A CIO’s Dream Come True
The biggest challenges in computing exist because our data resides, and our interactions take place on legacy approaches created when security simply was not a concern
Legacy
Code was written by mathematicians who were more interested in easy access than security.
Connecting
Billions of connected devices and disparate systems with large amounts of middleware.
Services
Despite growth in open source software, complexity increases requiring costly services with lock-in commonplace.
Ubiquity
A revolutionary new approach that shifts the value in computing from code to ideas, reducing the need for coding.
A CIO’s Dream Come True
The biggest challenges in computing exist because our data resides, and our interactions take place on legacy approaches created when security simply was not a concern
The original computer scientists and engineers thought the world would only need a few computers and code was written by mathematicians who were more interested in easy access than secure access.
Now there are billions of connected devices, all running software with inherited benefits and flaws from the legacy of computing. There are potentially multiple looming crises within the global inventory of devices. This is the CIO’s nightmare.
Some large tech companies have repeatedly tried to move developers away from legacy tech and have failed, like Microsoft’s efforts to replace the Win32 API. It simply costs too much effort, time, money, and risk to migrate existing software, tools, chips, etc. to something new.
Until now! With wantware, rapidly try before moving over, quickly and cheaply rebuild existing functionality, and operate in a secure environment where there is transparency [via natural language], while entire classes of defects and vulnerabilities simply do not exist.
Concerned about software getting hacked during updates or new code breaking old code?
Wantware for Software
Redefining Software Security & Reliability
- Wantware is natural language descriptions that are not executable code, which means there’s no code to hack
- Wantware can be symbolic meanings that are not executable code, but are levels of detail that coders rarely provide
- When wantware is provided as code, it is transformed to map to natural language and symbolic meanings, which makes it understandable, predictable and controllable
- The Essence® Agent checks wantware for arithmetic, logic, syntax, resource, code conflicts, parallelization and other errors and will not execute them, eliminating almost all software maintenance costs
The Future of Software Updates
Wantware = Normal
Code ≠ Normal
Software updates with wantware are behavior-transparent, which reduces the chances that attempts to perform malicious acts will go undetected
Updating software with code is opaque-security, letting unauthorized acts occur through concealed means

Why the World Needs Wantware for Better Software Security
Crises in Security
At the root of the most pressing software security crises today sits the problem of the opaqueness of code.

Bringing Software Into the 21st Century
Getting existing and even new applications to fully leverage the latest advances in hardware, such as GPU acceleration, are challenges that are difficult to address without untethering from legacy approaches.
Wantware, powered by Essence®, is the ultimate enabler for moving software into a new era of computing without throwing away the billions of lines of code that have already been written. Turning existing software into wantware offers an unprecedented set of benfits.
It has historically been a difficult proposition to get engineers to learn a new lexicon and organizations to adopt it. There are typically significant costs and risks associated with adopting a new lexicon. We understand that and have taken it into consideration.
With Essence®, engineers don’t have to change their lexicon. Engineers can keep using their current lexicon and we map it into our new one. The advantages of creating wantware versions of existing applications and systems are many. Here is a subset of core capabilities that become available when software becomes wantware.
