Sharing public libraries

In HOP/BentoBoxDS, the library plays an important role, much like physical libraries have in education over the years, both historically and currently. There are many types of libraries in HOP, but one way to categorize them is by privacy: private and public.

Public libraries contain data types that represent common knowledge, such as language and cues. These cues are essentially data types of language with relationships and associations. Cues are the currency of the mind, relevant for each peer and network-wide.

Private libraries, on the other hand, contain personal data and results. Each peer has a coherence ledger that tracks all network experiments and enables decentralized machine learning.

These public and private libraries can be synced, cloned, or shared with other peers, but only public libraries are open by design. BentoBoxDS provides the tools to visualize and interact with all data in different contexts. The Library menu item offers a way to make the library the main context for all knowledge.
