A self organising system

Understanding how software objects on the client side can create clone records and send them to designated meeting places makes it possible to appreciate how a low cost, self organising database can be created through all the users entering their own data.

The server side need not cross link any of the records, the users themselves can create appropriate links by sending duplicate records to different meeting places where appropriate. A simple addition to a clone record can be used to cancel its appearance at a particular meeting place thus eliminating the need for any server side house keeping duties. Alterations to records can also be arranged by the users themselves: simply by modifying their own clone record and sending it off to replace the previous record. Thus no updating need be carried out on the server side.

The only creative work required on the server side is in deciding upon the initial questions that are used by the clone making objects (these correspond to the initial categories decided upon when creating the people space). It is this seed that starts off the process of self organisation and is the initial input provided by the entrepreneur.
