HI Memo Codename: "Grassland, back to the Savannah; or Rethinking Flatland" [Free World Eyes Only]
Problem Statement ---- Build a McCarthy Machine infrastructure, with the specification, computing hardware (including CPU as well as graphics, AI, physics, numerical, etc. coprocessors as needed), OS, applications, documentation, networking implemented in Scheme (S-expression notation). Make it free (as in freedom), paid (as in my family has to be fed), secure, low acoustical noise, trusted, efficient, and biocompatible. Task 0D ---- Build a '79 Scheme Bit with salvaged '52 vacuum technology. Explore overclocking at limits of gate switching speed, visual indication of state for debugging... TO DO: Part list, including count of tubes TO DO: Can tubes be made to operate like resistors? TO DO: What is the technical specificaton (electrical discipline) of 0 and 1, per the '79 paper? Task 1D ---- Start examining functional geometric modeling using the results of "Task 0"... Task 2D ---- Revisit Farnsworth and Lancaster, compare and contrast to ATSC 3.0 [HSLEM, w.r.t privacy] Task 3D ---- Study Euclid, Descartes, Rvachev... Task 4D ---- Implement general sweeps of 3D shapes over time...
