There is some general utility for certain problem types. Just about "any" report / data processing Could be done in a system like this but that would make very little sense! However there are several easy to represent problem types where the system would present many significant advantages due to the fact that the Ru'id units can be contributed from "outside" the system (via an expert web session). The simplest set to recognize, imho, is "the shopping basket" (system) situation. Ru'ids could tear apart everything and anything in a shopping basket and make sense of what there is to make sense of (eg if it is a single computer they could give you a report on peer systems, tell you your cables are too small, and that you may be forgetting the CPU heat sink grease.) That was the ORIGINAL idea - 3 years ago. http://trevoke.net/ruids/index.php?topic=3.0

Dear H-16 ahhhh Thunk did not come here asking a specific question. His subject title was "It's a Bird, it's a Plane, um, ahhh, it's a Boid?" and, I believe it was a clear question of "what are these things". Well, nobody has been able to say (I had code up) but thunk thinks it is clear that since it is not threaded or fibered (and does not need this) it is something "new", and so was born a new name that did not any carry AI baggage. No desire to repeat himself, sorry, but there is a lot of confusion, it might seem. How can such a simple plug-let class be useful? BTW are you any relation to H-8 (my very first computer from Heathkit :) )

The intrinsic (?) value of these things seem to be that they can be "generated" via a simple web "session". Where, here "session" means "filling out a form, basically". Without that word it was steep up-hill but even with it, not much glimmer of recognition here, seemingly, on what this could mean. I concocted a "realistic" (as far as I know) scenario where a life (or 2 or 3) could be saved daily - but the question came up only on "Games". The answer is a resounding YES but the open source world continues to confound me with things like IronRuby OPEN-SOURCE from MicroSoft??? My golly, are they not the Evil Empire? And why was "Matz" (a genuine HERO, in my book) wearing a Python T-Shirt? at IronRuby. I am feeling OK with it all given the sandbox to put the situation up in once somewhat cohesive manner at http://trevoke.net/ruids/ (nothing for sale, only ideas on how something could happen that makes sense to everybody (including me) given all the circumstances. Just putting it up to a gitHub without support, without documentation, and "to see what happens" just does not seem to make any sense.) On the other hand - honestly - the more I have learned the more I think it could be an interesting contribution at the right time. George

If you are not understood it is completely useless to repeat over and over again what you are saying, it might however help to use the language of the people you are talking too. As you might undoubtedly conclude from my writings I am one of those poor non native speakers, who have to settle of a very simple usage of English in order to communicate... This said I completely understand your frustration about not being understood ore honored at your true value. As a matter of fact few of us are and communication problems play a major role in this.
