Jewel - The World's First Web Prism

Eliminating the Double Hop

A person who does not speak English must learn it (the first hop) before learning to write code (the second hop). Almost all programming languages are in English.

Jewel lets users create machine behaviors using their own language and their own way of thinking, without needing to learn English or how to write code. Global diversity gets a major boost.

Far beyond the capabilities of template-based web page editors, Jewel uses arguably the most powerful tools humanity has ever created. Speak, type, gesture, drag-n-drop to express what you want. Watch as your ideas are unlocked and transformed into Web behaviors in real-time.

Jewel enables many more people around the world to participate in the global digital economy. It enables high quality video and web-based interaction even over low speed connections (e.g. full motion video over as little as a 38KB connection). 

Jewel removes barriers to entry.

There are almost 8 billion people in the world and less than 1% [~20 million] are coders. Think of all of the ideas that are potentially lost to the world. That gives us nearly 8 billion reasons why we are compelled to offer an alternative. 

Also, languages are dying at an alarming rate. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages went extinct, according to the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger. Today (2018), a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, 50 to 90 percent of them are predicted to disappear by the next century. According to Ethnologue, a catalogue of all the world’s known living languages, 1,519 currently living languages are at risk of death, with a further 915 said to be dying.

The continued dependency between language and access to technology unnecessarily perpetuates the gaps in global diversity.

Employing more people and enabling communities must entail better technology that lowers barriers to entry. This problem affects millions indigenous people around the world, in particular, but many more people who simply do not know how to code.

We have taken an open source web browser engine and wrapped it inside of a powerful transformational technology that is a semiotic (how meaning is made through signs, symbols, human and machine languages, semantics, syntactics and pragmatics) intelligence system. 

Jewel quite literally, transforms (e.g. for efficiency and quality) and translates meanings in ways that none of the signal processing and translation technologies in the market today do. It is based on an approach that has been in development for nearly a decade.

Jewel employs natural language dialog along with natural language processing and many AI/ML approaches in parallel so that the result is much more humanistic than alternative technologies today. 

The underlying technology generates code that has a primary goal of enabling the evolution from software (using programming languages to instruct machines) to wantware (human wants expressed as real-time generated machine behaviors). 

As only one of the many applications for this technology, Jewel (a precious thing) is our intended gift to humanity.

Jewel will be followed by projects that bring transformational technologies to the edge that will enable under-served communities to gain access to compute resources that are currently only available in the cloud.

Given the UNESCO validated endangerment and demise of languages and  cultures around the world, millions of indigenous people (e.g. all of the native Americans in Alaska) are at the top of our list of people who need Jewel. We are collaborating with the SIL Institute and Wikitongues to assist them in their efforts to help endangered communities of indigenous people.

However, the problem includes rural areas (e.g. schools, homes, businesses, hospitals, etc.) that can benefit from greater access to the Internet without depending on large infrastructure investments. Greater bandwidth alone won't address challenges relating to cultural differences and the need for greater understanding (so much is currently lost in translation). We intend to offer Jewel to rural area communities as a top priority.

Businesses/entrepreneurs that struggle because of barriers to entry (e.g. do not know how to code, don't speak English, have limited accesses to programming talent) will all benefit greatly. A world where ideas are no longer trapped [by limited technology] is a world that is finally able to tap into a bigger and more diverse talent pool. The prospect of enabling the many instead of the few is why organizations like SOLVE exist. 

Jewel is the world’s first Web Prism. Unlike web browser technology [from Google, Microsoft, Safari, Apple, Opera, etc.), a Web Prism uses next generation patented technology to instantly transform all signal data (text, photo, streaming video, web pages, sensors, and more) into 4 dimensional (3D plus changes over time) math equations. Signals become easily translatable (e.g. language to language, code to code), simple to transform (e.g. for higher quality than the original, etc.), and modifiable (e.g. using natural language to create/change behaviors of code). 

Jewel is about much more than browsing the Web.

• Every written language – is supported, not just on the web. Every app that we build and every app/service that we connect to (e.g. licensed for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, other native and web apps) supports every written language.
• Extending hope to the rest – The foundation is established to create new written versions of unsupported languages.
• Greater access at lower cost – Low bandwidth locations (e.g. rural and developing world) benefit from ability to transform low res media (every web page, photo, video, etc.) into the highest resolution of the viewers’ display.
• Understanding what is meant – enables Jewel users and any licensed app or service to capture meanings for better translation and user experiences.
• Understanding what code to generate – when we know what the user wants to happen, we can generate machine instructions to make it happen [within rules, policies, legal constraints).
• Understanding is sharable and secure – the ability to tell the user why code behaviors are what they are, which is inherently more secure.
• Create, trade and monetize [if allowed] software behaviors – we enable users of Jewel and any licensed app or service to create software behaviors [without writing code] and facilitate changing and trading them [within rules, policies, legal constraints], live.
• Expression Creation/Sharing/Monetizing – enables Jewel users and any licensed app or service to express/share/monetize emotion and artistic messages as software behaviors [without writing code] and facilitate changing them [within rules, policies, legal constraints], live.

We take existing web browser engines [can work with browser companies] and wrap it inside of our breakthrough patented Digital Quaternion Logarithm Signal Processing System and Method for Images and Other Data Types. See the video of a prototype that shows 38K connection [throttled using a 3rd party app] compared to a Skype video stream [not throttled].

