Three Sources Of BEAST

If God didn't exist, it would
be necessary to invent him

Voltaire

BEAST has two faces: On the one hand, it is a unifying and bonding platform, a system, convenient for the Internet/intranet creation and re-creation in and around it. On the other hand, it is a liberating metaphor, a de-complicating parable, a method for the Internet/intranet creation and re-creation.

The conception and development of BEAST are as logical as all other occurrences in history. When there is a need – soon, there is usually a tool; when old tools are no longer satisfactory – there, before long, appears a new one. (Of course, often advances come in conflict with old ways and definitions – normally, that is until they become standard).

There are three groups of reasons why BEAST had to exist and why if it hadn’t existed, it would be necessary to invent it J . These reasons lie in the following realms: philosophy, business and technology.

Technological Aikido

Technological Aikido practiced by ET allows the company to build upon other’s achievements without the need to confront its opponents and to introduce yet more disharmonies in the already cluttered world of technologies.

According to the ancient masters of Aikidjutsu, the one who can blend his own strategy with that of his opponent becomes invincible. This is what ET does best. We build upon others’ strategies and technologies. Would you like us to train you in Technological Aikido?

Philosophy

There is no opinion so absurd that
some philosopher hadn’t expressed it

Cicero

Unlike the ancient thinkers, the modern philosophers put the individual and his freedom in the center of their teachings. Even for Kant and Hegel freedom of man is the central question. Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre take it further and postulate that individual freedom is primary and should not be subdued and substituted by the needs of the society.

But in order to be meaningful, freedom from should be also freedom to. Liberating effect of information technology development means freedom from tedious and meaningless labor, which is now “outsourced” to machines. But, on the other hand, technological progress complicates (already complicated) things and freedom to create new IT systems gets increasingly limited by the tyrannies of technological complexities, diverse formats, platforms, protocols and programming languages.

There has always been a need in a concept (a platform and a paradigm), which would beget both freedom from harsh systemic limitations of the current state of progress and freedom to use the capabilities offered by that state of progress. An IT platform, which would play a role of such concept, should allow users to enjoy the advantages of different and often conflicting technologies as well as to overcome their enslaving constraints.

Enter BEAST– freedom from limitations of diverse technologies – yet, freedom to utilize their advantages.
