Connection Machine Hyperspace Navigation

Relational database is the predominant way in which data is stored currently. The relational database space is searched by executing the SQL statements. The foreign key keeps relationships across different spaces. Sequential Programs transform data from input to output by getting data in result sets after executing SQL statements.

MasterKube Connection Machine is an interaction machine. MasterKube does not work on data manipulation, but works on Interaction or access/signal manipulation. I.e MasterKube creates signals by using the TELL or ASK operator. Other operator’s a.k.a Configuration operators are used to manipulate when these signals can be observed. Data is accessed by interacting with these interactions after navigating to it.

These signals are available as REST endpoints, and hence can be directly accessed by external systems. Each signal/connection can point to other signals. This interaction pointers, is how relationships are maintained (similar to Foreign Key) between entities. External systems can navigate this access space to explore data. The different ways space can be navigated are given below.
