Social Networks of Things

Ambient Personalities, Sensor Networks, and Data POV create a matrix for engineering simple recursive algorithms in much the same way that Conways Game of Life allowed for a field in which these algorithms could. What will these algorithms look like when applied to the combination of simple interactive HCP talking devices, an abundance of real time networked sensor data, and data points of view?

A lot of discussion within the Group has revolved around the difference between making these networks mimic and mirror design uses, primarily for human benefit (or detriment, in the case of unregulated commerce and persuasive technology), AND, what these social networks of internet attached devices might present as, if left to the designs of the mathematic adhesive gluing the components together alone.

Using cellular automata and premade HCP/Ambient Personality scripts, we are currently working on attaching such evolving scripts to interaction devices, so that these objects data POV may have a means for communication back out into a shared space with human social networks. Initial modeling tests have been quite humorous, which clearly indicates there will be a demand in human social networks for entertainment and advertising value. But then again, what doesnt have advertising value any more?
