I think Kat is basically the victim of a hoax. If you have a little 
time, read the second (two page) document she points us to. It gives 
an example of a useful database operation and then an example of an 
operation on "Perfect Data", which is what Kat thinks she's working 
on. The "Perfect Data" operation reads like the Monty Python "Free 
Association" sketch. How anyone could think this is useful, let alone 
possible, beats the heck out of me.

The first document is longer (eight pages), but worth a read if 
you've got the time. It raises a bunch of sensible points and fails 
to address any of them except with vague assurances and quotes from 
Shakespeare. The inventors of modern database architectures are 
characterized as American geeks who messed up because Alan Turin was 
dead and they couldn't ask him what to do.

On the other hand, if Kat *does* have the couple of million dollars 
she needs to fund this project, I take it all back. Go Kat! Spend, 
spend, spend!
