I posted this here in order to begin a trail back to “Wolfram Alpha”. Subject of a discussion on my friendfeed about an hour ago. The branches off this tree suddenly took me through the looking glass and into a world of computational engines and AI that is currently the hot topic with some of my friendfeed cohorts. Twine and the Semantic Web suddenly also blipped on to my screen; thus the following link.

All this reminds me of Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle and Leibniz’s computational engine based on a symbolic language in the latter 17th century.

Absolutely fascinating!

OK, This should work. I’ve now connected FriendFeed to Twine.
