  This is where thought turns to action. With our thoughts collected and organized, we can put them to work: our thoughts may be collated with content and expressed as documents; they might traverse the Web to find related information; they might interface with social networks to connect like-minded individuals. Organized within semantic networks, thoughts have the power to direct computers on our behalf.

  • The word “thought” signifies a very elemental cognitive unit. We manipulate and compound these primitive structures to form ideas, arguments, and perspectives.

  Our thoughts are fleeting and immaterial, this mysterious stuff that’s locked away in our heads. Painstakingly, we collect our thoughts and transform them into words and documents. This transformation from thought into action is
  time-consuming and expensive. Thinking is a decidedly “offline” and manual process.
  
  What would happen if you could instead make your thoughts tangible and concrete? What if you could collect your thoughts as readily as you can search online? What if your thoughts could self-organize around your tasks while you’re
  off doing other things? Thought networking is the idea that’s
  driving our efforts at Primal Fusion to explore these big questions.

  • Thought networks provide a concrete semantic representation of our thoughts, ideas and interests. Encoded as data, our thoughts are accessible to the power of computing. Semantic synthesis provides the means to expand and connect these thoughts in entirely new ways. Equally important, as structured data, thought networks may be used as inputs to software “agents” to automate much of the drudgery of our online experience.
  • Once we digitize our thoughts and put them online, our thoughts may interact with the world even when we’re not attending to them. They become both an independent embodiment of our thinking as well as a powerful knowledge asset. Thought networks won’t displace thinking any more than social networks displace our socializing. But they will augment our ability to think and get stuff done.
