Neosentient Architecture Generator

This paper outlines an approach to a series of "open" purpose "architecture" generators and related systems. The word "architecture" is here defined in the broadest of linguistic manners. This paper outlines the long-term goals for the facilitation of the functional components of this 'system of systems', although the system will be designed to be extensible as a large-scale open source project. Three major components make up the system: 1) one or more databases, 2) a means to generate intelligent queries, and 3) a virtual media space to display media elements and processes as derived from the queries/interaction. I will begin by discussing precursors and historical problems related to computational creativity and symbiotic creative systems. Given the non-linear nature of the subject matter, the following text will progress in a modular manner, where much of the paper could we read in differing orders. Thus, it will not unfold in the linear manner of other more traditional IEEE papers, and should be explored with this intentionality by the reader. The project takes a multi-perspective approach to the subject matter in which no overarching hierarchy can be given, suggesting the need for such a form. Thus I will draw on the IEEE formatting related to "Component Heads" -- "components of your paper and are not topically subordinate to each other." This structure also mirrors the functionality of the system itself which seeks to explore dynamic heterarchical combinatorics as its overarching methodology as an intelligent system. Thus the reader may need to work harder at making the creative jumps that enable this analogue "system" to function by reading each of these different component heads in relation to each other and articulating their own connections between the components. This is a Koestler-like bisociational approach[1]. Thus the paper itself becomes an analogue combinatoric "architecture" used to discuss this project.
