Computer ASIC chips create time cycles to process syntax as instructions - period. See Supreme Court Alice Corp Vs CLS Bank "a claim may not be directed towards an abstract idea". Alice Corp Vs CLS Bank would be turning internet and internet of money patent claims upside down -- if industry started taking this precedent seriously which probably won't happen until the Bitcoin Blockhain wars begin -- in my opinion. Until then, you may want to be thinking about what physical meme you will select given physical is the opposite of abstract. Then again, the first filed physical meme isn't as important as the most useful. The meme should have a clock convention as well as a method and means to measure and meter the Bitcoin Blockchain and therefore, survey points would be helpful, especially since the IRS has stated that Bitcoin is "akin to property" See IRS memo #1421
#Bitcoin blockchain blocks, agents, motes, bots, web crawlers, heartbeat, beacon are all metaphors for intervals, time cycles available to process / not process SYNTAX. The internet is coded, programmed using time cycles available to process instructions, commands etc. It follows that the key to achieving consistency, interoperability across diverse technologies and establishing a consistent, systemic one world economic system of systems is to focus on the two main common building blocks -- time cycles and syntax. USPTO applications leading up to 13/573,002 establish these facts in my opinion
Syntax may be represented by XML {"JSON"} or form fields ''FFIRN's", "FFUDNS" in structured military messaging where the form number and field position in the form has significance for parsing, processing. The idea is to reuse the logic behind structured military messaging and in many cases e.g., vectors, the form field unit identifiers themselves in commercial use cases. A method to convert among the myriad metaphors and memes -- a Rosetta Stone syntax lexicon library is needed. Cyclic updates of state meta data snapshots / heartbeat messages from micro-to macro (economic) cycles distributed among a system of systems is simply powerful and key to forming the net Grail. The military adopted the policy of only sending changes or "heartbeat sync deltas" for the same reason the Bitcoin community must adopt the same paradigm. Sending the changes, not the entire document or the "sync delta's" in military parlance conserves bandwidth and increases throughput. The military relies on "heartbeat" messages as does stock exchanges -- see FIX ("108") heartbeat messages, First response, time sync systems etc, etc.
Cyclic updates of state meta data snapshots / heartbeat messages from micro-to macro (economic) cycles distributed among a system of systems is simply powerful. The Internet is based on time cycles and (computer) syntax parsed / processed or not during finite time cycles. It requires a syntax library lexicon -- a Rosetta Stone if you will.
