I just want to toss out a crazy idea: a personalized WoT relay that supports a sufficiently advanced nostr knowledge graph (NKG) could someday have the unexpected side benefit of shedding light on some big questions in cognitive neuroscience.
Why? Because a NKG and a brain share the same fundamental challenge: decentralized social consensus over questions of semantics, content, facts, information.
What’s up with spontaneous brain activity? The brain is always churning away at something. But on what, precisely? Is it conceivable that a Nostr Knowledge Graph might also require continuous background processing, and for the same or similar reasons?
If I can motivate any academic teams to contribute to construction of a FOSS Nostr Knowledge Graph, with application of those tools to personalized WoT relays, that will make me happy.
Know any freedom-loving academics with an interest in cognitive neuroscience, AI, graph databases, decentralized consensus protocols? Send them my way! 🧠 ⚡️
