2.1 Communication Layer

Single View

YUMDIE! will have a “Single View Interface” that is consistent throughout the whole system, and where the position of information is predictable.

Transparant Event Handling

In my essay “on mouseUp” this one event stands symbol for the many events, that are monitored while we’re using digital tools these days. In this abstract and invisible world anything can happen after an event.

In the environment - the App - I envision the User has a choice: what happens after communicating with the machine, it is clear what could happen! This requirement is inspired by the “user level” and “message passing order” of HyperCard in yonder days. These behaviors of HyperCard are well documented, and could be used as inspiration for a modern incarnation in a complex and networked world...

The choices could be something like this:

Personal Space

The interactions stay within the one machine being used, and it will be well documented what happens.

If the user has more than one machine to work with, it is clear how the personal information is distributed, or synchronized.

Group Space

Much happens within groups: a fine grained system will be in place to keep information within the boundaries the user sets.

Assistance

User will have a choice in the kind and amount of artificial intelligence that will assist in his work.

Although the Eco-System of YUMDIE! will be supported by state-of-the-art AI-assistance to keep it healthy!

Think of it like this: until now the computer could be used like a “bicycle for the mind” - the “old fashioned one”! Artificial Intelligence could become a bit like the E-bike: I can choice the amount of assistance I want from the electric motor...

Hope you get the point!
