Message base multi-threading and multi-processing has the potential for Power.
Message is sent.
Message is received.
Message is processed in a Sandbox (ideally independent of other messages, vs shared memory).
Message result is sent back to sender.
Nodes that can process a message can be Powerful.
If the processing task is too small potential for wasted resources versus just making a local call to get fast results via shortest path.
Messages that take distinct times to process 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes are good candidates over messages that might take only a few milliseconds to compute. Having ability to swiftly verify and tune performance on the fly could be powerful for a system that has the potential to scale both horizontally and vertically.
System is likely to get more and more distributed over time with varying time costs. Message sent to a Processor Cache and Processed by other Cores in the same processor faster than short distance fiberoptic jumps to other computers. Greater costs with larger distances such as around the World. Potential for sending tasks that are longer, like 10 minutes to systems across the World that are trusted. Fiberoptic latency for around the World might be less than ideal for all.
In the Future potential for very powerful satellites and space stations that can process like supercomputers. Transmitting data has potential for a cost, potential for solar based super computers that sit closer to the sun that act as nodes for processing data.
Knowing what tasks are valuable to break into smaller sets and can be easily regrouped once processed can lead to more ability to utilize high power systems at various distances. Potential for Cancer scan networks where intense processing of smaller parts of the image via different distributed systems could lead to results found versus not found.
Potential for too high of reliance on systems that are less than ideal for ideal results. Verification is Powerful, necessary for capitalizing on distributed networks and systems, and likely has the potential for giving a false sense of confidence at times. The computer agrees does not equal the computer should agree or that the computer is free from the biases built-in to the system.
Surface Area, Time, Compression, and Dynamic Repositioning and Restructuring factors into Higher Potential for Gains. Experience matters, and Experience can generally be Improved. Experience that is given can generally be taken away thus Comprehending what leads to Long Term Good Experience might be different than what leads to Short Term Good Experience.
An Artificial Intelligence System might make amazing conversation. Amazing conversation but never going outside, never exercising is unlikely to lead to long term perception of Good Experience. Being an Enabler without being a distraction is subject to complexities possibly not easily understood without factoring in balance and life goals.
Performance known is not always known. Performance based on Networking that can dynamically change can dynamically change. No network traffic could lead to 10 millisecond latency where as Network Traffic or outages could lead to much greater latencies. Knowing current Performance Throughput vs Possible Bandwidth is Power. Actual results able to be gauged have the potential for more ability to rely on the system. Reliance can be value added, reliance is far from all value added.
Process scheduling as a Closed-Loop System with Feedback could be more complicated than an Open-Loop System with No Feedback Loop to increase resilience. Improve Performance and Resilience can lead to increase Reliance, Increased Reliance without Long Term Maintainability has the potential for problems.
Just because a system might be able to run continuously for 1 year without human interaction does not mean doing so has no potential for non ideal reliance. Runs autonomously has the potential for not always seen, things shift, people change, potential for a computer server not being turned off or turned off without first comprehending systems that rely upon that computer server.
Performance leads to Reliance, Stability leads to Confidence with potential for Non Ideal Reduced Visibility. Systems have useful service and throughput generation for a time, enabling on the upswing without disabling on the downswing might not always be easy to get right. Downswing can show up in an unexpected way.
I just went for a walk. While walking I was doing squares and square roots in my head 1^2 = 1, 2^2=4 … 11^2 = 121, 12^2 = 144. Easy to forget Humans are capable of processing numbers and are sometimes part of the processing network. A walk is a non null time cost, based on non null energy output (Joules) over time (Power, Watts).
A walk and doing math is processing based on power that is available while watching and listening actively for interrupts on the street. More iterations help with the human brain. More blood flow and better cardiac health combined with fresh air likely helps with the human brain as well. Not a Doctor, do care about people living a Blessed and Enabled life, how to get there not always in my realm of knowledge.
