ICUE
My WORDS
IN A FRAGILE WORLD
Fragmented Attentions
Todays social media is well known to create
distraction s and a fleeting view of world
around us. It does Not encourage creativity
nor foster problem solving spirits
ISOLATION ?
What
do we do
to find
our
own
standing ?
To Be Creative
We
Need to Absorb information
+
Direct Our Mind
+
Immerse into reality
in a way we want , really
ISOLATION
IS Not
Our Answer
Creativity Joins
dots to create the Ah ahh!
ICUE
IS
For
CREATIVITY
PROBLEM SOLVING
SIMULATION
&
INSIGHTS
ICUE
JOINS THE DOTS
IN
YOUR EXPERIENCES
& CREATE!
CUES ON THE STAGE
If you ever performed on stage
most likely you have used the
prompter's help
Those are the Cue for you to Act!
your experience is the prompter that is always there!
CUES ALLOWS US TO BE OURSELVES
what to cook ?
what to wear ?
How to solve a geometry problem ?
How to face some one with an attitude?
So how we can help our selves to find the
right Cues at the
right context?
We can View A CUE AS...
A Significant Word or Name for
A Collection of a handful of words
where each such word in turn
can be a Cue itself
A Cue comes to our short term memory
for us to act at the right context
almost like a magic!
ICue
IS AN APPLICATION
on your mobile or the web
following The legends Of The CUEY !
ICUE helps you to be creative and ready
to solve problems in your life
by acting on words and dots , that
act as Cues to you and
giving you a control to manage
what you remember in a new way through the Cues
Little CueY
MEET LITTLE BUSY CUEY
who has an awaesome
legend
inside the brain!
LEGEND OF THE CUEY
***
CUE IS FOr
Capturing
Attention
through individual words
that are fully addressable by 'dot joints'
All other units of Attention like book ,web pages, sections, etc
are all good for consuming information or office work but not very good for
individual creative or problem solving moments !
is your own dynamic 'dictionary' at
several levels or Dots (.)
Capture words for you dinner party,
for your research project, or for keeping yourself healthy
you create contexts or scopes as words
and then you put words in different contexts,
the same word 'fish' e.g. can appear in all three scopes above
like this:
samsdinner.main.fish
projectx.nerves.fish
myHealth.friday.fish
So What is the Magic
That Cuey
BRINGS?
They Are :
SWITCH: Switch data structure between hierarchy and sequence with
CAPD : Context Aware Personal Dictionary;
&
THRUST: The cloud database server at the back end
THE Switch Principle
A SMALL PRINCIPLE
CUEY IS BUILT ON:
e.g . 'a.b'
can be interpreted as
either 'b' belongs to 'a' to define
a Containment / Scope / Context
or can also be 'b' is next to 'a'
and can define a Flow.
THE THURST
CUEY
gets the
power of
Databases in the cloud
on server
where
your personal
context aware
dictionary can grow
with you for your entire
LIFE.
CLueY helping
John'S Creativity
John is writing a book , also John is
building a home.
he gets ideas every now and then almost out of the blue; also less frequently he gets some
messages about soccer tactics from his son Peter.
some times he is in the shopping center
and some times he is having a drink when
the idea or a message arrives; Cuey helps to keep john ideas and messages ,
so at the time of use john can get those words quickly
through two concepts:
Scope & Flow
CUEY HELPS PETER THE SOCCEROo
Peter is John's son who has recently started
experimenting with a few soccer strategies
and once in a while sends John some of the
new tricks he discovers !
Cuey knows 4-3-3 is one of the favorite
words in the soccer cue for Peter
and that john is a name
in Peter's 'contact' Cue.
WORDS
in our
MIND
ARE TANGLED
in
CUE
with words
that belong to other
Cue
kind of tangle:
CUYE HELPS BY organizing the
TANGLED TREE OF WORDS.
CUEY NAVIGATES
OUR
TANGLED
MIND
USING : SCOPE & FLOW
SCOPE or Context
Are boundary within which
you place a word e.g.
