Research Projects

The software has come from a research and development background. There has also been the opportunity to conduct more pure research, where this page lists some of the projects.


Publications

Publications include research papers and also one book. The papers have been published in journals or as white papers. The book has been self-published.

Papers: The papers focus mostly on a new cognitive model, based strongly on the human brain. The licas distributed system is also a research project. Some other areas have also been looked at however, with some new discoveries having been made.

Book: The book is also primarily about distributed systems, the licas ideas and related cognitive model.



Cognitive Model

This model has been developed over several years and has resulted in a series of papers 'New Ideas for Brain Modelling ??'. It originated as a 3-level cognitive model, strictly for AI, but has since expanded into philosophy, biological systems and even the biology of humans. It is still only a design however and I work on it in my spare time. I am trying to prove the theories, but it will take a long time.

Evolution

Less robust research has looked at the biological side of the cognitive model more closely. It started with considering how to create a new data encryption method and realised that the genetic code sequence in a cell nucleus, may in fact contain structures that are built from simpler structures lower down the helix. So the start of the sequence would contain the most basic structures and then combinations of these are used to build more complex structures further up. This has been described in the following white paper.

Then a paper on biological evolution considered the same principle applied to simple insects and then to humans as well. It concluded that possibly, our cells like to use a form of expression that is automatic from structure, not deliberate and this expression is the basis for some of our functionality, including human language. The theory was able to trace an evolutionary path from ants to bees, for example and also to explain what the bee wiggle dance might be for. A later addendum suggests a link in the cognitive process..



Black Holes

There may actually be some basis to this theory that looked at applying an entropy equation, created from the cognitive model, to Black Holes. It considers a completely different model, where Black Holes have perfect entropy, which also means that they are all potential energy and would not have any usable energy inside. Light cannot escape because there is no energy to escape with. Something triggers the Big Bang event and the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, to produce a new Universe. This has been extended into a theory about universal state change.



Symbolic CPU

Another paper has considered how to build a CPU (central-processing unit), using any numbering system, not just binary. To do this requires that the binary arrays are converted into 2-D grids and the numbers are symbolised to a certain extent. But apart from that, it is quite straightforward. It may also mean that the CPU could include non-numeric symbolic levels.


Clean Energy Patent

I have two clean energy ideas. A new wind turbine design has been granted a patent and a floats energy idea is very like perpetual motion. I do not have the resources myself and I am looking for an interested investor, where it would be high risk but not overly expensive.
