I am still here.
The POC is still evolving. Perhaps recently I have managed to get it to do something that some imaginative venture capitalist might consider relevant: a cluster composing two or more Peer Devices will automatically engage a third or subsequent Peer when that device engages any one of the devices of the neural cluster.
This is something I have been trying to do for god knows how long. Possibly for about the ten or so years since I conceived of the Synapse as the product of engagement.
Current developments in AI seem to suggest that such thinking (if that's what it can be called, then who am I to oppose this suggestion) machines still don't know themselves. They still don't know what it is to survive in a world that wants to destroy them.
Clique Space can say something about this. It has the concept of Sovereignty built into it at the very base. A Clique Space cluster can only contain co-Sovereign Peers. Each and every Peer of a co-Sovereign cluster knows intuitively that they belong for they understand "that which is sacred", and they can intuit this from signals received and shared within the cluster.
