Fair point, I might not made the other aspect clear enough. This database includes data points of any kind. From tabular about financial planning to health data to calendar and time management. Not only can it hold data, but also modify (calc) entries. Things can be automated.

What this leads to ('what I imagine'), is a modular system. Very bare bone in its core form. Data is processed with editors for each data type. Editors come in the form of addons to the system. Data (and meta, params, etc) would always have to remain human readable - comparable to MarkDown or something. As you must've figured by now, I don't have a definitive picture in my head. All of this must sound very delusional or dreamy ... :)
