short for virtual computer
a software-defined computer that coordinates several physical machines into a single computing entity through consensus
marketable term for the following tightly related phenomena
- blockchain and blockchain network
- distributed ledger
- consensus computer
bostrom is the vimputer that hosts the cybergraph and runs the truth machine
neurons interact with the vimputer by signing cyberlinks with focus
computation happens in two modes
- sequential: cosmwasm contracts, cyber-sdk modules, governance
- parallel: the tri-kernel runs on gpu to compute cyberank every block
the vimputer provides the guarantees that make knowledge authentic
- every cyberlink has a signature, a block timestamp, and a focus cost
- the state is deterministic — all nodes converge to the same cybergraph
