Research Projects

This page lists some of my research interests and achievements.

Publications

Publications include research papers and also one book. The book is 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. Other areas have also been looked at, with some new discoveries.

Book: The book looked at adding autonomous or reasoning capabilities to information networks, such as services on the Internet. It also introduced the initial ideas for the cognitive model.

Cognitive Model

The cognitive system is now called 'E-Sense'. It has been developed over several years and is now at an implementation stage. While it is slow progress and might not get completed, several new algorithms have already resulted from the research, some with record scores. It originated as a 3-level model, to study distributed sysytems and AI on the Internet, but has since expanded into the biology of real systems. It is still only a design however and I work on it in my spare time.

Evolution

Less robust research has looked at the biology of cells. 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 insects and then to humans. It concluded that possibly, our cells like to use a form of 'expression' that is automatic from the structure, not deliberate and this expression is the basis for some of our functionality. The theory was able to trace an evolutionary path through simpler animal types and then even human language. A later addendum suggests a link in the cognitive process.

The Universe and State Change

I have to note this one-off paper. It argues that black holes are essentially potential energy that converts to kinetic energy after a big bang. So they are benign until the big bang. This means that state change generates the energy that drives the universe. There seems to be recent interest in these topics and its relation to time and gravity, which is also mentioned.

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.
