The problem is that the relational database of tables has no relationship to how humans store information, we humans use graph structures to relate information. This is why RDBMS are a dead end in getting closer to understanding.

Hmm, could the use of genAI have anything to do with this failure and the inability to quickly fix it?

This discovery fully validates the organic system side of Peter Putnam's theory on induction, the Neuro Conditioned Reflex Principle, that requires changing state at synapses over time to select the nested Relative Dominance feedback winner in a given Conditioned Reflex feedback loop. Its quite incredible that the functionality of induction proposed by Putnam in 1963 has been consistently validated since then. [1]

The Graphmetrix patent on Conceptual Awareness interfacing with a Linked Data Hypergraph finally came through.

This new SystemTwin™ information structure allows us to capture the full space-time data and interlinked documents about a part of the world in the form of a TwinPod™ or any number of linked TwinPod™s to model systems and collaborate at any scale.

The newish SBCL parallel gc is fantastic and uses no additional memory during gc

Its interesting that they don't even mention the key to human intelligence, concepts, in this list.

Would it work with the parallel GC feature?

A key error is there literally are no where close to billions of concepts. Its a misunderstanding of what a concept is as used by us humans. There are an unlimited number of instances and entities, but the concepts we use to think about them is very limited by comparison.

Our[1] solution to that is to use a hierarchical semantic systems approach such that you can give access to a subsystem or entire biological systems.

Thats a terrible ontology (the relations) - needs to be much lower level to understand anything important.

Seems a bit scary that the "source" text from the pdfs could actually be hallucinated.

Does it hallucinate with the LLM being used?

Probably without too much difficulty. If you have a sample to confirm, that would be great. frederick @ graphmetrix . com
