Yesterday, Project Apario's Director, Andrei published a message to our official Telegram Channel @projectapario indicating major progress in the operations and development of the Project Apario platform. Today, we would like to share with you that announcement in more detail.

Over the last several months you have heard us talk a lot about Tags without being able to see any of it for yourself. I know this is frustrating and not what you expected, but development of these features takes time and resources and being a grassroots movement, we move to the speed permitted by our operational funding status. Currently, our platform is fully funded from the vantage point of keeping the lights on, however new development will be extremely slow over the next few months until we reach 1,200 Apario Members. At this point, we will be able to kick development of the platform into full overdrive to begin the development of the decentralized architecture. All resources are currently dedicated exclusively to operational sustainability.

However, this doesn't mean that a few hours a week I can't get new code written for the project and volunteer my limited free time outside of my professional career. That is where this exciting announcement over Tags has come into fruition. Now, allow me to explain to you the fun and complex idea that I call tags...

The most basic perspective about what a tag is, can be thought of in terms of search queries. For example, I might consider "Larry Nassar" to be a tag and I may consider "FBI" to be another tag. I may also want to create another tag for "Crimes Against Children". However, what if there was a way to organize this information structurally so intelligent algorithms can be written (by Project Apario) that create visual representations of how information intersects within the records contained on the platform.

To take a giant step backwards and inform those who are reading this confused, saying "What is Project Apario?" this is for you: Project Apario is a grassroots community movement that seeks to build a decentralized Open Source Intelligence research utility that incorporates cryptocurrency tokens to facilitate record maintenance and data extraction. This vision is made possible by Apario Members who use the proof of concept beta platform hosted at projectapario.com. This platform is a seed. It's an idea. And I am planting this seed into reality to let it grow. You enable it to grow by using the platform and contributing to its operational and development expenses by becoming an Apario Member. Open Source Intelligence is the key to our societies salvation in the height of Marxist Communism investing and invading the United States. We The People must legally and lawfully reclaim control over our Government. It will only be possible if we band together and reclaim that power. Government means Mind Control. Literally. The US Government has been committing Crimes Against Humanity for decades and COVID-19 is the criminal cabal of Satanic Death Worshipers power play to save their own skins by killing everyone else off. OSINT, or Open Source Intelligence, is information released by the Government through Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIA), declassifications (like the JFK Assassination Records and FBI Vault), and public domain PDF publications on any .gov/.mil domain name. This information is imported into Project Apario and analyzed. Then the platform provides you a fun and novel way to learn about what is inside the records.

Project Apario does not know what is inside the records published. We only know that the Government has declassified them and released them under public domain useage rights, and Project Apario seeks to be a public utility controlled by a decentralized blockchain platform controlled by a non profit organization. We are investigating decentralized organizations and will adopt such a leadership model once the decentralized architcture of the platform is in a published production running state for at least 36 months with over 1 million active concurrent users per day. At this scale, Project Apario will transition to become a decentralized organization such that token holders of the Apario cryptocurrency would be the owners of the organization itself and capable of voting on key decisions proposed by the non-profit organization (the entity responsible for the development and maintenance of the Apario Platform).

One of the challenges that I have experienced having delved into this line of work is the complexity of the information contained within these declassified records, that my classic approaches to search were not working and weren't providing a platform capable of serving the public's needs, especially in this great and troubling time that our planet is experiencing as a result of the pandemic that hit everyone by surprise; though some of us were forewarned (I was one of the people who was providing early warning of the Pandemic prior to 2020).

Tags are my approach to this problem that we face, having too much data. The problems that I experienced before can be summarized as follows:

  1. Originally we were using Google for our searching because we opened bot access to projectapario.com and as a result of it, after launching, we were experiencing 600 concurrent connections at any given point in time due to the bots crawling the hundreds of thousands of records and processing them. This caused performance of the platform to spike and it raised alarms at the Communist Headquarters at Google. We got deplatformed from Twitter and Patreon as a result of the exposure that this decision caused the organization to face.

  2. Then we opted for ElasticSearch, through Elastic Cloud, a subscription service, and that proved to be very horrible. ES simply was not built for Project Apario, and asking it to serve our needs was irresponsible of me to do, but we needed a search and I couldn't use the bot any longer because after getting deplatformed and losing all of our funding, I had to make some big decisions around data management, custody of data, and where specifically we are sharing our analytics and with whom.

    The issue that ElasticSearch gave us was mostly performance related due to the nature of the data that was processed. Unfortunately, the documents scanned into Project Apario are not prestine computer generated PDF documents. They are scans of scans of scans of scans that have been buried by the Government for decades to keep the public from seeing whats buried between the lines; ultimately to prevent YOU from dissenting to what they were doing. The ElasticSearch built a bad index because the Optical Character Recognition scanning operations that took place against the text were malformed to make proper sense of what the data contained. This caused issues to the reliability of the search results because it caused many false positives and missed accurate data due to failures in the OCR efficiency to make out what character was on the document being scanned.

    However, aside from the poor index, the maintenance and cost behind running ElasticSearch was foolishly stupid. Why was I going to invest a lot of time and resources into their indexing engine that wasn't built for OSINT and pay them thousands of dollars at the same time doing it; effectively giving their oganization the IP freely and willingly through their cloud subscription product. It is for this reason that Search does not work on Project Apario currently. I am deeply sorry about this, but consider the following and judge for yourself if I was righteous in my decision, and then you may find it in you to forgive me for not having search online this far into the project.

    When you interact with ElasticSearch as an engineer, writing computer code, there are limitations and customization features that you can use when searching for words, including handling common misspellings and determining valuable information about the relationship between words. Once the records were groomed and cleaned up with the wisdom and elegance of being human (and not a freakin AI robot), then ElasticSearch will become valuable and useful. However, the poor quality of the OCR data made the index unreliable. The major limitation to this was performance of the search and the manner in which results greater than 10K pages were handled.

    On Project Apario there were hundreds of searches for "Seth Rich" and they were looking for specific documents, but the search was pretty unhelpful to be honest with you because it lacked contextual awareness that may be a "between the lines" kind of thing. For example: why not be able to tag a document and say "I am adding this tag because this is who they are talking about, here is my source, and I am funding this new tag with my Apario reputation/crypto." Additionally, when there were more than 10K results; first of all; thats too many results for pages that one would ACTUALLY browse through, in order to find something interesting. Now, this is where StumbleInto is a great idea. StumbleInto a search result. However, ElasticSearch only gives me 10K results. Now, I know for a fact that there are over 96K pages in Project Apario that contain the string "FBI". The old search would only give you the first 10K to be able to see, and never be able to discover the 86K remaining pages that have that keyword on it. You would have to know a second term in order to get access to it. That to me did not sit well. I felt really bad about that and I felt that it was wrong of me to allow the search to use such a flawed approach to gaining insight into this data.

  3. This brings us to the power of 369 and this is the 3rd approach that I am making to fixing the search. My solution is tagging. Now, going back to what I said in the beginning of this discussion, what are tags. If they are 1 dimensional pieces of information, then how do they correlate to the underpinings of contextual awareness surrounding space and time.

WOAH MAN. Space and Time? Are we really there right now? Yes.
