BlockScience on LinkedIn: Digital twins: A personalized future of computing for complex systems |… (2024)

David Sisson and Ilan Ben-Meir explore the evolution of computer networks, from OSI and TCP/IP models to the concept of network computers. They propose a future with decentralized, federated machine learning through a network of network computers.https://lnkd.in/g5dgzsjZ#machinelearning #opensystemsinterconnection #OSI #transmissioncontrolprotocol #internetprotocol

Our Chief Engineer, Michael Zargham, shares his perspective on the meaning of "economics," referencing the Federal Reserve Bank of New York "Fields of Study in Economics," in a short video clip from the June 2024 meeting of the Open Source Science Initiative (OSSci) Economics Interests Group.https://lnkd.in/gUdYVbrBThe Open Source Science Initiative (OSSci) broadly focuses on theoretical and empirical economics, incorporating #datascience and #operationsresearch. It explores mechanisms, markets, and institutions and how #opensource practices can drive economic impact.https://lnkd.in/gzyA_sppOpen Source Science Initiative (OSSci)is aNumFOCUS initiative within which the goals of the Group are to:- Promote #OpenSource Solutions- Bridge the Gap: Economics & Technology- Support Policy Advocacy- Collaborate and Share Knowledge- Educate & Raise Awarenesshttps://lnkd.in/gnzaeBBH

We’re organizing a Governance Modules Library (#GML) call on Neural Quorum #Governance w/ @StellarOrg community. Join the roundtable as we discuss learnings & share insights on this collaboratively built mechanism. 📅 21st August 🕒 10am EST 📍https://lnkd.in/g97hsk2T Neural Quorum Governance (NQG)is a novel voting-power attribution & delegation mechanism that combines Neural Governance (NG) Power Attribution + Quorum Delegation (QD) Signalling Forms https://bit.ly/3Jnk3ENNeural Governance "...a stable framework on which continuous innovation & adaptation can occur as to how voting power should be allocated..." + modular + flexible voting-power attribution https://bit.ly/3Umi2PC Quorum Delegation "...allows users to delegate their votes to trusted private groups (quorums) and specify the level of agreement required for the vote delegation to be enacted” + reinforce trust & group cohesion + avoid collusion https://bit.ly/3TY0gjZ

By enabling the proliferation of data products and services, Data Intermediary Networks have the potential to unlock latent forms of value in data, and when emerging via "middle-out" cooperation and co-regulation, may empower alternative data economies that are open, diverse, and resilient. Data Mesh Architecture: Interoperability, Co-Operation, and Co-Regulation. SSRN: https://bit.ly/3WEAv9V In a recently published research paper authors Dr Kelsie N. David Sisson Ilan Ben-Meir &Michael Zarghamexamine the emergence of data mesh architectures and data intermediaries as key components in emerging data economies. They present interoperable 'Data Intermediary Networks' as having the potential to foster cooperation and co-regulation among data product operators, data providers, and consumers. These networks could increase the variety of economically viable data products and services, and subsequently expand data markets, networks, and value.

"...Balanced protocol design ensures mechanisms are robust enough to account for the nuances of real-world interactions while still being transparent and understandable to participants.The ultimate goal is to promote fairness, efficiency, and trust..." Recently published research offers a base set of three (3) decision principles for digital infrastructure mechanism selection. 1. Legibility: make rules & mechanisms understandable. 2. Variety: design mechanisms that can be adjusted over time. 3. Safety: provide guardrails &/or computationally enforce rules that should not be violated, under any circ*mstances. Consolidating learning from systems engineering projects, the above principles are seen as emergent consequences of applying well-known, engineering heuristics; Occam's Razor, Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, and the Precautionary Principle.Blockscience authors Danilo Lessa Bernardineli, Ilan Ben-Meir, Jakob Hackel Michael Zargham also discuss how these principles are applied in practice with case studies including: * Aztec Network Blockchain Sequencer Selection* Stellar Development Foundation Community Fund Neural Quorum Governance#MechanismDesign #OperationsResearch #TokenEngineering #SystemsEngineeringRead Paper: https://lnkd.in/g5gM4656

Senior Research Engineer Orion Reed made the top of the Y CombinatorHacker News feed recently for his research on Scoped Propogators (SP), a programming model designed to be embedded within existing environments and user interfaces Two key insights for the Scoped Propagator Model: 1. By representing computation as mappings between nodes along edges, we lessen the need to fix node interactions at design time. 2. By scoping propagation to events, we can augment nodes w/ interactive behavior that's suitable to the host environment. Although there are many questions about this model yet to be answered... - function reuse - modeling side-effects - handling multi-input-multi-output propagation - other applications Formalization of the model and examination of real-world usage is now underway in collaboration with our Chief Engineer Michael Zargham.Watch this space!
