Abstract:
1. A system for data processing and observation having a data processing architecture comprising one or more data processing components associated with a logical level such that a data processing component associated with a logical level only accepts input from one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower logical level or an external source; a data processing component associated with a logical level only provides output to one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower level or an external recipient system; wherein a data processing component can not accept input or provide output from or to a data processing component in the same logical level; and a data processing component will only accept an input that conforms to an ontology related to the logical level with which the data processing component is associated; and an external recipient system for providing a human-observable representation of one or more virtual objects that are mapped from a representation of a real or virtual object to a virtual object in one or more universes comprising one or more observing subsystems to provide the human-observable representation of said one or more virtual objects and thus respective universes to which said virtual object is mapped, and an interface device configured to receive control information indicating a position from which to represent said virtual objects in a respective universe and based thereon, to control said one or more observing sub-systems.
