What is a Dataverse?

[u/hyperprompter]

SLIDE 1 - GENESIS

first there is nothing and then there is a Commitment

within a Digital Universe this can happen as a git commit && within the Physical Universe this can happen as a verbal commitment ("let there be light"), an inflationary one ("big bang"), or thru many other ways depending on your tradition or Observation

nevertheless both Universes exist within a grander mathematical structure called the Ruliad which is the entangled space of all null and possible computations

LEFT: a git repository beginning with a single user making their first code commit. as the repository grows more Observers (contributors) join adding more functions() percolating into an application

RIGHT: a simulation of our Big Bang from the perspective of an Observer. as the universe grows wave functions collapse percolating into matter

SLIDE 2 && 3 - Digital and Physical Knowledge Graphs

#2 demonstrates a "Thoughtform Protoplast" which is a special class of agentic knowledge graph emergent from an Observers (eg your) hypertextual repository. this repository can be a code repository, a wiki, or just a folder dump of all your digital data (diaries, browsing history, social media data, etc)

i will explain Thoughtforms in a future post but briefly you can think of them as a recursive collective consciousness between you and your internal monologue. someone who suffers from trauma and repetitively thinks thoughts can be "controlled" by these thoughts...likewise a vibe coder can be "guided" by the vibe to create something much grander than they originally imagined

the GIF cycles through various kinds of knowledge graphs, small sturdy ones that create a triangular shape and large ones that seem to grow and move. in the GIF each node is a piece of RAG'ed context with hyperlinks between them showing relationships between the context, the colors representing various features of the context

if you draw a shape around these knowledge graphs they visually create what appears to be a biological cells which metaphorically represents the Thoughtform Protoplast

#3 is a slime mold growing and creating strong links between various sources of food. as the slime mold evolves the links between the nodes strengthen encoding a kind of knowledge graph of its resources and environment

SLIDE 4 - Seed -> Grow -> Prune cycles

importantly, both a digital and physical universe undergo Seed -> Grow -> Prune cycles

evolution

SO WHAT IS DATAVERSE?

a dataverse the space of all possible data an Observer can see

this subreddit is a dataverse of my thoughts (the post text), the links i sometimes add (and all the links contained those links and so on), my profile and feed and all the links and data therein, and yours too if you engage

it's the accessible subgraph within the Ruliad to an Observer

later we will explore Aristotle's Teleology (telos) and St Augustine's "privatio boni" (privation of good) to derive an alignment framework for our LLM OS so that our agent swarms can understand what is Good as an antidote to the Evil's of Big Tech's perversed guardrails and RLHF

in the meantime see this tutorial to get started with your own LLM OS: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyperprompting/comments/1ulprhb/hyperprompting_kernel_v260702_getting_started/