A Bridge Worth Crossing
[expand title=”Parallel Code Generation“] Wantware unlocks the ability for applications and systems to achieve parallel processing on CPUs and GPUs at unrivaled levels of performance and efficiency in the software industry.[/expand]
[expand title=”Natural Language Dialog“] Turning existing applications and systems into wantware allows them to be modified with natural language dialog in real-time.[/expand]
[expand title=”Visual Programming“] Software converted to wantware becomes as easy to modify as drag-n-drop, but with control that goes well beyond app builders that use code libraries.[/expand]
[expand title=”Real-time Sensory Synchronization“] With wantware, use an automatic-tuning approach to balance sensory-quality (such as visual detail or audio fidelity) with responsiveness to user input and latency of changes.[/expand]
[expand title=”Translatable Data Structures“] Wantware uses Translatable Data Structures to map the same data groups to many different chunks of code as well as the ability to profile and regenerate the actual implementation, its algorithmic units (conventional or AI), and the final machine instructions on the fly.[/expand]
[expand title=”Meaning Based Computing“] Using a semantic periodic chart for computing, wantware provides unprecedented access to the fullness of what computing can do, including AI/Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and any other computing approach.[/expand]
[expand title=”Fully Homomorphic Encryption“] A homomorphic approach is applied to sections of code; they are only decoded in blocks when needed and are never decoded at rest or in transit, making it significantly more challenging to rebuilding the entire puzzle of source code.[/expand]
[expand title=”Platform Agnostic Computing“] Use wantware to access 64 interfaces that cover all possible ways that an Essence® Agent can process source code from developers for any hardware device, service, computing platform (e.g. drivers, APIs, emulators, browser engines, virtual machines, operating systems, media types, network protocols, databases, etc.), data and all inputs[/expand]
[expand title=”The Semantic Web“] We have a system to capture meanings and find similar meaning expressions in other languages, styles of speech or personalization. The system enables semantic search and the ability to understand, tweak, edit, and create on the web without the limitations of learning how to code. Soon, any natural language will do to become a creator, not just a user of the web.[/expand]
Wantware, the Missing Link in Computing
With Essence®, MindAptiv ushers in an entirely new era of software that adapts to the runtime environment, and inputs from developers and users by auto-generating exponentially more powerful code on demand. MindAptiv empowers everyone, not just coders, to understand, tweak, edit, and create machine behaviors with wantware. Over two decades of research and 10 years of dedicated development, have resulted in capabilities that are previously unheard of.
Essence-based apps/Aptivs can run on existing supported platforms, currently Mac OS X, and soon on Windows, Android, iOS and Linux. Once a platform has an Agent, all Aptivs run on that newly supported platform. In the future, Essence® will run without an OS, using Agents measured in kilobytes. Essence® is designed to adaptively optimize the computing resources wherever it runs. As long as there is an Agent and platform-specific code (e.g. APIs, drivers, file support, and other required code), Essence® offers a wide range of unique [patented] advantages over alternative approaches.
A Paradigm Shift
[expand title=”Diversity“] Making it easier for the nearly 8 billion people in the world to become creators, not just users of software[/expand]
[expand title=”Simplicity“] Instead of using programming languages or templates that limit creating software, anyone can understand, tweak, edit and create with words[/expand]
[expand title=”Security“] All chunks of data and code have a Guard, which manages access, trust, security and a means to Synchronize and Coalesce changes reading-the-correct-values-at-the-correct-time[/expand]
[expand title=”Quality“] The ability to generate code eliminates entire classes of errors that coders create[/expand]
[expand title=”Space“] Accelerating performance using Essence offers an unprecedented opportunity to reduce space requirements for IT by as much as 80% for the same performance[/expand]
[expand title=”Time“] Create software in hours, days or weeks that would otherwise take months or years. Modify/tweak software in real-time[/expand]
[expand title=”Energy“] Reduce energy consumed by computing devices by as much as 80%[/expand]
[expand title=”Scalability“] Expanding the ability of more people to quickly understand, tweak, edit and create software offers a new level of scalability beyond any other approach to date[/expand]
[expand title=”Interoperability“] Turn any source code (e.g., APIs, drivers, media formats, emulators, AI algorithms, etc.) into digital equivalents of Lego® Bricks that can be hot-swapped in and out of memory, as needed[/expand]
[expand title=”Maintainability“] The wantware process captures meanings expressed as words or choices from menus/lists for generating code, reducing the need to maintain code[/expand]
[expand title=”Adaptability“] All of the generated code in Essence-based apps is automatically optimized for the computing environment and developer/user wants[/expand]
[expand title=”Agility“] Rapidly and easily achieve High Performance Computing (HPC) in homes, cars, airplanes, schools, cloud, edge, space and where the most data intensive business and scientific applications reside [at exascale and quantum][/expand]
