Julio Herrera - Jacque Fresco Centennial Event - March 12, 2016

Julio Herrera was born and raised in New York city.

(?) graduated in high school, he immediately (?) served the US Navy.

He attended the US Navy (?) engineering (?) schools,

at US Navy training centers in (?) north Chicago.

He is presently working for (?) industry as a mechanical engineer.

And (?) is talking about city systems of The Venus Project.

Greetings and welcome to the Centennial celebration,

and happy birthday Jacque. (?) yes.

Let’s talk a little bit about the TVP city systems.

In many ways these city systems take their cures(?) from living organisms.

You can easily compare majour components of these cities

with the central nerve systems of human body.

Which relies on our senses for inputs

and the transmit these imputs to our brains

where they are processed and almost immediately their solution is arrived at,

then it is sent out to the appropriate muscles, organs and other systems as outputs.

Kind of a smart city that needs to fill itself, so it can make the necessary adjustments

and react intelligently to it constantly changing environment.

So as you come alive and become alert digitally, of course.

It needs to know of the conditions that exist. The conditions that surround it.

It needs to know as much information about the inside and outside of the city as it can,

so that they can arrive at the best optimal solution available at that given moment.

With minimal human intervention, without causing any harm to the environment,

or without causing any harm to our planet.

And(?), so when that day comes, and the size of the population

of the city have being surveyed,

and its maximum function has been determined,

only 1/8th of the city will have to be built.

And the remain of the circular city will be designed to be duplicated

with the assistance of robotics and automation

as the transition into a resource based economy.

All available resources and technologies would be constantly updated and upgraded,

and made accessible to all of the first inhabitants,

which consists of people from many different relevant disciplines

pertaining to the development of the first Venus Project city and its systems.

The city would be of new construction,

and the old cities would be used as raw and recyclable resources,

which some older cities left intact and preserved as museums.

Incidentally, in the resource based economy, by all of this taking place,

in the central dome where hold all this massive data will be collected and stored

before any resources or materials are allocated,

a second use or a second purpose would have already been reallocated and assigned,

so ask to keep waste at near to zero as possible.

So, how does this all happen, you made me ask.

Well, in order for this kind of systems approach to our property,

you must first understand that we really don’t need to invent any newer technologies.

We just need to realize that we can rearrange the technology we already have in existance today

and applied differenty in such way that would elevate the quality of life

for all who that inhabit the city.

But how? Well, through the use of what is known as programmable logic control

and electronic environment, or feedback sensors.

These are the same technologies already in use today

in the (?) industry and amusement park in the streets,

in assembly lines, in many automated manufactures.

These technologies advanced sensing devices will accomplish many capabilities,

such as reading and or monitoring, measuring controlling or limiting,

and would be able to interpret many bits of information,

such as surface areas, depths, heights, levels, pressures, temperatures,

moisture, weight, vacuum, proximities, and much more.

These sensing devices would also played and important role in redundancy,

in cases where primarily systems may fail,

then backup systems would avoid any interruptions.

When positioned strategically, these devices can extract accurate information that is relevant,

and not easily seen to the naked eye.

So, when a sensor feels or senses,

it is referred to as an input or a bit of information.

This bit of information is interpreted and converted

into an electronic signal that would become wireless(?) one day,

that is on its way to the central dome,

see the picture of the central dome up there,

where the central processing unit on a programmable larger control are located.

The central dome, or the (?) center,

houses all the cybernated systems and the necessary equipment

to collect, store and share massive amounts of information.

Once all the inputs have entered the center processing unit,

it contains an internal program that tells the programmable logic control

what to do with all that information that it now has.

It is here where the best solution or aproach available today is arrived that.

Once it has been calculated, or ended or solved,

an electronic output is generated immediately, and the decision is arrived there.

It is now on its way to appropriate devices and or components throughout the city

to make the vital adjustments necessary to maintain a high quality of life for all to enjoy,

at all times without a price tag.

Whether would be (?) transportation or irrigation,

these automated outputs can energize or de-energize a multitude of dictated functions

in whatever sequence it has learned or has arrival.

These adjustments resulting from outputs,

can open or close floodgates, or divert water ways.

Increase or decrease moisture content(?) in the agricultural belt.

Or maybe indicate some impurity in the air or drinking water.

On early(?) flood or earthquake warning,

monitoring and maintaining a number of vital systems

such as water filtration systems, air purification systems,

as well as the most suitable and timely allocation of resources

intelligently distributed amongst all without a price tag.

And where did we hear that before?

We can eliminate scarcities and over(?)

with the well balanced and the well management resource database

that would be made accessible to everyone, constantly updated,

as to where exactly, and when exactly, that resource is, or will be, available.

Just like what we were tracking the packages today.

Since the realization of the internet of things,

it is aparent that our gadgets are becoming more wireless

and our devices are becoming more digitized at home and at work.

Communicating any bit of information these days seems to be the thing to do.

We can practically embed a sensor into anything these days, and monitor it.

Yes, they are even nano scaled sensors capable of nano scaled tasks.

Nano sensors can be chemical or mechanical.

And work basically the same.

Except they can read minuscule and (?) bits of information.

There are so much more other technologies out there just waiting to be rearranged.

The truth of the matter is they are already companies doing these things,

and they are communicating with everything you can attach a sensor to.

Unfortunately, it is still motivated by money,

or money somehow seems to get in the way of its full potential.

The possibilities are endless, as the transition slowly into resource based economy,

we can enjoy abundance become sustainable by applying these technologies accordingly.

Yes, we can not stop there.

Each city is unique to its function and its position on the planet is critical.

I wanted to mention a little bit about the correlation center

that easy that we didn’t talk about much.

Is basically a, according with the Looking Forward book, that is a, The Venus Project website. I just i read it.

A CORCEN is the massive computer that correlates the interactions of all people

and all automation globally.

It is housed at the central dome (?) resource based economy city.

Which (?) dome around the world fully integrated (?) into a global network.

The only way to throw of concern is to deny the relevant needs.

Even then, it has the sensitive feeling for the need to delay predictions,

until more facts are available.

I myself feel how else we would be able to better management of our resources,

if we don’t know how to survey an account for a common heritage to our resources.

Thank you very much.
