However, from the point of contents, today's Internet still does not enable to communicate much more than print - words and pictures (albeit dynamic and generated on-the-fly from a database). However, people think in concepts and laws when reasoning about real world things and systems. We propose how these concepts as well as things could be represented on Internet in a live and working form, developed, shared and used for practical purposes by all Internet users. This approach would lead to a cooperative development of an environment containing the Common Sense (similar to Wikipedia, but in a live computational form) and to the seamless interconnection between the real world things and their virtual counterparties - e-things on Internet.

It can be felt when one tries to understand the correlation between the objective material aspect of the brain and the subjective mental aspect of consciousness (the explanatory gap). In this contribution we propose an interpretation based on a general metamodel we have developed for complex autonomous systems. We show that self-knowledge (i.e. consciousness) depends on the degree of self-reference of the system.
