+= Introduction and Motivation
+
+Ever since the proclamation of a common standard of achievement for all peoples
+and all nations @UN, the question of what it all means has remained open. Many
+generations of philosophers, mathematicians and computer scientists have tried
+to answer the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything — so far
+without a satisfying result.
+
+This thesis will approach the question computationally. A dedicated planetary
+computer will be designed and run until an answer is produced. The exposé at
+hand motivates the topic, defines the goals of the thesis and describes the
+planned approach and schedule.

+= Problem Statement and Objectives
+
+The problem is twofold: it is unclear what the answer to the Ultimate Question
+is, and it is equally unclear what the Ultimate Question actually says. Within
+the scope of this thesis only the first part will be addressed.
+
+The objectives of the thesis are:
+
++ Design of an architecture that is capable of computing the answer.
++ Implementation of a prototype of the proposed architecture.
++ Evaluation of the produced answer with respect to correctness and usefulness.
+
+Out of scope is the reconstruction of the Ultimate Question itself, which is
+left for future work.

+= Planned Approach
+
+The thesis will follow an iterative approach. First, related work on very large
+questions is reviewed. Based on the findings, a suitable architecture is
+designed and a prototype is implemented. The prototype is then evaluated
+against a set of smaller, well understood questions before it is applied to the
+Ultimate Question.
+
+== Methodology
+
+The evaluation will compare the computed answer against the expectations of a
+panel of hyper-intelligent beings. The comparison is carried out in a
+controlled experiment, and the results are analyzed both quantitatively and
+qualitatively.
