ok well let me continue a little bit:
what if facebook could understand what's written in every post?
what features could we do with that?
that sounds so big that we don't even know where to begin.
but no one yet knows how to do it.
that doesn't mean that we have to postpone this dream.
let's just use simple enough english (i.e. human readable representation of logic like Attempto Controlled English) that the machine can understand.
that'd basically be the first alpha (with a lot more to say, here's a terribly initial design of the menus that i sketched in 5 mins just to make a point to someone
http://tauchain.org/layout.html ), while from there to self-defining decentralized collaborative development platform, the way is short. at least from the average user's perspective.
Hmm.. That is huge!!! Than indeed (if I got it right), at least some significant part of the white paper will be focused more on that "simple enough, human readable english that the machine can understand", the structure and the use cases, while leaving in behind for more tech advanced user the actual process of how it actually happens.
My first thought is: all this should (MUST) be wrapped in VERY good UI/UX design, from the best of the best in the industry. The whole success of Apple vs Nokia was UI/UX.
