Michael, Did you generate this graphic? What is the source?

You can’t build a real-life functioning ecosystem piecemeal: piecemeal standards, piecemeal standards development organizations (SDO) (how many are involved today? W3C, DIF, LF, IETF, Web 7.0, …), piecemeal private implementations, etc. > > > > NOTE: A couple years ago, I offered Web 7.0 as an integrated platform to DIF and the parochial response was: *Web 7.0 overlaps too much with what we’re doing already*. Too bad. That was an opportunity missed. Hence, I formed the Web 7.0 Foundation to act as the SDO for Web 7.0 (yes, anyone can create an SDO). Related, as I’ve commented elsewhere, CCG/W3C has no overarching mission/Northstar to provide any overall, useful direction/guidance to for integration across its WGs. The result: piecemealers creating piecemeal pieces. > > > > SPECIAL NOTE: With Web 7.0 DIDLibOS, no developer will need to know anything about decentralized technologies to build a solution. They define Message Types (DID + semantics) and provide a LOBE (Loadable Object Brain Extension) (aka PowerShell module) that implements the Task logic for the message type within the context of a particular Capability. LOBEs can be scripted (PowerShell) or coded in any .NET language. > > > > This enables the incremental scriptable development of the platform’s capabilities to support the deployment of arbitrarily complex, arbitrarily large, network-native, DID-native solutions. The name for one of these solutions is: a Neuroplex. You don’t build agents. You don’t build apps. You didn’t build services. You don’t build applications. To start a Neuroplex, you simply send an appropriate message type into the network/graph and watch the magic happen. > > > > PowerShell has grown from a *Windows administration shell* into one of the *most widely used automation platforms in global IT infrastructure*.
