.web

.web is a generic top-level domain that will be awarded by ICANN to one of seven registry applicants. The .web TLD will be in the official root once ICANN awards the registry contract.

Historic information about .web

.web was operated as a prospective registry, not in the official root, by Image Online Design since 1995. It originated when Jon Postel, then running the top level of the Domain Name System basically single-handedly, proposed the addition of new top-level domains to be run by different registries. Since Internet tradition at the time emphasized "rough consensus and running code", Christopher Ambler, who ran Image Online Design, saw this as meaning that his company could get a new TLD into the root by starting up a functional registry for it. After asking and receiving permission from IANA to do so, IOD launched .web, a new unrestricted top level domain.

Since then IOD has tried to get their domain into the official root through several plans to admit new top-level domains. Several new-TLD plans in the late 1990s, including Postel's original proposal, failed to reach sufficient consensus among the increasingly contentious factions of the Internet to admit any new TLDs, including .web. When ICANN accepted applications for new TLDs in 2000 which resulted in the seven new domains added soon afterward, IOD's application was not approved; neither was it officially rejected, however, since all unapproved applications remain in play for possible future acceptance. A second round of new TLDs, however, was done entirely with new applications, and only for sponsored domains (generally intended for use by limited communities and run by nonprofit entities). The .web registry remains hopeful, however, that their application will eventually be approved. On May 10, 2007, ICANN announced the opening of public comments towards a new, third round of new gTLDs, a round in which IOD has not participated.

    In mathematics, a web permits an intrinsic characterization in terms of Riemannian geometry of the additive separation of variables in the Hamilton–Jacobi equation.

    Formal definition

    An orthogonal web on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is a set \mathcal S = (\mathcal S^1,\dots,\mathcal S^n) of n pairwise transversal and orthogonal foliations of connected submanifolds of codimension 1 and where n denotes the dimension of M.

    Note that two submanifolds of codimension 1 are orthogonal if their normal vectors are orthogonal and in a nondefinite metric orthogonality does not imply transversality.

    Alternative definition

    Given a smooth manifold of dimension n, an orthogonal web (also called orthogonal grid or Ricci’s grid) on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is a set\mathcal C = (\mathcal C^1,\dots,\mathcal C^n) of n pairwise transversal and orthogonal foliations of connected submanifolds of dimension 1.

    Remark

    Since vector fields can be visualized as stream-lines of a stationary flow or as Faraday’s lines of force, a non-vanishing vector field in space generates a space-filling system of lines through each point, known to mathematicians as a congruence (i.e., a local foliation). Ricci’s vision filled Riemann’s n-dimensional manifold with n congruences orthogonal to each other, i.e., a local orthogonal grid.

    I listen good 'cause you're superior
    I have competed and now completed
    This is my future, this is my score
    Take my life from the book
    Like they've done before
    You are the choice, you give the tools
    And I'll pass the line with success
    Prepare me for the big life I obey the rules
    I thank god on my knees I can go to school
    I suddenly experienced this wasn't right for me
    To practice what you preach for the rest of my days
    To walk along the path that you've set out for me
    Conformation or self contained
    Be a part in don't care at all
    Educated, indoctrinated
    The more you told me the more I hated
    Finally I realized this system wasn't right for me
    I could never take for granted all the bullshit
    When you talked to me
    Now I see the difference between you and me
    Confrontation of self regard
    The danger of intelligence
    Wavering institution
    You prepared me for insurrection
    You should be ashamed of yourself
    To create this perfect image
    Of a world that's one big trap
    To come up with a great illusion
    You're the teacher
    Of our future
    Must we take over
    What you did wrong
    You should better ask yourself
    Why there is no use
    In forming an enormous gap
