Upgrading the Internet to “Stateful”

Today’s internet is a Stateless realm. It lacks the functionality to enable a truly intelligent, interconnected, and user-centric digital world, in-turn transforming industries and empowering individuals while requiring careful governance to ensure fairness, security, and inclusivity.

PraSaga Foundation and it SagaChain ecosystems has upgraded the Internet to a “Stateful” presence. With the SagaTech™️ Stack we have implemented a Persistent State Data Management (PSDM) extension of the Internet. This is a major advancement in how you and your data interact with anyone or any organization in the digital world.

Below is a summary of SagaChain’s™️ core enablers from the SagaTech™️ Stack and what those core components enable to deliver real-world utility.

A stateful internet is powered with SagaTech™️ Stack components:

1) Meta-class object model
2) Global object state database
3) Single-instance class tree
4) Programmable smart assets

Together these components redefine how systems, applications, and individuals interact with the digital world. By combining these advanced architectural components, this vision enables a cohesive, intelligent, and dynamic global computing environment. Here’s what such an the SagaChain™️ ecosystem means for the world:

Core Enablers of the Stateful Internet

1. Meta-Class Object Model:

• Provides a universal framework for defining and managing the behavior of objects across the internet.
• Enables objects (e.g., user profiles, digital assets, business processes) to inherit properties and methods dynamically, promoting modularity and reusability.

1. Global Object State Database:

• Acts as a centralized or distributed repository where all object states are persistently stored and accessible globally in real-time.
• Maintains data integrity and consistency across systems, ensuring that every object is always “aware” of its most recent state.

1. Single-Instance Class Tree:

• Creates a unified hierarchy of objects where each class is instantiated only once globally, reducing redundancy and ensuring consistency.
• Facilitates efficient data sharing and inheritance across systems and applications, as all objects reference the same canonical structure.

1. Programmable Smart Assets:

• Digital entities (e.g., tokens, contracts, or virtual goods) with embedded programmable logic, allowing them to autonomously enforce rules, interact with other objects, and execute predefined behaviors.
• Enables automation and customization of complex workflows across domains.

Implications for the World

1. A Unified Digital Ecosystem

• Seamless Interoperability: The meta-class model and single-instance class tree would ensure that systems and applications share a common framework, enabling seamless data and process interoperability.
• Cross-Domain Collaboration: Objects (e.g., a medical record, supply chain shipment, or user profile) could move across industries and platforms while retaining their state, promoting collaboration and reducing siloed operations.

2. Programmable Economy

• Programmable Smart Assets: Programmable Smart Assets would revolutionize transactions by automating agreements, ensuring compliance, and streamlining asset transfer across borders.
• Digitized Ecosystem: Assets like real estate, intellectual property, and commodities could be tokenized and managed dynamically, creating new investment opportunities and liquidity.
• Real-Time Revenue Distribution: For industries like music and entertainment, royalties could be distributed instantly and transparently based on real-time usage data captured in the global state database.

3. Dynamic Automation

• Self-Executing Workflows: Smart assets and the meta-class model would enable objects to interact autonomously. For instance, an IoT sensor could trigger a supply chain reorder when inventory is low.
• AI-Driven Systems: AI models could interact with persistent states and programmable objects to deliver personalized, adaptive services across industries.
• Regulatory Compliance: Industries like finance and healthcare could use programmable rules embedded in smart assets to automatically ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

4. Revolutionizing Governance and Identity

• Decentralized Digital Identity: Users could maintain a single global identity stored in the object state database, enabling secure and privacy-respecting authentication across platforms.
• Transparent Governance: Governments and organizations could implement programmable, auditable decision-making processes using persistent objects to enhance transparency and trust.
• Global Standards and Protocols: The single-instance class tree would serve as the foundation for universal digital standards, reducing inefficiencies caused by incompatible systems.

5. Transforming Industries

Healthcare:

• Global Patient Records: Patients could control their medical data as programmable smart assets, ensuring secure, real-time access by authorized providers worldwide.
• AI-Assisted Diagnosis: AI models could interact with patient records stored in the global state database, enabling real-time, personalized diagnostics.

Finance:

• Real-Time Settlement: Smart contracts and programmable assets could enable instant settlement of payments, reducing delays and eliminating intermediaries.
• Decentralized Finance (DeFi): A stateful internet would power new DeFi solutions with persistent, transparent states for lending, borrowing, and asset management.

Supply Chain:

• End-to-End Traceability: Persistent states in the global database would ensure every product’s origin, movement, and condition are trackable in real-time.
• Adaptive Logistics: Smart assets could autonomously adjust shipping routes and schedules based on changing conditions like weather or demand.

Education:

• Lifelong Learning Records: Students could own a persistent record of skills and credentials as programmable smart assets, accessible across institutions and employers.
• Adaptive Learning Systems: Educational platforms could deliver tailored learning experiences based on a student’s global profile.

Entertainment and Media:

• Rights Management: Programmable smart assets could manage intellectual property rights, ensuring fair revenue sharing for creators and protecting against unauthorized use.
• Immersive Experiences: Persistent states enable virtual environments where user interactions and assets evolve continuously, ideal for the metaverse and online gaming.

6. Ethical and Social Implications

• Data Sovereignty: Users gain control over their data, deciding how it is shared and monetized.
• Privacy-First Architecture: Persistent states and programmable objects could embed privacy by design, ensuring compliance with global standards like GDPR.
• Reducing Inequality: Tokenized assets and global systems could democratize access to resources, creating opportunities for underprivileged populations.

Challenges to Overcome

1. Infrastructure:

• Building the computational power and network capacity to handle a global stateful system.

1. Security:

• Ensuring robust protection against breaches and attacks on the global object state database. SagaChain has implemented a PoS/PoW/PoS Hybrid Consensus layer for secured immutability of data.

1. Standardization:

• Achieving global consensus on the design and governance of the meta-class model and programmable assets. PraSaga Foundation is in process of writing position paper and proposal for Standardizing asset schemas with numerous International Standards Bodies.

1. Ethical Risks:

• Preventing misuse of persistent states for surveillance or control without user consent. Only the user has control of the data, and authorization of access to it on SagaChain.

Conclusion

A stateful internet, underpinned by a meta-class object model, global state database, single-instance class tree, and programmable smart assets, would usher in a new era of technological, economic, and social innovation. It would enable a truly intelligent, interconnected, and user-centric digital world, transforming industries and empowering individuals while requiring careful governance to ensure fairness, security, and inclusivity.
