Dear Sid / Pin, Ma/Jane, Peter (Norvig), Elizabeth (Warren), Ann (Brown DVM, and cousin in NE Oregon) & Ed (Smyth MD), Ed (Pitt....) and Kimba (in Berkeley), and Byron in Moraga (near Canyon 94516),

Greetings.

Thanks, Kimba, for helping to focus my writing "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" with Gemini AI editing - yesterday in the Berkeley Claremont public library. Here's my view of what the internet is -

"What Is the Internet?

Given its unique history, the Internet is not defined by its physical hardware, such as telephone lines or computers. Architecturally, it is essentially software—specifically, the non-material protocols of information that govern its operation. This architecture is fundamentally organized to be open at two critical levels:

Open Protocols: The core routing system, defined by TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) from 1973–1978, was made publicly accessible.

Distributed Computing: The network operates on the principle of distributive computing, meaning the power of processing and control is dispersed throughout the entire system rather than residing in any central point.

This dual openness is central to the Internet's resilience and capacity for growth." (p. 32 currently);

and search on 'nuclear' too regarding decentralized internet thinking early, in the 1950s and 1960s, in its development (pages 27-28).

As I said, World University and School, from its beginning in 2006-2007, is like Wikipedia (currently in about 342 active languages) and seeking to build on MIT OCW in 7 languages currently.

And in writing the second part of this book - "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJg2icBhxEj7eSiSoiN2mgusX4PK1cQfZRFPRdw5znI/edit?usp=sharing - I'm interested in developing in my book further, and as a global university online, the

12 main areas at World University and School WUaS, and both for free-to-students' accrediting WUaS online degrees and as wiki schools:

(AND in coming into conversation with Gemini regarding 'harvesting' my daily blog since 2008 for some of this, I don't get what I'm seeking as response:

Gemini, in what ways could you best "harvest" World Univ & Sch's and my blogs - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university AND - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - to help draft the next paragraphs and chapters in "Society, Information Technology, and the Global University" upcoming book to be published by the Academic Press at WUaS, in terms of these 12 main areas - Languages, ...

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/11/cistus-monspeliensis.html) ...

Further, and regarding what we talked about, Kimba,

World University and School became a nonprofit 501 c 3 legal entity in 2010, with a paralel state of CA non profit legal entity (and see both tax ID numbers here at bottom http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), AND in 2017, WUaS became a parallel 3rd legal entity, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California (and see tax id at bottom here too - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html). Both of these wings have amazing potential synergies between them, planned in all 200 countries (per the Olympics) and in all 7159 known living languages.

Further, WUaS got into a somewhat unstructured #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, (when I was in asylum in Pittsburgh about 3 years ago), and after I attended a session for this in Google Headquarters in Bakery Square there. (And with you being from Pittsburgh, Kimba, have you visited Bakery Square and Google offices there by any chance?)

I'm attending another Google For Education roadmap with Gemini AI, meeting today at noon, after attending one at 8 am on Tuesday December 9th, 2025, and I've inquired further how WUaS could join or interoperate with this Google For Education roadmap process.

With Google for Education being in many schools in US states, and potentially in other countries, could World University and School eventually matriculate high school students who graduate from these schools and via their use of Google For Education? And how?

Questions I asked during and after the session on Tu Dec 9, 2025 -

How best can MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School @WorldUnivAndSch in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program join or interoperate with the Google for Education Roadmap project please? thanks, Scott GK MacLeod (https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/two-medicine-lake-mt-m-12825-and-121525.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university)

2 expanded

How best can MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School @WorldUnivAndSch in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program join the Google for Education Roadmap project, and in developing IB high school or similar diplomas (eg for 16-19 year olds) in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages, as well as for WUaS to develop 200 major online research universities in all 200 countries (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major world class online WUaS university, with Gemini AI) and in all 7159 living languages (and regarding a WUaS Universal Translator - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator), and for free-to-students' online-from-home Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / sim, AA/AS and Master's WUaS degrees, and potentially in a realistic virtual earth for STEM field sites, and a realistic virtual earth for classrooms? And please see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: #WorldUniversityINSchool (updated March 2, 2024) - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 (And see also these related World Univ & Sch TwitterX feeds and re Gemini AI too - What does intelligent mean in 'real time intelligence systems' ?

In real-time intelligence systems, "intelligent" refers to ability of system to perceive, process, reason, learn:

As we talked about further, Kimba,

In WUaS was seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) and to facilitate wiki universal free education, and free WUaS degrees, building on MIT OCW course in 7 languages, in all 200 countries, and possibly in all 7159 known living languages, and to end poverty via distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - what are the next best steps ? And how best to interoperate with the Grow With Google WUaS program and Google For Education with Gemini AI? A Sri Lanka WUaS education model with Pi cryptocurrency UBI experiments to end poverty there, and facilitated free MIT OCW_centric WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / similar, AA / AS, and Master's degrees in the Sinhala language, and out of high schools there? And see Agenda Item 6 here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/11/sawtooth-wilderness-id-m-12125-and.html. How best to develop the WUaS wiki schools for open wiki-teaching and wiki-learning, and community building in the Sinhala language there? And then develop this WUaS education model with Pi cryptocurrency in Vietnam, Nigeria and India (and see agenda item 1a here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/two-medicine-lake-mt-m-12825-and-121525.html)?

Who are the target audiences of this book?

Academic professionals, undergraduates, and graduate students (particularly in other countries and languages, too) and potentially in all 200 countries' main languages, translated into their languages ... eg Tamil and Telugu speakers and young people and students in south India and in all countries?

Could the writing of this part 2 of my book also inform a kind of road map with Google For Education with WUaS with Gemini AI ? ... and in conjunction with the Google for Education Roadmap, which seems both hardware and platform focused? The 2nd meeting of this at noon today 12/11/25.

As an unprogrammed Friendly NtF Quaker leading or calling or inspiration, since the beginning in 2006, WUaS continues to grow and develop with a loosely WUaS Monthly Business Meeting process, now. become a Weekly Business Meeting process ... and see the Agenda items / Minutes here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting

Stanford Law CodeX and Stanford Law Rock Center directors?

And how best to develop a realistic virtual earth further as STEM field sites and classrooms, and even at teh G Cell View, G Molecule View + levels and in thinking in terms of Google Street View with time slider, Google Maps, and TensorFlow AI ... and even for a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForHistory, and a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForArchaeology, #RealsiticVirtualEarthForGenetics, and even a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForAging reversal?

More later, but I invite you to read the first 8 chapters and the beginning of Chapter 9 here - "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJg2icBhxEj7eSiSoiN2mgusX4PK1cQfZRFPRdw5znI/edit?usp=sharing - and I look forward to hearing what you think further. And how best to weave in the above with the beginning of Chapter 9 above too?

Add the above to Gemini AI and seek its editing further?

Best wishes, abolition, regards,

Scott
