Plots in Open Web Mind

I’ve always enjoyed creating visualizations. The trouble is, it takes a really long time to create these visualizations: research the topic, collate the data, source the images, design the layout and code the animation. I’ve long dreamed of a tool that would do all the hard work for me. So I made one. Open Web Mind allows you to visualize nodes... nodes that can represent anything: mountains, colours, people, anything. In plot view, it allows you to control precisely where each node appears along x-, y- and z-axes. You can create visualization based on any values, from traditional periodic tables to revealing relationships... between elements’ abundance and atomic number, planet’s density and distance from the sun, anything. Playing around in plot view, you’ll find that Open Web Mind doesn’t just help you see. It helps you think. — Visualizations * Rivers of the Pacific [https://www.thingsmadethinkable.com/rivers-of-the-pacific] * Real World Colour Wheels [https://www.thingsmadethinkable.com/item/real_world_colour_wheels.php] * Earth Elevation [https://www.thingsmadethinkable.com/item/earth_elevation_cross_sections_along_parallels.php] * 1-Dimensional Countries [https://www.thingsmadethinkable.com/item/one_dimensional_countries.php] * Nuclides [https://www.thingsmadethinkable.com/item/nuclides.php] Sources * River and glacier geography from Harvard University – Centre for Geographic Analysis – World Rivers [https://gis.harvard.edu/projects/worldmap], Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/], OpenStreetMap [https://www.openstreetmap.org/] and Earth Sky – First complete map of ice flow from heart of Antarctica [https://earthsky.org/earth/first-complete-map-of-ice-flow-from-heart-of-antarctica] * Combined elevation and bathymetry data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – National Centres for Environmental Information – ETOPO1 Global Relief Model [https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html] Amante, C. and B.W.

Values in Open Web Mind

The knowledge hypergraph is all about edges between nodes. But it’s not just about relationships between entities. It has cold, hard numbers, too. If you’ve been impressed by what you can do with the relationships between entities in Open Web Mind, you’re going to be blown away by what you can do when you throw in those cold, hard numbers. — Credits * wordings from WordNet [https://wordnet.princeton.edu/] created by Princeton University [https://www.princeton.edu/] licensed under WordNet 3.0 license [https://wordnet.princeton.edu/license-and-commercial-use] * wordings from Wikipedia [https://www.wikipedia.org/] created by Open Web Mind reader [https://www.openwebmind.com/reader] licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/] according to Wikipedia license notice [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights] * wordings and values from List of chemical elements – Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements]created by Wikipedia [https://www.wikipedia.org/] licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/] according to Wikipedia license notice [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights] * wording from List – List of natural satellites – Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_satellites#List] created by Wikipedia [https://www.wikipedia.org/] licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/] according to Wikipedia license notice [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights] * values from World Development Indicators | The World Bank [https://wdi.worldbank.org/table] created by The World Bank [https://www.worldbank.org/] licensed under CC BY 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/] according to World Bank license notice [https://data.worldbank.org/summary-terms-of-use] * File:FullMoon2010.jpg - Wikimedia Commons [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FullMoon2010.jpg] created by Gregory H.

Minds and melds in Open Web Mind

Open Web Mind is a knowledge hypergraph that holds all human knowledge. But it’s not a monolith. It’s made up of many individual minds. Each mind is its own knowledge hypergraph. Each has different edges, but these edges are between the same nodes. Which means you can meld your mind with other minds, and think as if your mind and those other minds were one. Open Web Mind is a billion knowledge hypergraphs that hold a billion individuals’ and institutions’ knowledge, melded into a combinedknowledge hypergraph that holds all human knowledge. It’s a billion minds, melded into humanity’s mind. — Hosted by Mark Jeffery [https://markjeffery.com/] founder of Open Web Mind [https://www.openwebmind.com/] I release the Open Web Mind podcast as a video too!

The simplest protocol ever

Open Web Mind is a hypergraph of nodes and hyperedges. Nothing more. Nothing less. It’s the simplest protocol ever. So how can something so simple hold something as complex as humanity’s mind? — References * There are a hundred billion [https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/brain-metrics/are_there_really_as_many/] neurons in your brain Images * Earthenware phrenological bust [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earthenware_phrenological_bust,_areas_are_marked_off_with_an_Wellcome_L0057601.jpg] from the Wellcome Collection [https://wellcomecollection.org/]licensed under CC BY 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en] * Multipolar Neuron [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0657_MultipolarNeuron.png] by Bruce Blaus [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BruceBlaus] licensed under CC BY 3.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en] — Hosted by Mark Jeffery [https://markjeffery.com/] founder of Open Web Mind [https://www.openwebmind.com/] I release the Open Web Mind podcast as a video too!

What is a hyperedge in Open Web Mind?

I’ve talked about edges in Open Web Mind, representing connections between nodes. But there’s a more precise way to represent connections in Open Web Mind. Hyperedges. Hyperedges are what make Open Web Mind a truly powerful way to capture human knowledge. They transform the knowledge graph into the knowledge hypergraph. — References: * Node names and definitions from WordNet [https://wordnet.princeton.edu/] created by Princeton University [https://www.princeton.edu/] licensed under WordNet 3.0 license [https://wordnet.princeton.edu/license-and-commercial-use] — Hosted by Mark Jeffery [https://markjeffery.com/] founder of Open Web Mind [https://www.openwebmind.com/] I release the Open Web Mind podcast as a video too!
