I have been a big fan of Gelernter for more than a decade. Cf a comment in my weblog about MirrorWorlds and such (including relationship to Frontier). Raskin's Zoomworld too.

I'm especially intrigued by his emphasis on time-based, versioning-rich streaming of content on computers. Frontier's default calendaring as an idea-organizer is compatible, though primitive by comparison. Then again, no one has been able to implement Gelernter yet, not even Gelernter.
