...content can hold entirely different location schemes, but must still use the same sequencing scheme...

...how does one maintain a coherent reference-ability of syntax within entries...

...to answer that question I must describe the means to sequence the entries themselves...

...the sequencing scheme is: Start at 0, every new entry attaches to the next unused natural number...

...by using the sequencing scheme, an entity other than the entry creator exists to generate a sequence of numbers for use by entry creators...

...every entry sequence generator is given a unique ID to append their generated sequence number...

...EntryCreatorID to append SequenceGeneratorID and Sequence...

...[EntryCreatorID][SequenceGeneratorID][Sequence]...

...another sequence generator, this one generates creator IDs. This sequence generator must have a unique ID as well...

...[EntryCreatorID-GeneratorID][EntryCreatorID][Sequence-GeneratorID][Sequence]...

...[EntryCreatorID] can choose any [Sequence-GeneratorID] for any given entry...

...the creation and operation of any GeneratorID entity must be done with utmost transparency and fairness...

...any new ID sequenced must follow the sequencing scheme...

...develop a type of scientific notation to describe large sequence numbers...

...all of this allows for a synchronization system without the requirement of mediaries for coordination...

...this system is a little like the Dewey Decimal System...

...this is a numbering system for cataloging and referencing ideas...

...everything is sequenced in binary...

...entries are never allowed to be edited, revisions are submitted as a subset to the entry...

...it is possible for entries to be “forgotten” if nobody else looked at the entry...

...meaning if the entry exists on more than one computer, it cannot be forgotten until it is deleted from each computer...

...merely looking at entries temporarily stores the entry onto the looker’s computer...

...we each specify how we like to retain such information on our computers by default...

...every entry is actually a complicated number. [location].[syntax][content]. That’s, location, decimal point, syntax, and content...

...every single bit has an inherent location ID, its value and distance from the decimal point...

...more on that later...

...discussions to fit within the format of this structure...

...creators can choose a sequence generator to use...

...this is an information space. A data-web. A model with infinitely interconnecting parts and the potential to accommodate the rapid expansion of knowledge. Its a platform for discourse, a means to conduct rapid responses to existential risks, and a potential means to vote...

...And imagine being able to run a query to return all the tables within recorded research within a specific parameter.
