(Yes, I had a pretty long moustache, during that spring of 2011 ; a girlfriend of mine likes long moustaches ; but mine was at that period way too bushy, even for the strongest wax. Please note that I'm still in search of the perfect beard !)

Hi !

I started the Mots Sapiens Project Wiki as an ultimate attempt to realize a genuine Wish Machine in the real world — and not just in a sci-fi novel. (I also intend to write a sci-fi novel, don't worry !^) Since then, I finally endeavored — and succeded ! — to program a functional prototype of such a machine ; see : https://github.com/fredofromstart/The_Mots_Sapiens_Project.

Special thanks here to Sébastien Paquet for the inspiration his Emergent Cities series gave me to do it, along with mentioning my own work. (I suggest to read this series in the order it has been published, that is, from the bottom up.)

Other inspirational sources // Autres sources d'inspiration :


 * Plusieurs écrits de Douglas Hofstadter, dont une certaine grande-tante (Ma Thémagie). Gödel. Puis tous les bons romans de science-fiction, Clifford Simak, Douglas Adams et son Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, David Gerrold et son Harlie. David Brin et son essai The Transparent Society. Les premiers ordis abordables (j'ai commencé avec un Vic-20). Et bien sûr Le jeu des perles de verre de Hermann Hesse. Novalis et son projet d'encyclopédie… Le langage. L'internet. ^^

The present wiki will also be useful for me as a place where to, little by little, sort out, organize and discuss with you my many, many notes and ideas on the subject of the emergeware described on this wiki.

I hope you enjoy it and that an emergent semantic web for the people and by the people will soon become a refreshing reality in this world !
