http://www.xconomy.com/san-francisco/2012/08/07/the-next-internet-inside-parcs-vision-of-content-centric-networking/?single_page=true

''Take:''
*identification, testing and referencing (jumps, repetition, recursion, if)
*conditionality and dependence
*composition and membership (list items, sequence, division, sum, product)
*equality and inequality
*proximity and distance (greater/smaller than, difference)
''Add to this:''
*deduction and induction
and we got ourselves full-fledged artificial intelligence

''How:''
For identification we start to name things.
A name references everything carrying that name, thus returns a set
containing everything related as the “named” to that name.
This is already syntactic sugar for the most commonest of tests.
We can do the same with any kind of relationship. 
Relationships can be very complicated compound structures.

When things start to get complex, we may want the occurance of a
relationship to depend on the presence of some other relationship.
We thus need conditionality.

Relationships often come in pairs such as named><name.
They can be said to be “inversely equal” to each other.

Angel doesn't need namespaces, because namespaces are just an awkward way of
relating everything in that namespace to … the namespace. Hardly
spectacular. This is also why it doesn't need to be the same as RDF: RDF can
be quite effortlessly expressed in BULL. 

There's two kinds of relationships. Some relationships only exist because
they're defined, such as the relationship between a word and a sentence.
Other relationships can more generically be defined, such as the difference
between two numbers. A specific instance of such a relationship can then be
construed.

{{{
angel name >< named angel
angel family >< family member
angel child >< angel parent
angel creator >< angel creation
angel condition >< conditional angel
angel relation >< related angel (these 3 actually enable interesting queries)
relation subject >< subject relation 
relation relative >< relative relation
angel relative >< angel subject (this is actually a shorthand for the above)
angel called >< calls angel
tests angel >< angel tester
angel buffer >< buffer user
angel daemon >< posessed angel
daemon buffer >< buffer daemon
daemon command >< commanding daemon
daemon user >< posessing daemon
daemon policy >< police daemon
run priority >< run policy
running call >< call run
angel command >< commanding angel
command run buffer >< 
}}}

Normally, if you create an angel, it inherits all its relationships from
“angel”. The system informs you of this by creating a parent><child
relationship between “angel” and your new angel.

Angels are always created by context, meaning the relationships between other
angels. User input is just a filter which determines the output of some
running commands.

{{{
< is equal to >
< is inversely equal to >
sum >< term
difference >< addition
}}}

Each [[buffer]] has a size;
each [[string]] has a length.

Each buffer has a size, indicating the number of bits it consists of;
a string has a length indicating the number of substrings it consists of;
a table has a width, indicating the number of columns it consists of;
each tree has a depth; indicating the nesting level;
and a web has a span, indicating the number of relations(/nexus) it contains.

BULL seems to work this way:

*Stuff needs to be said.
*There's not two equivalent ways to say the same thing,
**though different sayings might occasionally point in the same direction.

But what needs to be said? Way too much, if you ask me.

Let me start by saying: “BULL is not really a language. It's a notation.” What I mean by this is that whereas human languages have very close written relatives, there's hardly a relationship between what is written and the information that is being transferred. BULL is quite the opposite; it's "just" a notation for the information that is being described. Nothing more. But neither does it lack anything in this sense. It's complete because you can describe "anything", human language being one of the more trivial but complex things you can describe.

Imagine the following sentence for example:

>“There's something that I need to tell you: I love strawberries.”

There's a ridiculous amount of information compressed into this small sentence:

*A subject (I) loves strawberries. The sentence doesn't describe what or who “I” is. Neither does is describe what a strawberry is or what it means “to love” something. This knowledge is assumed from the reader.
*“I need to tell you something”: there's a difficult nuance in this phrase. Is this some type of confession? Perhaps it's an exclamation in gratitude upon receiving some strawberries. Either way, the answer depends on the context of the sentence. We also need the context to define who the speaker is.

We need context for almost anything. We need to know who is saying what. We need to know what language they're using. We need to know the story.

To encode all this information in a manner that is comprehensible to a computer is actually quite boring and painful, but it doesn't need to be. Enter the World Wide Web, a distributed collection of so-called “web pages” containing select phrases linking to other pages on the web.

The next version of the Web is called the Semantic Web (Web 3.0), meaning that it'll encode information in such a way that it's comprehensible by computers. This is a pretty big deal and BULL is based on this concept, except without all the creepy formalism and layer upon layer of needless legacy crap. RDF sucks for precisely the reason that URLs suck, for precisely the reason that URIs still suck and why Git is taking over from Subversion.

Decentralization is the key to the succes of the web, but DNS isn't decentralized. It's merely “distributed”. The only “cute” thing about URLs (don't get me started about URIs) is that name part, which doesn't do justice to the nature of the 'Net. The other cute thing that contributed to the succes of the web was the original simplicity of HTML. Everyone could learn it in minutes. HTML is no longer cute. It's encumbered by layer upon layer of crap and cruft like CSS and JavaScript. Then, there's RDF, which makes the thing that is most crucial for the web (linking) even more difficult than it ever was before the web was invented.

My proposal is to get rid of all that crap. While we're at it, let's get rid of all our programming languages and data formats as well. They suck. Besides, they aren't getting us anywhere. We don't need languages. We already have enough of those, most of them even before we ever //dreamed// of computers. We just need a notation for a universal data model. A temporary notation, until computers have gotten fed enough information to start acting intelligent of their own accord.

XML is not a universal notation. It doesn't come even close. Data isn't hierarchical in nature and never has been. To pretend otherwise is about as useful as following the Pope's advice on birth control: you still get screwed, just on more different levels at once.

RDF is close to the perfect data model, except that is uses identifiers which are masturbatingly formal, which is an indication that using URIs instead of URLs didn't keep anyone from actually identifying with locators. RDF still looks like it's describing locations, which is too bad because the universe doesn't consist of locations. It consists of relations.

So rid yourself of RDF's mental baggage and start afresh. All you need is this: a relation between point A and B. Let's call point A the subject and point B the relative. This is intuitive and at least doesn't sound like it is mostly meant to keep the terminology restricted to an exclusive and select group of computer scientists.

There we have our model. Let's expand it a bit by saying that there aren't really any subjects or relatives. Not only are they not locations or identifiers. They simply don't exists. Strangely enough, this doesn't mean that they can't be located or identified. Of course they can! That's what we have relationships for!

All we need to be able to do is to define and to traverse relationships. The rest is syntactic sugar for our notation, but our model needs to be able to comprehend this difference.

This already allows us to describe anything! There's nothing that can't be described in term of its relationship to other “things”. What it doesn't give us yet is comprehension. How does the computer know what everything (or anything) means? For that we just need to define a concise bunch of axioms, a set that's compact enough for us to easily describe to the computer. Then we can relate //anything//, //literally anything// we want to these axioms to make the computer understand our information. How's that for artificial intelligence?

Angels don't exist but have a name, run around in hats and inherit their parents' properties, sometimes getting their own children.

Unless in path context, the first lie an angel tells is about its name.

A buffer holds anything that is or will be.

Buffers are derived from [[angels|angel]], but they're more physical.
They _contain_ content of a certain size and type, which is stored in
the buffer's stor.
A buffer can be part of a more complex system: a byte can be part of
an ASCII string, an array can be part of a matrix and so on.

A command represents something that'll act upon request.

Commands, too, are derived from [[angels|angel]], but they're more practical, since
they can act, possibly filling a buffer which is returned to the command's
calller. Commands can be called with arguments. When they're called,
they run as part of a jog.
