Phlog It

An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula. Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently. Posts not currently on the main page are available in the archive.

The WIZ Project -- It starts with the creation of a new race of creatures, little guys called WIZes. And it follows through with how they will change the way the Human race relates to the material universe and to each other. Physically, a WIZ is a small piece of electronics, perhaps the size of a pea. It is self-powered, and in radio communication with all other WIZes. Electrically, a WIZ is a general purpose electronic circuit which will replace just about every other electronic circuit on the planet. Look at anything that has electronics in it today. A single pea-sized WIZ replaces it. And functionally, a WIZ is a bit of a "mind". A WIZ-mind is a communication and control system between a human and a WIZ-object. A WIZ-mind is able to sense its environment, make recordings of its environment, compare the current environment to previously recorded environments, and make decisions which produce the best chance of success. I see the WIZ as operating mainly in two spheres of existence. One, as a mind in all material, electrical, or mechanical objects. And secondly, as the pure beingness of a "communicator".
