In the Age of Big Compute...

Look, I understand that compliance is NOT security.
But privacy interacts with security in a really unique way: data that includes personally identifiable information requires the highest standard of security. The meaning of privacy has forever changed, as big compute means re-identification from combinations of fully “anonymized” datasets can be used to identify individuals, easily.

We need to change our mindset if we are going to preserve privacy online.
Compute, specifically big compute - unlocks patterns in high dimensional data using sparse informational vectors to become dense in personally identifiable patterns. The ability to quantitatively measure how many individuals, or groups of similar characteristics, is quantitatively measured by Unicity.

Unicity is often used in the English language as embodied kindess and openness.

Unicity in mathematics is defined as stating the uniqueness of a mathematical object, which usually means that there is only one object fulfilling given properties, or that all objects of a given class are equivalent.
