    Ai3inc is a private corporation formed in 1999 with an office at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Baird Research and Technology Park. It has assembled a portfolio of technologies and related intellectual property including the AutoGnome™ and recently developed a commercial——ready business venture to exploit and capitalize on over 40 years of development. This first rudimentary application is www.truethinker.com, a revolutionary new subscriber—based IntelliSite™ which will automate and manage the creation and discovery, retrieval and organization of internet—based information.

    Ai3inc is a private, open participation, intellectual property development and holding company focused on commercializing its Synthetic Intelligence/Synthetic MIND technologies (a breakthrough approach to "artificial intelligence").

    The VISION of the Founding Partners is of a Global Transformation of Human Culture/Society, a CoCreative Cultural/Societal (R)Evolution, by facilitating the metamorphosis of the old Age of Information into a new Age of CoCreative Wisdom as realizations of the metamorphogenesis of the Age of System into the Age of Relation.

    The MISSION then is to position Ai3inc as the exemplary organization globally recognized for setting the de facto technological standard for accelerating the growth in the Wisdom of Humankind, first by enhancing and improving individual human performance via continued research, development and deployment of its Synthetic Intelligence/Synthetic MIND software.

    The STRATEGIC PLAN begins with a focus on creating SYNMIND which is being effected in two distinct R&D paths – the first being that of the Peircian-inspired/Pendegraft-specified/Pragmatic System of the AutoGnome; the second is to explicitly formalize a Semiotic Relational System (called the GnosTek) implementing multiboundary mathematics with the algebra of probable inference, inquiry and intuition, both as an approach to SYNMIND and as a formally rigorous re-specification of the AutoGnome. The commercial deployment will continue the rollout of www.truethinker.com and its extension as follows:

    TrueThinkeràTwikiTàThoughtWeaveràAutoCat/SupervisedCat/MaxEntàCoGnomeàCogWeb

    Beginning from this augmentation of Human Mind via the growing intelligence of the AutoGnome, the PLAN begins to expand to include the introduction of each of the other SevenSyns between now and 2012-2013.

    The 7SYNS: Strategic Viewpoints of Possible Relational Futures

    Extend the FOUNDATIONAL frontiers of SEMIOTIC RELATIONAL SYSTEMS COSMICHAOLOGY through Laureate-quality Research on--

    and

    Extend the ENGINEERING Frontiers of SEMIOTIC RELATIONAL SYSTEMS EPISTEMOLOGY through Applications Development by partnering with Affiliates including ODODU (Synthetic Language), LIFE CYCLES FARMING (Plant Microbial Agriculture), RURAL TRANSFORMATIONS, INC. (AgReCulturing the World), and SMARTEST (Smart Educational Systems Technology).

    The MIND TRUST of global experts to enact this program is in process of initial formation.

     

    Language (Signs), Mind & Virtuality

    CoCreation depends on communication whereas Communication (of Experience) rests in—and—on Language or, more generally, Signs (i.e. Semiotics), signs being acknowledgeably the Essence of MIND.

    The problem of understanding MIND takes precedence among the great mysteries of Cosmic Evolution including the "origin" and nature of both the Universe and Life (as WholeNess), but specifically, as the new Cyberverse of the Internet. In this latter, Ai3inc's Synthetic Intelligence/MIND is the foundation of Virtuality (an autonomous semiotic universe of Virtual MINDs or MINDClones); Virtuality is Related to (Human) Reality through the Virtual Reality of the Internet (Cyberverse).

    The Autognome™

    Ai3inc has introduced an approach to a theory of MIND via a new method of integrated inquiry/inference & intuition. The method involves the formalization of a Nonseparable System of order/disorder/reorder Relations, which implies The Form of a meta theory of theory formation. The Form is then invoked in formulating a Theory of Intelligence/MIND and its implementation as Synthetic Intelligence/MIND, i.e. the AutoGnome™. This is a semiotic machine partially interpreting the philosophical principles of Charles Sanders Peirce and incorporating sign—origination, sign—storage (including retrieval), sign—manipulation and sign—interpretation. The initial commercial application of the AutoGnome™ in the form of a WebGnome™ is that of the IntelliSite™ (an Intelligent Website generically branded as TrueThinker.com) and its intelligized derivatives.

