Unity+ Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 The app idea goes off the lines of what a user Strange had described: More like a multidimensional, tree/graph-structured, interactive, multi-user whiteboard. I like the idea of being able to unfold/reveal various different explorations/derivations/discussions. As these derivations and discussions might go off in multiple directions, maybe some sort of collaborative "mind mapping" tools is what is needed? Or, at least, you could use some of the concepts as a starting point and then add the math capability on top. Basically, the ideas there are two sections: The Official Mathematical section and the Unofficial mathematical section. In the Official Mathematical section, people can create whiteboard nodes, modify them, and have discussions about is commonly accepted in the mathematical community IF THEY ARE A CERTAIN RANK. In the Unofficial Mathematics section, users who are lower ranks can create their own whiteboard nodes, modify them, and discuss them related to mathematical concepts that they have in mind and discuss them. Here is how the Whiteboard node system works: When users create whiteboard nodes, they will have the title of the concept(their concept maybe) and users can create whiteboard nodes that connect to the original one. Along with creating concepts, there will be a tag system that connects the concept to a previous concept that allows that concept to exist. For example, if a person defines a set of axioms for their concept, those tags will link to the axioms being discussed. After a while, if users find a connection between to whiteboard nodes that connects the two concepts, those two concepts will be voted on to see if they truly connect. If the votes reach a certain level, those two concepts are joined together. The same can happen in the Official Mathematical section, but with a bit more scrutiny. Also, things that are in the Unofficial Mathematical section can become a part of the Official section if a certain process is undertaken(still developing this process). Here are some screenshots I have so far of its design: The actual white board stuff isn't set up, but the user stuff is. So, is anyone interested in this?
Unity+ Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 I already see more down votes than up votes. Is there a reason why you wouldn't take interest in the idea?