• Note: The video does not show application of multiple upsampling/downsampling/compression/quality-enhancement-filtering and AI/ML algorithms that we can employ in parallel using a fraction of the compute resources that would otherwise be required. A new prototype will be ready in August that shows many world-changing features combined.

• Note that code is being generated from meaning units that are mapped to inputs via NLP, not libraries of code that requires coders. This is massive as it means that people around the world can teach the system what they mean (sort of a crowdsourcing method for teaching machines the nuances so that the experience becomes more personal).

We must escape the current way of thinking.

Humanity has been here before. To realize the brighter future delivered by modern modes of travel, we had to accept that horses and buggies were not the end game. Today, we must first acknowledge that the problem is how we create, test, deliver, integrate, and maintain software. Only then can we confidently and fully redefine the future through entirely new modes of computing.

Releasing ideas benefits everyone.

Our platform is about much more than faster apps or even better AI. Through a new generation of adaptive apps, engineers become much more effective.  Everyone creating machine behaviors [without writing code] will create a global explosion of economic growth in existing and new markets.

This is a much needed next step in the evolution of computing. Software must be complimented by wantware. Whether the problem is COVID-19 (we've been invited and have submitted a proposal to a national lab to develop a 17 PetaFlop supercomputer that will fit inside of 4 racks) or the ability to teach complex scientific topics in styles that are more aligned with the way the students think [based on culture]. 

The scientific community needs more powerful and accessible tools, so do our children. Both are essential to making the world a better place for all.

Into the Future.

We do not believe in simply continuing to build on top of software models that were created for a different time. To do so would be the equivalent of mounting rockets on a horse. We believe that the purpose, and even the size, of an operating system, along with its relationship to hardware, applications, data, and users, all must change. We've identified a way to make it happen. Now all we need is the right partners/enablers/mentors. We hope that we've done so much of the heavy lifting that others will help us the rest of the way. We can not do it on our own.

Currently: Zero

One Year: 2 million

Five Years: 10 million

These numbers are conservative given the markets that we can uniquely serve (rural and indigenous and disadvantaged/unsupported languages)

Yr 1 Goals: 

1. Every written language is supported. 
2. The foundation is established for creating new written versions of unsupported languages.
3. Provide enhanced quality support to low bandwidth locations

Yr 2 Goals:

1. Understanding what is meant – capturing meanings for better translation and user experiences.
2. Understanding what code to generate – supporting the evolution from mostly users to creators.
3. Understanding is sharable – more meaning-based transactions for unlocking ideas.

Year 3 Goals:

1. Create software behaviors – creating software behaviors [without writing code] and facilitate changing them [within rules, policies, legal constraints], live.
2. Trade software behaviors – trading software behaviors [within rules, policies, legal constraints] and the recipient to incorporate them, live.
3. Monetize software behaviors – monetizing software behaviors [within rules, policies, legal constraints] and allowing the recipient to incorporate them, live.

Year 4 Goals:

1. Expression Creation – expressing emotion and artistic messages as software behaviors [without writing code] and facilitate changing them [within rules, policies, legal constraints], live.
2. Share/Trade Expressions – sharing/trading expressions [within rules, policies, legal constraints] and allowing the recipient to incorporate them, live.
3. Monetize Expressions – monetizing expressions [within rules, policies, legal constraints] and allowing the recipient to incorporate them, live.

Year 5 Goals:

1. Universal Communication – no culture has to forego their native language to participate in the global digital economy.
2. Universal Creators - no one has to learn English or programming language to create machine behaviors.
3. Sustainable Communities – ideas are no longer trapped by unnecessary barrier between creators and technology needed to realize them.

1. Financial - we have raised over $7M from angel investors. The breakthroughs that we have created have occurred alongside billions of dollars in investments by institutions around the world in challenges like parallelism. We have achieved with a small investment what others have not. We now need funds to go to market. 
2. Market Barriers - the browser market is highly competitive. 
3. Technical - we have less than 2 months of platform development work remaining before we're rapidly building products like Jewel without writing code. 

1. Financial - as little as $500k would put us on solid footing towards achieving market success.
2. Market Barriers - companies like WhatsApp have proven that emerging markets have needs that do not accept artificial barriers like brand recognition. We envision licensing our technology to browser companies to achieve revenue generation with Jewel.
3. Technical - we have put in the hard work building a revolutionary technology that can't be easily replicated. We are wrapping up the final technical work and can allocate the majority of our resources to market entry.

The business model for Jewel is to provide it as a free product to everyone that supports our vision of enabling the world to "create at the speed of thought." We anticipate that it will be the biggest advance in global diversity since the creation of the Internet. Increasing access to information in the users' style of thinking and removing barriers to creating machine behaviors will benefit billions of people.

We will generate revenue by licensing the underlying Web Prism technology to browser companies.

Jewel will be available for download from our website and app stores.

Like the creation of modern modes of travel, Jewel is about new destinations. Turn the key and go. Technology becomes more an appliance when it does what the user wants based on what the user expressed vs. what a coder determined could be done.

We feel that this need is so important that we want to give it away to consumers around the world. 

We have a highly significant revenue model through licensing our technology [a new way to compute] to businesses and government agencies. We are currently in deal discussions with companies that produce, store and distribute large amounts of data.
