Minute 2

In writing to the incoming President of Shady Side Academy, Bartley Griffith, and re MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch, seeks to not only explore giving at talk to students at Shady Side  (high school in Pittsburgh, PA) but also to develop, in conversation with SSA, the College at WUaS for Shady Side Academy graduates (as well as for the Fettes College graduates, a high school in Scotland) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - with students studying from their own homes. 


WUaS will seek to offer to volunteer on the Shady Side Academy BOV (Board of Visitors' committee) or similar, and will further explore developing these collaborations, and to explore collaborating with Shady Side in developing WUaS's I.B. high schools online. 


  

Minute 3

World Univ & Sch seeks to develop first both a California Law Sch at WUaS, and an Oregon Law School at WUaS and with time in + 48 more states for ACCESSIBILITY to Law,  plus, to begin, an Iran Law School at World Univ & Sch + approximately 205 further online Law Schools in countries' languages beginning with this template - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School and with academic Law Presses in these languages - @WUaSPress See, especially: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/saffron-how-to-begin-iran-law-school-at.html?m=0 ~
(https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1174056215447400448)


In California, WUaS will explore licensing with https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Law-School-Regulation/Law-Schools like the following "Registered unaccredited distance learning law schools in California" ... 

"The following institutions are currently registered by the State Bar's Committee of Bar Examiners as unaccredited distance-learning law schools. A distance-learning law school is a law school that conducts instruction and provides interactive classes principally by technological means. A distance-learning law school must require at least 864 hours of preparation and study per year for four years."

Minute 4
WUaS planning for 7.5 billion living people, each a Wikidata Q item,  World Univ & Sch which is already in Wikidata is seeking to code for all people on the planet 3 initial reasons, to begin. 


With regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item at - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
 - WUaS seeks ... 
i) registering / matriculating students for free highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW-centric (in its 5 languages) universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages (plus wiki schools for all extinct languages as well), where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages

 ii) facilitating 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.

 iii) exploring facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) ... to all 7.5 billion people 

So, 

i) registering / matriculating students for free highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW-centric (in its 5 languages) universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages (plus wiki schools for all extinct languages as well), where Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikibase is in ~300 languages


Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric undergraduates colleges (thinking Oxbridge / MIT too) -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School

and then Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees.




Minute 5

Again, with regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
 - WUaS seeks to
ii) facilitate 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.


Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric Medical Schools in countries' official languages - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with degrees and graduates -

and ~200 online teaching hospitals -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital
These 'avatar bot electronic medical records' would serve medical doctors, tele-robotic medical surgeons (MDs) including, for example, for billing in medical systems), and medical scientific researchers, as well as patients and end users for medical information arbitrage. Think Google / Alphabet, Stanford / Duke University's Project Baseline into avatar bots, with Kaiser Permanente patient medical records (and even re DrWeil.com, PubMed, WebMD and NIH, including especially Google Search for researching one's own, or a friend's, medical conditions).


Minute 6

And again, with regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University

 - WUaS seeks to 
iii) facilitate a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) ... again coding-wise planning for all 7.5 billion people

See, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/lake-mashu-japan-wikidata-googles-stake.html




Minute 7 

Information technologies, and robotics ... 


In partly a Google-centric coding environment, WUaS is seeking for the above to emerge for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q item, - as well as in a single realistic virtual earth for online WUaS Medical Schools, teaching hospitals, online tele-robotics surgery, and especially for information technology management developments, and 

A) Re Google's Quantum Supremacy - https://news.bitcoin.com/what-googles-quantum-breakthrough-means-for-blockchain-cryptography/ - which seems to be an advantage here with regards to Google's financial stake in Wikidata, as does potentially planning for similar UBI experiments, brainstorming-wise, with a new CryptoCurrency called Pi, created by some Stanford Ph.D.s, see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ... Google's and Stanford's collaborations run deep knowledge-wise (which is are networks WUaS seeks to collaborate in far-reaching ways further with as well) ... and with regard to building up modular-wise to 7.5 billion for Universal Basic Income experiments also to distribute a SINGLE cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks ... to alleviate poverty for one.


B)  With regards to a realistic virtual earth for management, see:

A #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery re @WorldUnivAndSch online Med Schs https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School & teaching /Hospital s #RealisticVirtualEarthForManagement & MIT OCW's Sloan School of Management https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management 2 wings for flying> https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html for #ActualVirtual ~

- https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1174496886717157376 -


C)
In developing a realistic virtual earth for management, WUaS is seeking to collaborate with HOSPITALS in many countries re digitizing medicine, and hospital procedures. 

