What is
Mindcell?
Mindcell
is a spreadsheet program which is similar to Excel but which
offers 7 dimensional way of thinking.
Mindcell
can store any kind of both number and string data with their format
information. It processes the data in 7x7=49 different planes.
In
a standart database program, first, the data is entered and then it
is read by organizing it. Suppose a database for a school with
students, examinations, and scores kept in different tables.
To get a report on the scores, there should be established a
relation among the students, examinations, and scores tables
writing SQL statements. For example, if we want to learn who got
what score, and in which examination, there should be written the
related SQL statement.
On
the other hand, in Mindcell, because the data is entered by
signing who got what score in which examination, and there
automatically generated a list tree view, you can directly reach
the related page and make any operation on it.
What
does "different views to data" mean? For example,
"who" is a view. "who,where" and
"where,who" are also different views. From this point,
and from the fact that we have 7 basic question words (who, where,
when, how, which, why, what) and also because
"who,where" and "where,who" are different
views, using permutation there are 7!=5040 possible different
views. That means, you can question one data in
5040 different ways.
Mindcell
is also a calculator program. The mathematical formulas and
properties you can find in a calculator program are available in
Mindcell as well.
It
offers a different way of approach to reach the data which
requires a multi-dimensional way of thinking in the organization
of data and which can be understood with complex applications.
The
fact that the questions of "who, where, when, how, why, what,
which", on those Mindcell are built on, are used together to
make a military order clear and certain is an inspiration source
for the development of Mindcell.
The
aim to store the data is to get it back when it is needed. Then,
we can save it to the point where the parameters of it defines.
When it is necessary to read it again, we get it according to the
parameters. Because the data is stored using human language and
daily life thought, we can reach the data questioning it in the
same way.
How
data is entered
- A
Model is designed
- Mindcell
gives us 7 discrete dimensions. What we should do is to name
those dimensions. The best example for this is : "Who,
where, when, what, why, which, how"
- After
the model is created, the data is entered in accordance with
that model. Both string and numeric data can be entered. Mindcell
is a combination of a seven dimensional word processor, a
database, and a spreadsheet. Al the data is kept in the their
defined point, which enables us to have an entire control on
the data. For example, your writings, notes, any kind of
numeric data are stored in an organized way in the file.
- Because
the data is entered as questioned, it is stored in the
database as questioned. We can also express that as perceived.
When needed, even someone who knows little about Mindcell, can
easily reach data.
How
data is questioned
- Because
the data is entered with relations in Mindcell, without any
need to query statements, you can directly reach data. In one
screen, you can see a data related to 7 fields.
- In
Treeview, you can reach the data in 5040 different ways
- For
each query, automatic report pages can be created
- With
Listview, you can create lists with respect to time, subjects,
and numeric data
- There
can be establish a hierarchical structure among the data. For
example, daily calculations can be grouped to create a weekly
calculations upper group. Weekly calculations groups can make
monthly and annual calculation upper groups. In this layered
structure, in the lowest level, a change in a day reflects to
all upper groups. This structure can be created on the network
as well. That is, a change in data related to a day on an A
computer, reflects to the annual data table on a B computer.
This happens with the help of 7 dimensional formula based
operation.

The
philosophy of Mindcell
Although
there is an enthropy in the universe, life is going on. what is
the force behind this? We just believe that the force that enables
the life to continue is one like four basic forces. (4 basic
forces: Gravity Force, Nuclear Force, Magnetic Force, Weak Force)
So, we add one force more to the basic 4 forces. The one which
enables life to continue. Because the basic unit of living
creatures is cell, we call this force "Cell".
But
we also believe there is a 6th force as well. This is the
one which enables the rules of the universe to be independent from
time and place. It is the one which brought the civilization to
the current point. We call it "Mind" force.
Mindcell
is the combination of those two forces.
The
aim of Mindcell.org
The
aim of Mindcell.org is to contribute to the development of
mathematics and to introduce the way of Mindcell thought besides
Mindcell program.
