Everything is connected. We cannot solve the problems of cyberspace in isolation unless we redesign the computer to help. The correct solution starts with trusted software, at every level, first and foremost, by eliminating errors at the machine-code level. Then and only then can software be trusted, and statements like (ops(i+1) ⊆ ops(i)) (see here) will mean what they say.
It requires hiding the binary computer within each and every function abstraction as a golden token, a capability-limited key to an abstraction. Symbolic machine code hides shared memory, prevents default machine powers, and purges the dangerous superuser that causes ransomware and national dictatorships. AI malware from the CRINK nations (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea), aided by centralised, vulnerable, surveillance operating system kernels, only supports the dictators. Democracy will wither and die.
Only the flawless mathematics of the Lambda Calculus can save us. A lambda calculus Meta Machine of six Church-Instructions. This is CLOOMC (Capability-Limited, Object-Oriented Machine Code), pioneered by PP 250, to guarantee the security of a private namespace for individuals and applications distributed across a network. Each fail-safe, threaded execution has the rigour of pure, symbolic mathematics and the power of the individual owner, enabling the critical distributed abstractions that foster democracy over dictatorship.
CLOOMC unites the high-level, mathematical rigour of the Lambda Calculus with the raw execution power of computers as Industrial Strength Computer Science. CLOOMC is a fundamental shift in programming languages—allowing hardware to understand and secure programs and information.
Fail-Safe—Industrial Strength
Unlike binary machine code, which treats memory as an unprotected "flat" array of bits and bytes, CLOOMC builds immutable (Golden) tokens for six Church-Instructions that secure all PP 250 namespace applications as individual species, each with its own DNA.
Capability-Limited: No operation can access memory or resources (local or remote, real or abstract) without presenting a valid "golden token" (capability). This replaces the unrestricted access model of conventional computers with a rigorous, fail-safe, hardened security framework.
Object-Oriented: The hardware isn’t just bits or bytes—it’s organised into function abstractions (digital objects). The hardware protects object boundaries and types, preventing vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, code injection attacks, confused deputy attacks, ROP attacks, and networked ransomware that binary systems will never prevent.
Machine-Code Realisation: CLOOMC incorporates the formal logic of the Lambda Calculus—abstraction and binding—directly into the CPU's instruction set, protected by capabilities. Thus, instead of simulating safety in software, with endless patching, arguments over effectiveness, and whether (ops(i+1) ⊆ ops(i)) can be trusted, security that can be trusted is built into the computer itself, where a single machine instruction flawlessly, using golden tokens, has the flawless machine power to safely automate the world.
As a Church-Turing Machine, a second dimension of application programming creates the hierarchical DNA of golden tokens that defines the application in a private lambda calculus Namespace as a self-controlled, mathematically provable, secure digital species.
The Link to Lambda Calculus
CLOOMC is the tangible embodiment of Typed Lambda Calculus, encapsulating and hiding all the flaws and shortcomings in every binary machine.
Namespace: A private and secure hardware-enforced sandbox with a built-in Lambda Calculus IDE (LCIDE) to catch all errors and prevent all malware.
Lambda: Represents the abstraction of functions and objects.
Types: Correspond to capabilities that constrain function actions.
Reduction: Each CLOOMC thread of execution means a secure reduction of some private, fail-safe, capability-protected expression.
