My focus is not on solving nature’s deeper mysteries. It is on using nature’s deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.

Scientists try to discover or unravel the mysteries of nature. Some of the problems we are trying to solve have been solved in nature.

The greater opportunity enabled me to make important discoveries and inventions.

The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig.

Briefly, to program it requires an absolute understanding of how all 65,536 processors are interconnected.

The reason is that the Patent and Trademark Office can deny patents to inventors that publicly provided details of their invention.

The 65,536 processors were inside the Connection Machine.

Our lives sometimes depends on computers performing as predicted.

Because I am not formally trained in the medical sciences, I can bring in new ideas to AIDS research and the cross-fertilization of ideas from different fields could be a valuable contribution to finding the cure for AIDS.