For example, WUaS would seek collaboration with
Other hospitals in the University of California medical system, such as UCSF, beyond Stanford's 2 hospitals, as well as with the Kaiser Permanente system in many US states, for online capabilities.
D)
In recent communication with Alex MacDonald, NASA Administrator, whom I met through a MIT Media Lab panel - 
MLTalks—To the Moon to Stay | From the Moon with Love (Thursday July 25, 2019)
https://www.media.mit.edu/events/from-the-moon-with-love/ - 
WUaS is exploring, brainstorming-wise, a realistic virtual universe, for actual-virtual, physical-digital STEM research and at the cellular and atomic levels too, as well as actual-virtual, physical-digital Lego Robotics (thinking Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, and with avatar bots) and with developments in Brick Street View in Google Street View for Lego Robotics (see E below too).
WUaS is also in communication NASA AMES administrator, Rupak Biswas - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/newfoundland-seascape-stanford-talk-hpc.html (whom I met at Stanford) ... and to address such questions as follows: 


Where will a hypothetical quadrant A in universe go on which #supercomputer is 1 Question I have with regard to WUaS facilitating #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualUniverse & for VIRTUAL Lego Robotics #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ? https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/newfoundland-seascape-stanford-talk-hpc.html ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175919311388459008
E) 
Lego Robotics and a realistic virtual earth / realistic virtual universe for the NASA voyage to Mars? 


Please keep in mind World University and School's plans to develop a realistic virtual universe for everything - at the cellular and atomic levels too - am thinking Google Street View with time slider (13.8 billion years of atoms is big data!) and for actual-virtual, physical-digital research, i.e. re the potential Mars voyage in the 2030s. And could we also send parallel Lego Robots to Mars in Brick Street View which is an overlay / hack on Google Street View from around 2014?

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175150746230116354


a #RealisticVirtualUniverse for everything at cell & atom levels too i.e. re the potential Mars voyage in the 2030s? And could we also send parallel #LegoRobots to Mars in Brick StreetView+ which is an hack on Google StreetView from abt 2014? #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175151297814650880

Re Lego Robotics, am thinking Lego WeDo 2.0, Mindstorms EV3 and soon Lego SpikePrime for STEAM.



F)
Robotics from home at WUaS? (and eventually for undergraduate engineering degrees at  best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare WUAS, both actually-virtually, physically-digitally):


Enjoy making #Robots? With successful rollout of #Scratch 3.0 drag & drop programming language - with languages! - from MIT Media Lab this year, you can make Lego WeDo 2.0 Robots wI FREE Scratch from HOME https://youtu.be/XXQmcl9AK8s & https://youtu.be/BILWxHBYeOA > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics ~

Minute 8 
WUaS I.T. developments re strategy and Wikidata

World Univ & Sch is in communication with Wikidata / Wikibase about the following developments, in both Wikidata AND DBPedia with Linked Open Data, re the above: 

 Re Wikidata strategy - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Strategy/2019 - and "[Wikidata] Google's stake in Wikidata and Wikipedia," I wonder what role Google Tensor Flow, "an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning" (https://www.tensorflow.org/) is playing in these discussions? And especially in planning for medicine in a variety of ways and in a variety of languages, as well as genetics, in both Wikidata and DBPedia? (And since I can't curiously post to Wikidata email list, or to Wikimedia/Wikipedia sites - I'm emailing you all here). Google Tensor Flow could be significant to both 'strategy papers' as well as 'language' questions. (See, too, my comments re these strategy questions in "[Wikidata] Google's stake in Wikidata and Wikipedia" esp. re planning for 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item, and in the 3 ways WUaS is planning for initially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/lake-mashu-japan-wikidata-googles-stake.html).




Minute 9 

World Univ & Sch seeks too, like Harvard President Derek Bok here, to address undergraduate education meeting challenges, and in ~200 countries' WUaS colleges in their main / official languages:


Derek Bok

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1175160653822054400




Minute 10 

World University and School has an inquiry in to the Stanford faculty senate with regard to and ethics' investigation, and has not yet heard back anything in some months. 




Minute 11

How is World University and School (NtF) Quaker?
World Univ & Sch is Quaker-informed in these ways -
 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/grand-canyon-how-is-world-univ-sch.html?m=0 - and re financial fiduciary responsibilities too.




Minute 12 

WUaS Corporation 


the WUaS Press / WUaS Corporation seeks to further delineate itself from World University and School, as 2 separate legal entities, brainstorming-wise, as a single cryptocurrency - such as "Mine Pi" or the 'Pi' digital currency, or the Pi Network - further emerges in some number of ~200 countries and their official languages. See - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ...

How will a potential single digital currency emerge on both wings of WUaS? And in the mean time, WUaS will focus on the US dollar in developing both wings, as an initial delineation. 






Sincerely, 
Scott