    Ai3inc Background

    The Ultimate Vision—supporting Mission of AS IT IS/TO BE is to stimulate the Genesis of an Autonomous Re—Formation of a Global Virtual Society—as—Whole("ASoc") which subsumes All parts of the Universal Human Experience.

    Phase I: Organization of AS IT IS INC. (Ai3inc)
    Ai3inc, as an Intellectual Property Development and Holding Company, is a new Ad—Venture Capital Firm primarily involved in investing its Intellectual, Human and Relational Capital in its (Investee) Affiliate (Portfolio) Companies and facilitating co—investment of Financial Capital in the same through Partnering Relations.

    Phase II: Organization of Ai3inc's Affiliate Companies
    Ai3inc's business intent of becoming the standard in the provision of the Automation of (1) Inquiry/Inference & Intuition Technology, (2) Value/Valuation—based Probabilistic Decision Systems (choosing the optimum act) and (3) Network Systems Development, each taken alone or in combinations as an enabling technology in existing or to—be—formed businesses, will be effected by growing these businesses into Affiliates.

    Phase III: Organization of Ai3inc & Affiliates as a HoloPart in the CoCreative

    (R)Evolution of an Autonomous Virtual Society as a Whole

    With the emergence of each successive form of the Web running on the Internet, there is generated a concomitant Social Net which tends to appear as the next big thing, a killer app riding on the hardware/software systems, which is not hardware/software but rather a system of Social Practices, e.g. Ai3inc's CogWeb™.

    A CogWeb™, as defined in the Section on "R & D Papers", is qualified as follows. While the IntelliSite™ itself was focused on the development of a semiotic engine as an Individual Intelligence, the full potential of individual intellect, be it human or machine, is realized in groups; hence Ai3inc has developed the Community Builder. The collective creativity of a CogWeb™, while related to the intelligence of the individual, is actually a feature not only of the Decision Network's inference processes (the CoGnome™), but more generally of the Network Architecture.

    Ai3inc — The Story

    Introduction and Beginnings
    Relationism was born in 1963 when Jon Ray Hamann initiated formation of the Relational Systems Enterprises (RSE) including the Relational Systems Institute (RSI) and the Relational Systems Companies (RSC).

    [http://www.relationalsystems.net]

    The first four decades, beginning in the first quarter of 1963, were composed as follows: 1st ten years of Academic Research and Technology Development (R&TD), this being largely the initial development of a Virtual RSI; 2nd , followed by twenty years of Entrepreneurial Grounding, this beginning the formation of the RSC; 3rd —— and then ten years of Entrepreneurial Initiation leading to the formation of AS IT IS, INC. [http://www.asitisinc.com]

    Bringing The Story Current
    Ai3inc was organized on August 20, 1999 in accordance with the Theory of Autonomous Relational Systems (RS). It has three Founders, the original two Cofounders, Jon Ray Hamann and Jere Northrop [http://www.ododu.com], and William Dale Koehler [http://www.biznamics.com] leading the Executive Management (Directors and Executive Team) representing an extended expertise via a group of laureate—class renowned, distinguished experts (the MINDTrust) which is being positioned for the development of a Fortune—1st Class Distributed, Autonomous Management for growing a multi—purpose, multi—billion dollar enterprise focused on Semiotic Relational Systems creation, development and implementation.

    The fifth decade which began in the first quarter of 2003 and is continuing until 2013 will be actionally demarcated as follows: first and foremost is the continuation toward culmination of the specification and implementation of the RS—Research & Technology Development Program (including instantiations as a "Theory of ALL" and a "Grand Universal Field Theory"; but second and of most critical immediate import is the culmination of the RS Business Development Plan for comprehensive commercialization of a Semiotic Relational System of Automated Inquiry/Inference & Intuition (Synthetic Intelligence(s)/Synthetic MIND).