John might think about writing
about Nasa Space Agency in chapter 5
a note about a diaster
John creates a word as below
Nasa.chapter5.disaster
and sets up a one line note quickly about the details
with the word
Nasa.chapter5.disaster.detail
and reminds himself of kitchen blue door work by
myhome.kitechen.door.fix
FLOW
allows us to order
our experiences amidst
apparent chaos.
Cuey uses flow to bring about
communication and
story progression.
Peter has described a strategy of 4-3-3
and wants to send john the strategy description; the cues:
soccer.strategy.4-3-3.peter.detail
&
soccer.strategy.4-3-3.detail
does the job using a flow.
CUES FOR Communicating
IN CONTEXT !
In a busy world
we want to communicate in context.
CUEY helps to live in your context.
Cuey keeps the personal context
for creating, problem solving and allows
to map and send those to the words in
another person's context
for collaboration.
CUES FOR PLANNING & SIMULATION
Cuey uses the Switch principle
To use Time as a Scope or as a Flow.
Using Time as a Scope allows Cuey to plan.
Using Time as a Flow allows Cuey to simulate future or past.
John plans Peter's birthday as :
PeteBDay.morning.football
PeteBDay.morning.grandpa
PeteBDay.noon.boatride
PeteBDay.afternoon.party etc
CUEY's 5 POINT TOUCH
the four arrows
& the belly
gives the controls
to navigate and switch
through Scopes and Flows
with ease
In Software Development
The CUE approach
opens
new way to do
software design
through use of context aware
words by designers and coders
who use them as variables inside program.
FOR DESIGNERS, [beyond software!]:
it opens the possibility to
talk to consumers and users
at a personal experience level.
ICUE IS NOT GOOGLE'S KNOWLEDGE ENGINE
While Google search engine or knowledge
engines are extremely useful tools
they are not for searching through your own mind,
thought process ,
problem solving approaches
and most importantly your emotions.
CUEY does that
by allowing you to create the connections.
THE Brain
Our magic in Life
Begins with the Brain
LETS GROW WITH
OUR PERSONAL JOURNEY
BY ENCOURAGING OUR
BRAIN TO KEEP UP THE CONNECTIONS
IN OUR OWN EXPERIENCES
Challenge: OUR CHALLENGE
IS TO BE AWARE OF LIMI TATIONS OF
THE ESTABLISHED
WAY OF USING TECHNOLOGY
& COMMUNICATION
THAT IS ROOTED IN THE
LIMITED PAST CONCEPTS
OF CORPORATE SUCCESS
AND OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY.
PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY, CREATIVITY,
PROBLEM SOLVING MOTIVATIONS
ARE REALLY ONLY PERSONAL !
PLEASE GIVE CUEY A CHANCE .
THE BOOK
Part of this project is
writing a book as a reference point
about how to write software like
a story where the story flows naturally
from designers mind to developers,
operators and ultimately to the users.
Where requirements are simply Cues for future and
simulation comes along with it naturally.
This is possible by using CUES instead of traditional
objects used in making software. This is the result of
my personal research over the last 4 years.
All codes in the project will be available through
THIS BOOK.
I am asking for your support for a cause
which I have believed in
fora long time. If the project takes off ,
students all over the world
will have an alternative way to study and keep the
connections with their own observations
for their life time there by enhancing confidence in themselves. Soft wares will no more be the pieces of code
that just executes. They will be the code that connects words and personal expressions and emotions.
Designers will have a platform to talk to their users
about specific considerations that went into a little piece of design. Authors and readers can rediscover subtle connections they miss every now and then.
Please Participate
If any of the causes in this project is something
near to your heart, as it is for me,
please let it become a successful project by backing
this project which ever way you can.
Without this project a lot of enthusiasm and years of
relentless thinking and investigations by lot of us
will go no where.
YOUR SUPPORT IS URGENTLY NEEDED!
