Biomimicry is a new science which treats nature as <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard for judging <strong>the</strong><br />
"rightness" of our innovations. Nature is acknowledged to have billions of years of R+D<br />
<strong>and</strong> inherent superiority. Many old sciences are coming around to this humility <strong>and</strong><br />
reverence for what nature can do, <strong>and</strong> it is most pronounced in <strong>the</strong> computing architecture<br />
fields. It is normal for humans to compare biology to <strong>the</strong> machine of <strong>the</strong> day – <strong>the</strong> brain is<br />
compared to a computer often but never <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r way around. A new model of <strong>the</strong> brain,<br />
biomimicry methodology, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> NHP which this model supports, may make brain <strong>and</strong><br />
computer truly synonymous.<br />
I took a class at Cornell University – Systems on a Chip: Interdisciplinary Computer<br />
Engineering. I have witnessed first h<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> schism between <strong>the</strong> self-educated, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
formally educated, <strong>the</strong> wise intentions of interdisciplinary endeavors <strong>and</strong> how <strong>the</strong>y fail. I<br />
saw how, despite <strong>the</strong> multiple professors, all <strong>the</strong> students remained specialized. I was<br />
disappointed by <strong>the</strong> class because it didn't teach anything about how a team should work<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r; none of <strong>the</strong> professors worked toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> individual subjects were never tied<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r. The grad student who organized <strong>the</strong> class <strong>and</strong> let me sit in on it saw <strong>the</strong> NHP,<br />
thought it was "great," <strong>and</strong> said he'd try to get some professors to look at it. One said that<br />
that kind of technology is "at least 20 years away." Ano<strong>the</strong>r looked at it <strong>and</strong> said it was<br />
over his head. This discrepancy in attitude <strong>and</strong> knowledge is a big concern <strong>and</strong> it's what<br />
gives me an advantage as an independent. I left <strong>the</strong> class because one day <strong>the</strong> class had to<br />
break up into groups. I couldn't be in a group. The grad student, in an emphatic tone, told<br />
everyone that, "this is about quantifying. Do NOT use your imaginations!"<br />
This statement is pure blasphemy to an inventor.<br />
The NHP was conceived admittedly about 9 years ago in <strong>the</strong> "EUREKA" fashion with<br />
two words: "CRYSTAL BRAIN." It wasn't until about a year ago that it all came toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
when I did some intensive studying online to find components. In that process I learned<br />
of all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r silicon alternatives <strong>and</strong> saw how those efforts were not yielding very<br />
much. It was my intent to adhere to biomimicry methodology <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> reason was simple:<br />
I should be able to reverse engineer <strong>the</strong> very thing that allows me to – i.e., <strong>the</strong> brain.<br />
Whereas corporate <strong>and</strong> academic circles may frown upon my methods for doing this, it<br />
none<strong>the</strong>less worked. Call it an unfair advantage but one brain is all that's needed to<br />
explain itself. Of course when studying <strong>and</strong> associating is all that's dem<strong>and</strong>ed of you,<br />
being exceptionally productive is possible. I had no red tape to contend with, or people,<br />
or deadlines.<br />
Basically, I feel that I would be an ideal interdisciplinary team leader for <strong>the</strong> NHP or any<br />
endeavor.<br />
An interesting anecdote:<br />
At <strong>the</strong> same time I took my class at Cornell, a man named S. Rosen took it upon himself<br />
to be my business advisor. He arranged a conference call for me with a consultant from<br />
Compaq to help determine <strong>the</strong> feasibility of <strong>the</strong> NHP. After a few minutes he told me that
