Beyond Bitcoin & Forth (BBF004): H3A Hilbertian Hashed Homoiconic Augmentation - Liang Ng
"Combining Phoscript Program Syntactic Simplification and Omnihash produces Hilbertian Hashed Homoiconic Augmentation (H3A), whose ultimate goal is to create a "super google earth", where a realtime user updates will be used to train Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), whose code base is, in turn, being enhanced and modified by H3A, fulfilling its homoiconic namesake by firstly producing a realtime user updated earth model and secondly modifying the code base of AGI in real time."

Remember FIJI, my ForthIsh Java Interpreter? - Jack J. (Jax) Woehr
“Just for fun, I've dusted FIJI off using Agentic coding tools. I started the project in 1999 and over the decades the basic concept has become Ublu.”

Future

CoSy Update - Bob Armstring
"I can talk on progress toward eclipsing the trade computing environments with Forth CoSy for the ultimate target market of female entrepreneurs who consistently compare CoSy with Evernote and Notion, both of which have ~ $B valuations after a couple of $100m investments. But both don't have the radically open foundation provided by Forth. (Notion does evolve from SmallTalk.) "

Automatic Differentiation in Forth - Brad Nelson
"I'll explore using Forth Recognizers to implement automatic differentiation and explore differential programming."

Differentiable Programming

Windows Shell Support in Win32Forth - Bill Ragsdale
Bill will examine the three levels of direct user's Forth interface to a Windows based PC.

Joseph will continue his presentation of Creole Forth for Python which he used to develop commands for the Picar-X robotic car.

Smart Token System - Don Golding
Don will discuss a combination of Color Forth constructs: a packet like structure for the cell.
