BBF001 Beyond Bitcoin & FORTH -- Hilbert Hotel with Infinite Cabinets --- Liang Ng
“This is a series to recap our work on FORTH and the next generation Internet hardware, software & networking technologies, starting with David Hilbert’s theory of infinity, as illustrated by the Grand Hotel with (a twist that is) rooms containing infinite cabinets, representing ownerships of digital assets (in the cabinets) using hash numbers. The Hash Filesystem replaces database servers, simplifying server node implementations based on FORTH architecture. “
