CoSy is a new paradigm in computing language and interface . CoSy implements the abstractions of APL , evolved from the notation of applied mathematics , winnowed thru K , in open Forth . Forth is uniquely minimal and open to the underlying hardware . In fact a Forth processor takes up just a small amount of space on an FPGA .  All in an computational notebook , log , environment for dealing with the everyday business of life , written itself in CoSy .

While at the two poles of the computing language spectrum , APL and Forth share a number of attributes :

• Both are interactive and interpretive at the user level .
• Both are oriented for the creation of words , vocabulary , which work together in sentences .
• Both are functional : words are generally structured take the result of previous words and return results to be used by following words .
• Both tend to be extremely succinct . Definitions are delimited by just a single character .
  • K |  name : { def ... }
  • Forth |  : name  def ... ;

Forth's goal is the minimal vocabulary necessary to create a dictionary capable of extending itself .
It is as simple as language can be :

• a ` word is any non blank string of characters .
  Space is the prime delimiter .
• The syntax is noun noun verb aka: RPN

CoSy adds plurals to Forth .

• all nouns are lists . At the Forth level they have a 3 cell header
`( Type Count refCount )` 
  Lists are allocated . When  ` refCount returns to 0 they are freed .
• Indexing is modulo -- like counting on your thumb & fingers : 0 1 2 3 4 0

CoSy's next step is attracting the fresh heads and resources to clean it up in a Forth available across the various current chips and operating systems , and to interface thru browsers and the Web
