Purpose
Immortal Space’s purpose is to provide an online perpetual space where you can record the stories of your life with the assurance that they will be preserved within the fabric of Immortal Space for all time. We want our website to bring families closer, expand circles of association, and deepen the connection between generations. Our ultimate goal is to build a social biography—a biography of our whole culture—that you will be part of. We invite you to join in the social biography, and we trust you will find it engaging, enlightening, and entertaining.

Immortal Space combines social networking with autobiography, so you can share aspects of your life with your friends, family, and associates today, while building your autobiography for the future. The stories you will be writing and sharing will constitute your legacy, which will be perpetuated in Immortal Space for thousands of years. Your beliefs, knowledge, and insights will be able to nourish your family and enrich society for ages. Future generations will go to Immortal Space to connect with their ancestors and interact with the lives of the people who shaped the history of their families and affected the course of history in ways both small and large.

As you contribute the stories of your life to Immortal Space, we want you to know that you are part of a social endeavor that will have far-reaching consequences, realized by redefining the character of history, by mapping the evolution of culture, and by ensuring that from now on, no one’s life need ever again be lost to history.
Combining Autobiography and Social Networking
While Immortal Space gives you the benefits of a social networking site, our unique melding of autobiography with social networking gives you much more. While social networks satisfy your need to be connected, Immortal Space goes further and satisfies your need to be remembered. In addition, social networks just provide you with a running commentary on your life, but Immortal Space provides you with a chronicle of your life.
Creating Your Own Digital Clone
You can create a digital clone of yourself that will live forever in Immortal Space. Your digital clone will be able to answer questions about your life, using the content you created in your LifeMap. You create your clone using a digital photo and our artificial intelligence technology, called Digital Human Intelligence™ (DHI). DHI is what brings your photo to life, and it is what is capable of understanding people’s questions and knowing how to find answers from your content. Our DHI means that your many-great-great grandchildren will be able to interact with your content as if they were talking to you.

DHI is a new technology that Immortal Space is pioneering. We are committed to continually advancing our DHI technology and perfecting its simulation of intelligent human conversation. So your digital clone will keep getting smarter and smarter even after you’re dead.
Becoming Part of the LifeMatrix
Because virtually everyone in Immortal Space will be part of multiple Associative Networks, each one of you will be connected to everyone else through some chain of Associative Networks. We depict this complex array of interconnected relationships by a graphical interface called the LifeMatrix. You can surf the LifeMatrix, navigating the entwined relationships that connect all people together, and find anyone’s LifeMap. Each one of you will be connected to the others in some way through the LifeMatrix. And because the LifeMatrix connects successive generations of family members, it links you to the future and ensures that your many-great-great grandchildren can actually find your LifeMap.
Weaving Your Life Into the Social Biography
As you create your LifeMap, define your Associative Networks, and build the LifeMatrix, you contribute to building a Social Biography that will illuminate the characteristics and achievements of our culture. As the LifeMatrix grows, it will convey a view of society and family never available before—a view derived by exploring the threads of family relationships, friendships, professional associations, and institutional affiliations that are weaved in the fabric of Immortal Space.
Building Your LifeMap
The content you create within Immortal Space is called a LifeMap. Your LifeMap will be a montage of your life, illustrated with photos, videos, recordings, documents, maps, art, and music. Your LifeMap will also contain a rich set of content-building features. You will write and share stories that reflect your experiences and beliefs. You will create blogs to share your ideas. You will write a private journal. And you will describe personally significant places, events, and organizational affiliations.
Perpetuating Your LifeMap
Immortal Space guarantees that the content of your LifeMap will be perpetuated for all time. To accomplish this, we are creating the Immortal Foundation, a separate non-profit foundation that will become the permanent repository for all the LifeMaps. The Immortal Foundation ensures that your content will live on indefinitely, regardless of the eventual fate of our company.
Linking Your LifeMap to Others
Associative Networks lets you do something unique: when you enter a content item, such as a story or a photo, you can designate links so that someone reading that story or looking at that photo can jump directly to the LifeMap of anyone mentioned in the story or shown in the photograph.
LifeMaps Are Not Just For People
Business, institutions, and organizations can also create LifeMaps. Event organizers can create LifeMaps. For example, a business can create its history and share it within its Associative Networks, which could consist of employees, customers, and shareholders. A wedding could be immortalized in Immortal Space by using photos, videos, and stories shared within an Associative Network consisting of the wedding party, the family, and the friends of the married couple.
LifeMaps: Secure, Private, and Accessible
Immortal Space provides a new way of doing online networking, called Associative Networks. Associative Networks let you control who has access to the individual content items in your LifeMap. Our Associative Networks give you more precise access control than social networks provide. You define groups that will constitute your Associative Networks, and you assign people to them. Then, when you create content for your LifeMap, you tell Immortal Space which group or groups have access to that particular entry. You can also designate selected entries as private, setting some future date, perhaps even after you’re dead, to make the entry public.
Your Personal Desktop
When you look at a LifeMap in Immortal Space, it will look familiar. We have designed it to look like a desktop, the organizational motif of most personal computer operating systems. We did this because we want your LifeMap to be a flexible launching point for content-building features. We offer you a rich set of features today; we plan to add many more features in the future. And, someday other application developers will create new features that you will be able to add to your personalized desktop. Sometime in the future, even you will be able to create features for your desktop that you can let other people put onto their desktops.
