We approach a planet. What we would want to know is: The systems of the planet- the atmospheres: gaseous, and liquid; the crust, how they interact, the biochemistry of the planet, how the biosphere maintains these systems. The products of the planets living biosphere- what forms of life here? How do they work and interact? If there is a dominator species, it's culture. The vast portion of our attention and energy goes to this third area- what we might call intrahuman interests. The sources of this information are legion. The first two, which are meta-human interests, are where we can make some progress. Proposal: The web is the infant medium of a future hyperknowledge system. Numerous resources in biodiversity, biology, earth systems, earth imaging, atmosphere and oceanographics, etc. are coming on line as I write this. ( see GaiaGates elsewhere in this site) I propose imagining an attractor: these resources converging over time to produce a hyperweb of graphical information, both for earth systems, and a species databank. More than just a listing, I imagine a web to which a reserarcher in the Costa Rican canopy might log in to from his laptop over cellular/satellite relay, and retrieve information as text, video, or scientific visualisations, communicate, and to which he could upload his research. It would use future broadband imaging potential to enrich information streams in both directions. This organ would permit a tight cybernetic loop between knowledge acquisition and knowledge use. This may have evolutionary repercussions for our species. Creating the image of earth and her systems in hyperlinked knowledge space will enable us to grasp things about the whole and deal properly with them. Such a self growing visual knowledge web of earth and the biosphere is going to empower us to better repair the damage and restore the rich balance of nature on our planet. Earth restoration teams might transmit info back and forth re local land forms and suitable first generation regrowth for a certain soil and climate. The possibilities are endless. This 'Earth web' would receive the data streams from the imaging and sensing technologies circling the panet, also the imaging output of supercomputer scientific visualisation. It would be a repository for an exponentially growing stream of knowledge from deeper investigation of earth's species of life. Particularly a last preserve for whatever we can learn about doomed species and systems before they disappear. Its essential nature is about the larger frame of reference (the meta-human or trans-human arena of knowledge). Our true context. It would open up as an information hub on your computer/communicator.
