Virtual Square

This is a revolution, full stop.

If today you have a computer, an Internet provider, you access to a Web site or you download a program for your computer all is going to change.

Virtual Square means that you have pieces of hardware and data pipes. The concept of computer ceases to be physical. Many processors or cases can be a single computer while one single processor can be several computers. Than you have a data pipe provider (or several connections), not an Internet provider as you can freely decide the mapping between computers and links. You are part as as many Internets as you want or like to.

Compatibility issues about processors or operating system have been left as chapters of the history of computation. The mapping between Virtual Square computers and real hardware is dynamic, as well as the mapping between applications (server, client or peer-to-peer) and the virtual square machines they are running on. Somebody long time ago named this process migration. In that meaning we have also machine migration.

We can now split the processing power as we need, creating and destroying virtual square machines. No matter where they are in the real network topology as they are able to join the virtual network topology where we need.

Different virtual square machines can have different features and characteristics depending of our needs in terms of compatibility, performance, security, privacy.

Virtual square is not complete yet. Several tools and protocols need to be improved, some of them are just proof of concepts, others are just not stable yet. I can currently envision only some of the possibilities virtual square can offer, I am sure much more are here to come. If you want to follow with me this evolution stay tuned, this is the site.

Everything here is virtual but the freedom is real. All the software described here has been released under a liberal licence: FSF or at least OSI compliant.
