally identifiable information (PII) on every customer and prospect to assess a risk if a loan is asked. These information are sensitive and juicy target for hackers. Moreover, loan applicants often need to share these information with several banks to increase their chance to obtain a loan but also increase the chance for these information to be abused. Thanks to a secured blockchain, applicants can disclose the assessed information confidently and banks can conform with regulation and rely on this distributed ledger that acts as a source of truth. On top of that, we can imagine the Hyperledger Burrow that would turn the loan application into a smart contract, attaching identities to the loan. With Hyperledger Indy, applicants can share only the information the banks need to make a decision without placing any personal data in the equation. Perspectives Although most Hyperledger’s projects are still in the development phase, some companies have started using Sawtooth or Fabric as enabler for empowering their product or service. Everledger for instance is a company that tracks high-value goods on their blockchain. . This reduces jewelry fraud (estimated at millions of dollars) by replacing the paper-based tracking method with a digitized one. This latter was designed through Hyperledger Fabric allowing clients, authorities, lawyers, accounts and every intermediary of the diamond’s supply chain to transparently track the recording process of diamonds Everledger logo, https://www.everledger.io/ And Everledger is not the only one who saw the potential of Hyperledger’s projects. Spearheaded by Intel and IBM, their massive clients portfolio is starting to pay attention to the opportunities offered by private blockchains. Fortunately, as Sawtooth and Fabric are up and running, companies’ enquirements about business use cases can be answered. Anyhow, Hyerperledger’s projects are on the verge to answer an enormous market where needs for collaboration have never been bigger. With this in mind, Hyperledger announced on October 1st a partnership with its direct competitor, (EEA). EEA is the global standards organization driving the adoption of Enterprise Ethereum, a consortium of companies from start-ups to industry-leader to answer business needs through a private version of the Ethereum platform. Both organizations are now each other’s Associate Member and co-contribute to their development. the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance This significant partnership proves that because distributed ledgers are being built in various industries, an open source and collaborative development strategy supporting multiple players across the globe is required in order to realize the promise of blockchain. The willingness of cross-industry mass adoption in the coming years can not be achieve by one company alone. that would deliver billions in economic value Conclusion CEO of IBM Ginni Rometty declared that in terms of making them really cheap to record and easy to verify. A concern extremely true for worldwide companies. what internet was to information, blockchain is to transactions In that perspective and to make the technology more mature, an important acknowledgment has been made by he Linux Foundation: Bitcoin and Ethereum are hardly scalable due to a consensus that is needed to be found simultaneously by peers within the network Bitcoin and Ethereum do not support private transactions Based on that, Hyperledger is trying to find new ways to achieve consensus no matter the size of the network and to build private blockchains to match business needs, leaving Proof of Work alongside. What you need to remember from this article is that Besides Sawtooth and Fabric which are the most advanced and well-known projects, Hyperledger has taken eight other initiatives under its wing, ranging from an implementation of the Ethereum smart contract engine (Burrow) to a distributed digital identity system (Indy) to an interoperability platform for doing transactions across ledgers (Quilt). Hyperledger will help secure and customize supply verifications, logistics, distribution and payment verifications between entities. Finally, whether you are an entrepreneur, a project manager, a consultant, an advisor or an executive, . Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies blockchain are not necessarily the keys to unlock industrial issues encountered in the business world. You might consider using Hyperledger Fabric or Sawtooth depending on what you’re aiming to achieve. be careful of which blockchain could answer your needs Just keep in mind what Brian Behlendorf rightfully said about blockchain: “it will shake up how business transactions are done, particularly in the finance and healthcare sectors”.

Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc — Volume 1 by Mark Twain, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE here TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man’s character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours. Judged by the standards of one century, the noblest characters of an earlier one lose much of their luster; judged by the standards of to-day, there is probably no illustrious man of four or five centuries ago whose character could meet the test at all points. But the character of Joan of Arc is unique. It can be measured by the standards of all times without misgiving or apprehension as to the result. Judged by any of them, it is still flawless, it is still ideally perfect; it still occupies the loftiest place possible to human attainment, a loftier one than has been reached by any other mere mortal. When we reflect that her century was the brutalest, the wickedest, the rottenest in history since the darkest ages, we are lost in wonder at the miracle of such a product from such a soil. The contrast between her and her century is the contrast between day and night. She was truthful when lying was the common speech of men; she was honest when honesty was become a lost virtue; she was a keeper of promises when the keeping of a promise was expected of no one; she gave her great mind to great thoughts and great purposes when other great minds wasted themselves upon pretty fancies or upon poor ambitions; she was modest, and fine, and delicate when to be loud and coarse might be said to be universal; she was full of pity when a merciless cruelty was the rule; she was steadfast when stability was unknown, and honorable in an age which had forgotten what honor was; she was a rock of convictions in a time when men believed in nothing and scoffed at all things; she was unfailingly true to an age that was false to the core; she maintained her personal dignity unimpaired in an age of fawnings and servilities; she was of a dauntless courage when hope and courage had perished in the hearts of her nation; she was spotlessly pure in mind and body when society in the highest places was foul in both—she was all these things in an age when crime was the common business of lords and princes, and when the highest personages in Christendom were able to astonish even that infamous era and make it stand aghast at the spectacle of their atrocious lives black with unimaginable treacheries, butcheries, and beastialities. She was perhaps the only entirely unselfish person whose name has a place in profane history. No vestige or suggestion of self-seeking can be found in any word or deed of hers. When she had rescued her King from his vagabondage, and set his crown upon his head, she was offered rewards and honors, but she refused them all, and would take nothing. All she would take for herself—if the King would grant it—was leave to go back to her village home, and tend her sheep again, and feel her mother’s arms about her, and be her housemaid and helper. The selfishness of this unspoiled general of victorious armies, companion of princes, and idol of an applauding and grateful nation, reached but that far and no farther. The work wrought by Joan of Arc may fairly be regarded as ranking any recorded in history, when one considers the conditions under which it was undertaken, the obstacles in the way, and the means at her disposal. Caesar carried conquests far, but he did it with the trained and confident veterans of Rome, and was a trained soldier himself; and Napoleon swept away the disciplined armies of Europe, but he also was a trained soldier, and he began his work with patriot battalions inflamed and inspired by the miracle-working new breath of Liberty breathed upon them by the Revolution—eager young apprentices to the splendid trade of war, not old and broken men-at-arms, despairing survivors of an age-long accumulation of monotonous defeats; but Joan of Arc, a mere child in years, ignorant, unlettered, a poor village girl unknown and without influence, found a great nation lying in chains, helpless and hopeless under an alien domination, its treasury bankrupt, its soldiers disheartened and dispersed, all spirit torpid, all courage dead in the hearts of the people through long years of foreign and domestic outrage and oppression, their King cowed, resigned to its fate, and preparing to fly the country; and she laid her hand upon this nation, this corpse, and it rose and followed her. She led it from victory to victory, she turned back the tide of the Hundred Years’ War, she fatally crippled the English power, and died with the earned title of DELIVERER OF FRANCE, which she bears to this day. And for all reward, the French King, whom she had crowned, stood supine and indifferent, while French priests took the noble child, the most innocent, the most lovely, the most adorable the ages have produced, and burned her alive at the stake.

Renowned Ex-SEGA Game Developer Yu Suzuki Joins OASYX NFT Project

SundayMonday, a renowned pixel artist, has been in the game for a while now. He's designed pixel art and sold them as NFTs on the blockchain. In an interview with SundayMonday, I discuss his journey into the world of NFTs and what he's learned along the way. SundayMonday, how did you first get into the world of NFTs? Dawood: I got into the world of NFTs through my love of pixel art. I've been designing pixel art for years and I thought it would be cool to sell them as NFTs on the blockchain. SundayMonday: What made you decide to start selling your art as NFTs? Dawood: I've been designing pixel art for a long time and I've always been interested in the potential of blockchain technology. When I learned about NFTs, it was a natural fit for me to start selling my art as NFTs. SundayMonday: So you were already familiar with blockchain technology before you started selling your pixel art as NFTs? Dawood: I'm not a technical expert, but I have a fair understanding of how blockchain and NFTs work. I'm always learning more about technology so that I can better utilize it in my art. SundayMonday: What was the learning curve like for you? Was it difficult to wrap your head around the technology? Dawood: **SundayMonday:**It wasn't too difficult, but there was definitely a learning curve. It's been a great experience so far. So you're saying that even if someone knows nothing about blockchain or NFTs, they can still learn how to use them? Dawood: Absolutely. If you're interested in learning about blockchain or NFTs, I would say just do some research and give it a try. SundayMonday: What has been your favorite part of this journey so far? Dawood: My favorite part has definitely been the people I've met along the way. I've met so many great people in the community, and it's been really awesome to connect with them. I would say that's my favorite part of this journey so far. SundayMonday: What are your plans for the future? Do you have any other projects in the works? Dawood: I do have some other projects in the works, but I'm not ready to talk about them just yet. I will say that I'm really excited about what the future holds for NFTs and blockchain technology. I think it's going to be a really exciting time for both of those industries, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. SundayMonday: Do you have any advice for people who are thinking about getting into the world of NFTs? Dawood: My advice would be to just do some research and give it a try. I'm glad I did because it's been a great experience so far. So if you're interested in learning about blockchain or NFTs, I would say just do some research and give it a try. SundayMonday: SundayMonday, thank you so much for taking the time to chat. It's been a pleasure. Dawood: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure. SundayMonday: NFTs are still a relatively new technology, and there is definitely a learning curve associated with them. However, as SundayMonday has demonstrated, it is possible to get started in the world of NFTs even if you don't have any prior knowledge of blockchain or NFTs. Just do some research, give it a try, and see where it takes you! Who knows, you might end up becoming the next big thing in the world of NFTs. 🙂 As a tribute to SundayMonday, we would like you to check out his new collection which can be minted on the official website ( ).
