They now have a resources page at http://peace.wikicities.com/wiki/Resources.
Here are some aphorisms from the web site:
The Empty Page
How wonderful
No longer to be restricted in shape or form
''Quantum computing and before that grid processing will bypass the historical restrictions of memory, processing power and CPU design. As the potential for self configuring, growing and reconfigurable CPU become the norm the idea of language restricted too or by architecture is finally achieving redundancy''
The Invisible Hand
It is the result that gives rise to the means. What result is desired? When you dissect a butterfly is it any wonder it no longer flies? Design results in form. Do not design small things. Touch your nose.
And here is a discussion between Lobster (no angle brackets or 4) and PaulMorrison (the lines with 2 angle brackets):

I agree Flare is interesting in theory but how to implement? How to start? We do not need another language.
We need a language to describe existing code.

I was working for a short while with the Curl language - http://www.curl.com - this is web based and client centered one of the things we were developing is a code base that is synced In other words script is updated from a server core
However I believe this dependence on where code is stored will become less important as connection and processing and storage increase

Let us assume the program is running in a browser on a specialised wiki Now if the XML code is 1000 characters or 1 character if one line or 100 hundred lines (dependent on display preferences from the XLS stylesheet) what does it matter? - the programmer is secondary to the program secondary to the end result and it is up to the programmer to define and arrange the language/languages in a way that is simple and pleasing This arrangement will be different for a phone or large screen viewer
>> Could you explain why ASQ has much in common with FBP? The ASQ web site >> doesn't seem to talk much about autonomous agents...
AS ASQ is flexible as far as possible it can have much in common with FBP The reason we use a wiki (the web site is now secondary) is to develop components and the language on line http://peace.wikicities.com/wiki/ASQ-U so autonomous agents can be discussed as far as you feel is relevant or of interest
>>>> In order to begin the bootstrap process I am looking at XUL and Flare >>>> http://www.flare.org/prog-overview.html > >> >> XUL looks like it has part of the answer too! What is being bootstrapped?
I also looked briefly at XWT (based on XUL) but the project seems to be abandoned and the server code required to get a working example was not available. I have a feeling bootstrapping may not be required in the conventional sense because the wiki will evolve BUT if something was to be bootstrapped it would be a wiki designed for programming in . . .
So what is required: A server with a wiki BUT a wiki that has something like the FCK editor (for coding) AND allows javascript and other languages to be implemented and running
The code is secondary to the program
(this is why registering or trust metrics - inviting programmers one by one - some such mechanism is required) You can be sure the black hat 'script kiddies' will see such an environment as a challange The challange is to divert and utilise their dark genius ;) http://peace.wikicities.com/wiki/Coders

Yes as in qubits ASQ is portable because it runs from a browser

Exactly leave it to programmers and we will spend the next 40 years doing much of the same ;) (no disrespect to programmers - they are just stuck in a loop) I have no idea if this makes sense but increasingly it is making sense to me I hope it does for you too . . .
Yes, it does, increasingly! --PaulMorrison
That doesn't, though! --pm
