If you have had the chance to view the child-like qualities of
artificial intelligence
researchers paraded around by television
specials on AI you may have the feeling that it is not
possible to know how the brain works. After
all, those highly credentialed professors are
predicting it will take anywhere from 10 to
100 years to understand how the brain works.
But you have to understand professors. It
is the 10-100 rule. If a person does not know
the answer to a question, and no one else does
either, it is easy to become credible by making
a claim that cannot be disproven. So the
10-100 rule crept into the vernacular.
Brain researchers cannot come right out
and say they do not have a clue. All the research
grants would dry up. They can say they are 'on
the verge' or 'making progress' but they always
seem to slide in the 10-100 rule.
Another thing to know about professors is
that if after years of concentration on one
specific fallacy or the other agreeing with a
totally foreign solution to the same problem means
admitting they were wrong and that would dry
up research funds faster than admitting they
didn't even have a clue.
So, what good is it to know?
It is very good to know.
It not only allows a person to take
control of their own brain but it allows the people who
know how it works, down to the smallest
processing detail, to duplicate a human brain.
But that can't happen for at least 10 to
100 years right?
Wrong. The people who do not know do not
admit someone else might. They only admit
they do not YET.
Has it already been done?
Yes. Numerous times.
You will find references at this site to
RICCI and COREY (two brain models of very simple
complexity). You will NOT find reference to
ELIAS. ELIAS is the planned software human brain
interfacing with the Internet where every
person with an account is an input pathway of its
own. You will NOT find reference to the main
goal, that of building a human level, fully
self-aware, seeing and hearing brain with
head, arms, hands and all of the muscle and joint
parts needed to make it work (yes, those have
been completed as well but not published,
obviously).
SO what is holding it up?
HA! The same thing that keeps silly
scientists doing silly things in silly experiments with silly
investors and silly results and silly claims
and silly papers: money.
Yes, money.
This technology is over 10 years old. The
knowledge of how the brain works, how to wire an
artificial brain and how to build a completely
intelligent artificial life android has been held for
about 9 years. Patents were filed for the
dynamic system, the muscle and joint structures and
the nervous system wiring schematics.
A group of interested persons came
together a number of years ago and created Neutronics
Technologies Corporation , which had the
patent applications assigned to it. That company,
with the aid of an anonymous benefactor built
RICCI, proved the dynamic system, discovered
'dark energy', replicated 'dark energy' and
room temperature quantum computation and built the
hardware to prove it.
Then the money ran out. The technology
was dormant for a few years until Mediais
Corporation was formed to use the technology
in different fields since science was never going
to admit it was wrong about anything unless
the person doing the teaching was a 'professor'.
Quite a few useless attempts were made to
offer investors the chance to utilize the
technology in things like credit card
security, software downloads, music and movie piracy,
process flow and other things, infinite
encryption as well and the presentations were met with
objection from venture capitalists because it
just was not possible (this was pre-bubble time)
to believe that a fantastic technology could
be accomplished for so little cash.
The original estimate to build a human
level android (upper torso, head, neck, arms, hands,
eyes, ears, mouth) was just a bit over 6
million dollars and two -three years. They were
searching for investments that took 50
milllion dollars or more to reach a market dominance and
most lost their shirts to yesterday's 'big
thing'.
Can it still be done?
Yes.
Will it ever be done?
Doutful.
Writing business plans, figuring
hypothetical useless budgets and submitting to a crowd of
10-100 rule believers is a waste of time. Of
course there always is the chance that some
actually intelligent person will read this
material and fund it. But that is doubtful too.

Nothing worth repeating, but it is useful to know who to killfile.
