Well, I told you that ALPES, the “Experimental Setup of the ALP” is the only planned content of the S&P-ARK project, currently.
We want to perform experiments with an “Application Layer Protocol (ALP)” for the Web3D Network Sensor.
Therefore we plan to implement an “Experimental Login Server Application (ELSA)”.
Last weekend I found the time to draw a little drawing about the architecture of ELSA and I added it to the WIKI page “ELSA” of the S&P-ARK WIKI: https://github.com/christoph-v/spark/wiki/ELSA
Here the picture as a shortcut (without explanation):
Have a nice week

P.S.: in case of any questions, comments, improvement opportunities and so on, please feel free to add a comment. Your e-mail address will never be published.
Last weekend, I felt free to rename the S&P-ARK project.
Now I am calling it DIGITS/S&P-ARK/ALPES.
This long name will make it clear, that
*) ALPES = Application Layer Protocol, Experimental Setup
Probably, we will call the project by its short name, ALPES, in the future.
Nevertheless, we will continue to use the S&P-ARK repository: https://github.com/christoph-v/spark, where we also felt free to “define” our vision for reference.
Have a nice week,
Yours Christoph
Dear all,
At my latest posting, I told you that I had closed the work on the narration “The third child” by 2022-04-15.
Today, 2022-05-14, I can tell you: I have also updated the English translation of the narration for version 1.7 (mostly, I have removed the unnecessary “frame story” and updated the version number).
Narration The Third Child (ttc_v1.7_20220514.pdf)
German version: Das dritte Kind (Drehbuchseite)
This makes me free to focus on the S&P-ARK project.
Yours,
Christoph
This time I have got two chunks of information for you.
I told you that I planned to finish version 1.7 of the narrative “The third child” by 2022, with the posting DIGITS#17 (https://areasharpa.blog/2020/09/03/digits17-the-true-enemy/)
Well, it has not really been finished, but all scenes of the script have been defined and at least been explained by two or three paragraphs of text each:

The S&P-ARK project has been started.

for the “Establishment (Errichtung)” of “The Society”.
Well, I have prepared the statutes (https://areasharpa.blog/2022/02/23/statutes-for-the-society/) and I have asked two friends, whether they would like to support “The Society” as chairman, secretary or cashier.
However, currently there is not enough interest.
Have a nice week,
Yours Christoph
Dear all,
In my latest posting (see https://areasharpa.blog/2022/01/09/the-society/) I told you that my co-founders and me, we need still to agree on the statutes of “The Society”, in order to achieve the “Establishment (Errichtung)”, according to Austrian laws.
Now. I have prepared version 0.7 of the statutes, just to have a base for discussion with my co-founders.
Additionally, I felt free to use Google Translate for an (admittedly poor) translation:
The vision of “The Society” (English language) can be found at https://lc-soc-lc.at/addendum.htm, as you know.
Have a nice week,
Yours Christoph
We – my wife, a few friends and me – are currently discussing internally a lot about the idea of the “Society for Lifelong Collaborating” (see also the public discussion at https://areasharpa.blog/2021/11/26/collaboration-tools-break-until-spring-new-club/ and the imprint at https://lc-soc-lc.at/addendum.htm).
I revealed my “Hidden Agenda” (I think, everybody knows it 😉 ) to them, at the same instance insisting that “The Society” will be a peaceful, scientific association for the good of all.
According to Austrian laws, the founding of an association happens in two phases:
First, there’s the Establishment (“Errichtung”) of the association.
The establishment is achieved, when the founders agree upon the rules (“Statuten”).
Second, there is the Emergence (“Entstehung”) of the association.
The emergence happens 4 (or 6) weeks, after the establishment has been announced to Austrian administration by the founders, if the administration does not reject the foundation of the association.
I am currently preparing the rules and looking for co-founders.
Have a nice week
Yours Christoph
These days we had guests, and besides other things we came to discuss about Zuckerberg’s Metaverse.
Well, first we have to admit, there will not be “the” Metaverse, but there will be many metaverses, one from Zuckerberg, others from e.g. Roblox, Nintendo or Match.
This multitudiny of metaverses has seriously torn down our dreams about “the metaverse” as another iteration of “the” Internet.
But what is the difference to – e.g. – Second Life, which was not a great break through several years ago?
Well, you would like to say, the difference is, we have got crypto currencies nowadays, based on the blockchain.
OK, nearly every game has got a game internal currency, nowadays, my son interfered. The improvement is just the currency is “qualitatively better”, when employing the blockchain.
So, I would like to say: the conditio sine qua non is the ability to change the crypto-currency back to real currency, isn’t it?
Idk.
But, OK, if I like to become shareholder of a business, my first question would be: “WHAT are they doing?”. The answer to the WHAT question gives me an idea about the HOW question: How will they perform in future?
So, WHAT is the metaverse doing?
Short and sweet: they are telling stories. OK, it’s interactive stories, collaborative stories, let’s say modern stories, but it’s still stories, not more and not less.
It’s a modern marketing instrument.
But WHAT do YOU sell?
Well, that’s your problem, isn’t it.

Hi all,
We are discussing the added value of explicitly SYNCing multiuser scenes HERE:
http://web3d.org/pipermail/x3d-public_web3d.org/2021-December/016331.html
I am feeling free to add a picture here, to explain what we are talking about:
A) Standalone scene
B) VR multiuser scene, explicitly SYNC’d
C1) MR multiuser scene, explicitly SYNC’d (derived from B)
C2) MR multiuser scene, implicitly SYNC’d (via reality)
All the best
Christoph
I am currently having a break with my X3D hobbies, at least until spring ’22.
However, I already have some plans about how it COULD continue afterwards.
So I am just repeating my question kindly:
Please tell us your opinion about a new “Society for Lifelong Collaborating” (to be founded earliest in spring 2022), if possible, before Christmas.
Vision of “The Society” (https://lc-soc-lc.at/addendum.htm)
Looking forward to a nice answer
Yours
Christoph
