Event Description

We're honored and delighted to have Tony Barr, creator of the SAS programming language and founder of Barr Systems here in Gainesville, making an intriguing presentation on his latest project, "A Model Of Reality".


"It is my belief that a better model for knowledge representation is to use
pictures to represent types, objects, and functions. The unification of set
theory, functions, and the type/ object model is a minimalistic formalism that
is sufficient for both type and object representation. It can be shown to be one
to one with the structure of languages such as C# and Pascal."

The system now periodically reorganizes valid data into new volumes, allowing old, partially used ones to be cleared and reused.
