The 'Xchip' is 100% hardware. With modern foundry techniques, robotics and
testing we can speed up the development process by 10s of millions times
natural evolution. There's no DNA. It's all crystalline inorganic solids
based on silicon. We'll get exponentially better at it over time.
Especially as the development tools and foundries improve.

Blind, unsupervised evolution is the most wasteful, inefficient, slow and
frankly brutal development process.

A science that has been broken for 65 years is now to be fixed. It's a good
news story!

We start by building macroscopic capacitors that express neuron-mimetic EM
fields - just like the paper says. We build down to nanoscale over time.
That's what the project funding in the paper is about. It's a long process
and I will not live to see it to fruition. But at least I get to help start
it.

Revealing and repairing a science practice that seems to have been born
deformed has taken a huge amount of work. I hope that I have presented it
in a helpful and balanced way suited to engendering the necessary changes
to the affected research communities. I have strategically located myself
within neuroscience to help foster the change. They have a big adjustment
to make.
