Can You See Gatfol?

 

Gatfol Technology for Mobile Applications

The developing world over – but especially in Africa – more and more people are interfacing with mobile- or cellphone-based technology from first language bases that are not always that of the information carrying web – English. Cultural sophistication is also in many ways not currently present in – especially rural – communities to “talk” to electronic information effectively.

Gatfol provides an invisible (to the user) core technology that acts as interpreter between unsophisticated user input and what the application based information “requires” for efficient retrieval. Gatfol is the connection at a level that can be understood by both sides.

The technology differs from the current in that it can analyse everyday word relationships at power levels several magnitudes more subtle than that presently available. Gatfol has moved away from strictly mathematical pattern analysis to develop a compact and powerful two-dimensional matrix based technology that can deal with the “grayness” and “messy” structure of everyday verbal communication. To do this Gatfol uses unique matrix feedback structures and applies programmatic equivalents based on neurophysiological functionality such as neuron-interaction, quantity and quality of axon connections and neuronal firing impulses.

Gatfol can integrate disadvantaged communities worldwide – through language, culture and internet exposure – far quicker into our web world of meaning by successfully bridging the human-to electronic-information communication gap.

The strength of the Gatfol technology is that it not just acts as interpreter across informal communication channels – for instance in social networks, but also through more formal applications including news services, educational programs, consumer advertising, health- and medical support, financial- and insurance services and entertainment  – all linked to a fast growing pool of previously unsophisticated consumers.
