KOI-net represents an emerging paradigm in decentralized knowledge organization. By building from foundational communication standards to sophisticated governance frameworks, KOI-net aims to support self-organizing, interoperable knowledge systems. Project Interlay challenges conventional software development paradigms, advocating for a shift from rigid, app-based systems to more fluid, user-configurable environments.
This recording represents an in-progress synthesis of a series of BlockScience research initiatives, reflecting our intention to 'work in public' and share internal discussions and findings with a wider community audience. In this video, BlockScience Research Engineer Luke Miller provides an overview of the KOI Network Protocol (KOI-net), highlighting the role of nodes in knowledge exchange, the flexibility of layering protocols, and the systems interoperability and adaptability based on different use cases and network needs. Senior Research Engineer Orion Reed also shares research and development of Project Interlay, demonstrating adaptive interfaces, spatial canvas tooling, the scoped propagators programming model, and their application to KOI-net.
