As sequel to Noomap, H4OME aims at being a new approach to how we do The Web and cybersphere technology in general by combining holonic data representation with blockchain technology, smart contracts, decentralized file storage, isomorphic data-visualization, 3D AR/VR ready interfaces and a programmable object space that introduces Holon Oriented Programming (HOOP) as the closure of Object Oriented Programming with Subject Oriented Programming.
H4OME is designed to make use of Ethereum and IPFS, though in its first iterations and current state, those technologies are mocked within the Holonic Map Server (H4MS) API backend.
The core of this system is the native client written mostly in QML/JavaScript with a bit of C++. This code base is meant to run on iOS, Android, Linux, MacOSX and Windows. It is a browser to navigate through the decentralized and fractal holonic cyberspace that H4OME is.
doc: Documentation, holon examples, API spec, ...h4ome: native client, h4ome browser, UI around h4ome_core, Qt projecth4ome_core: core classes and code, static library, Qt projectholon_directory_watcher: tool to sync a filesystem directory into holon land, Qt commandline projectholonic_map_server: REST API written with Ruby on Rails, now acting as an API backend to mock away Ethereum and IPFS, will later be a node within the decentralized system to store/cache holons and implement higher-level functionality as synergy engines and AIstests: tests for native client, Qt project
To build the client you need Qt >=5.7 and a complete C++ toolchain installed. You can use QtCreator and open all.pro or do a
qmake
make
in a shell.
For the Holonic Map Server you need Ruby on Rails >=5.0 (which needs Ruby >=2.2).
