Factory of realities: on the emergence of virtual spatiotemporal structures
The ubiquitous nature of modern Information Retrieval and Virtual World give rise to new realities. To what extent are these "realities" real? Which "physics" should be applied to quantitatively describe them? In this essay I dwell on few examples. The first is Adaptive neural networks, which are not networks and not neural, but still provide service similar to classical ANNs in extended fashion. The second is the emergence of objects looking like Einsteinian spacetime, which describe the behavior of an Internet surfer like geodesic motion. The third is the demonstration of nonclassical and even stronger-than-quantum probabilities in Information Retrieval, their use. Immense operable datasets provide new operationalistic environments, which become to greater and greater extent "realities". In this essay, I consider the overall Information Retrieval process as an objective physical process, representing it according to Melucci metaphor in terms of physical-like experiments. Various semantic environments are treated as analogs of various realities. The readers' attention is drawn to topos approach to physical theories, which provides a natural conceptual and technical framework to cope with the new emerging realities.

Ideals and Virtual Realities
A main step for world progress is to keep sharing ever-present Ideals for science and education within today Virtual Realities. On-line education is transforming human society to new levels in the way people teach and le…
Beyond the Metaverse: XV (eXtended meta/uni/Verse)
We propose the term and concept XV (eXtended meta/omni/uni/Verse) as an alternative to, and generalization of, the shared/social virtual reality widely known as ``metaverse''. XV is shared/social XR. We, and many others,…
The Metaverse Data Deluge: What Can We Do About It?
In the Metaverse, the physical space and the virtual space co-exist, and interact simultaneously. While the physical space is virtually enhanced with information, the virtual space is continuously refreshed with real-tim…
ManagementSTIP: A SpatioTemporal Information-Preserving and Perception-Augmented Model for High-Resolution Video Prediction
Although significant achievements have been achieved by recurrent neural network (RNN) based video prediction methods, their performance in datasets with high resolutions is still far from satisfactory because of the inf…
Video PredictionMixing realities for sketch retrieval in Virtual Reality
Drawing tools for Virtual Reality (VR) enable users to model 3D designs from within the virtual environment itself. These tools employ sketching and sculpting techniques known from desktop-based interfaces and apply them…
