AEDOK's_K(tm)_Name-Origin Level 3

Ktm

In our early development work on the groundwork of Dimensionstm, we needed a handle ^{an older yet apropos term}a name, for the computerized version of a librarian. But more than just a librarian, more like a custodian. A custodian of the files. Yet even more than that, because the traditional concept of files is adolescent. Big blocks of otherwise meaningless characters that only have meaning to some high-level intellect observing it. Of course there is HTML which quantizes the blocks. but only for the purpose of visualization, known as markup. Thus the term Hypertext Markup Language HTML. But it does not concern itself with the meaning of the quantized blocks, again, except as they pertain to one another in the markup.

Whereas, Dimensionstm concept of a file is almost down to a quantum level, with more interlinkages than a human can imagine comprehend and keep track of. So this librarian / custodian would be taking care of essentially all the information in the archive. The entire archive. The content, the indexes, the descriptions, even the presentation itself, which is itself just more information.

What to name this program, a program that keeps track of all this stuff, and which will eventually be interactive and converse? The name is in the question.

Thus the name, Keeper. And as we are fond of abbreviations for limiting the space consumption by commonly used and reused terms, this being a name with which we shall be conversing, abbreviated down to K.

But, because we didn't want our valuable concept duplicated and diluted, diminished because we saw fit to reduce it to a single efficient character, because of this, we necessarily added the trademark symbology, (tm), which we would have done on Keeper anyway.

Thus, Ktm, the keeper of the archive.
