1.1.3. Subscribing Viewpoint

What visitors and subscribers find under the Light-Dome, is a huge Square with a large fountain in the center, surrounded by a pool of crystal clear water, as well as by 4 statues each standing on its pedestal.

The water coming out of the Fountain glows and rises high in the sky where it seems to melt with the light from the sky, through the transparent and luminous Dome.

On the pedestal under each Statue, inscriptions read, respectively: Simplicity, Regularity, Symmetry, and Hierarchy. Each pedestal also has a door that leads to a stairway down to the Crypts, or underground, of Cosmos Square.

Around the central Square there are 4 large Temples, each with multiple floors, each touching and adjacent to two other Temples, and each having a name above its front porch. They respectively read Music, Motion, Design, and Media.

The whole Square, with the Temples, is sitting on four adjacent square land areas and each Temple sits halfway on two lands.

The Crypts, or undergrounds, extend under the four lands, the Square, and the Temples, multiple floors deep, with halls and rooms.

Each floor in the Temples is also organized in halls and rooms of varying sizes. Each Temple also provides direct access to the Crypts under it.

While the central Square is a place for gathering and for public events and presentations, the halls and rooms in the Temples and in all the Crypts provide interactive, animated, modeled knowledge resources that subscribers can discover and experience.

As users (subscribers) experience modeled resources, depending on context, triggers, and timing, they may at times be visited by a Statue instance avatar/AI-Bot which can guide them and help them get the maximum knowledge from their experience. Each Statue has its own perspective on the knowledge, and it is not uncommon that more than one can visit the same subscriber(s) on the same modeled resource, typically at different times (context, triggers).

The available modeled knowledge resources cover all knowledge, including all sciences, from pure logic, to pure science, to natural, to human sciences, as well as all activities, communications, arts, concepts, etc.

One key aspect that subscribers soon learn is that all the knowledge in Cosmos Square is geo-mapped in 3D In other words, subscribers can navigate knowledge in 3D, intuitively, once they understand the structure of the natural navigation axes (Basic, Simple, Topic).

Knowledge reference is also available through traditional processes including: menu, index, TOC, and search.

In addition to the Satue interventions, guidance is provided through "guru" human-driven avatars, as well as through AI-Bots, each typically strategically located.
