Network operating system and method for managing a changing entity in a computer system

1. A computer implemented method of information, comprising the steps:

managing an entity in a computer system, wherein a change to the entity is an addition or negation of a relationship that relates to the entity, wherein the relationship is an immutable entity by containing immutable data and the relationship records a timestamp that indicates a time of the addition or negation;

subscribing a consumer of information related to the entity; and

pushing the change as information to the subscribed consumer when the change to the entity occurs.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further including bidirectional information-driven computing, comprising the steps of:

a) processing the change as information by the subscribed consumer; and

b) producing another change by changing the entity or another entity in response to the processing; and

c) pushing the another change to other subscribed consumers of the another change so that the other subscribed consumers can process the another change by repeating step a and step b,

wherein the subscribed consumer receives the pushed information and also pushes another information so that a bi-directional information-driven dynamic exists among the subscribed consumer and the other subscribed consumers.

3. The computer implemented method of 2 , further comprising the step of creating a dynamic view, wherein the dynamic view includes the receiving of pushed information and the pushing of information by the subscribed consumer.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of governing the subscribed consumer by a network operating system, wherein the subscribed consumer is a software component.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising activating the software component to process the change.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising deactivating the subscribed component after processing the change.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising preventing the change by throwing an exception by the software component, resulting in the prevention of the change and dependent changes so that information consistency is maintained among a decentralized network of software components that are processing the change, wherein the decentralized network includes the component.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the relationship is the change and the entity is changed because of the negation or addition of the relationship with the entity.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the entity is changed by the addition of a relationship entity and associating the relationship entity with the entity.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the entity is immutable.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the relationship is a second entity that changes a state of the entity, and the relationship includes a unit of change and time.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the step of pushing the change as information to the subscribed consumer includes associating the relationship with the subscribed consumer.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the entity is defined by the relationship which connects the entity with other entities.

14. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium as computer executable instructions for implementing a method of information in a computer environment, the instructions when read and executed by a computer performing the steps of:

managing an entity in a computer system, wherein a change to the entity is an addition or negation of a relationship that relates to the entity, wherein the relationship is an immutable entity by containing immutable data and the relationship records a timestamp that indicates a time of the addition or negation;

subscribing a consumer of information related to the entity; and

pushing the change as information to the subscribed consumer when the change to the entity occurs.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the entity is immutable.

16. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the relationship is a second entity that changes a state of the entity, and the relationship includes a unit of change and time.

17. The computer program product of 14 , wherein the computer executable instructions further includes the step of creating a dynamic view, wherein the dynamic view includes the receiving of pushed information and the pushing of information by the subscribed consumer.

18. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the step of pushing the change as information to the subscribed consumer includes associating the relationship with the subscribed consumer.

19. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the computer executable instructions further includes the step of granting access to the entity for the subscribed consumer to receive the change.

20. A system configured with a computer processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for providing information, the system includes software components stored in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the system configured to read and execute the software components to perform the following steps:

managing an entity in a computer system, wherein a change to the entity is an addition or negation of a relationship that relates to the entity, wherein the relationship is an immutable entity by containing immutable data and the relationship records a timestamp that indicates a time of the addition or negation;

subscribing a consumer of information related to the entity; and

pushing the change as information to the subscribed consumer when the change to the entity occurs.
