Re: Introduction of two creative minds

Hi Rupert,

Hope you're doing well! I =ill soon contact you about potentially supplying a paper to a new book =amien and I are going to edit, on theories of psi and consciousness, a =equel to "Evidence for Psi" ...

But for the moment, I'=m emailing to introduce you to Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of mine from N=w York who is interested in your work ... he is a creative scientific t=inker and a successful businessman, who often donates to interesting sc=entific projects (often at major universities or institutes, but someti=es to independent maverick scientists as well)

I have known Jeff=ey since 2001and have enjoyed many conversations and interactions with=him. I have also passed to him your paper in "Evidence=for Psi" ...

Jeffrey may follow up with a direct email and you=should please feel free to discuss with him directly ;-)

Yours,
Ben

Dear Ben,

Many thanks for your email and thanks for introducing me to Jeffrey.

Dear Jeffrey,

Thanks so much for your interes=. Do please free to email me, and if you have any plans to come through London let me know, then we could meet in person.

All best wishes

Rupert

Rupert , thanks! . do you=come to the states again soon? paris? , I have begun to =und what I call AI (-1) . After funding in general areas that =re searching for answers I have asked people to devise an artificial=method for asking questions. -my view is that intelligence has too o=ten been modeled after computation. previously I have funded=large studies in both conventional and unconventional areas. . strin= theory ( I am well versed in the esoteric mathematics). quantum gra=ity, . , chi in china, placebo effects. , my institute at harv=rd is termed evolutionary dynamics, (with martin novak). I wa= an early funder of chaos theory with feigenbaum and complexity theory wit= Murray Gell-man. Category theory might give some appparatus for you=to better describe your structures. . algebraic toplogy , hype=bolic geometry, all have benefited from its notation. mathate=atics since the 1990s has added more to the various fields and is ab=e to describe many more things that were bounded by the math of the twenti=th and nineteenth.

query . If you were pr=vided serious funding, to "validate " your views. what to= three "experiments" would you choose. ? Im not sure=this is the best description of what you think is needed I=have spent a great deal of time with Noam Chomsky, lately talking about si=ilar reasonings to some of your intuitions. proposal is that - =a coherent sentence is one that fits on a shape , that is itself embedded =n a shape space. certain shapes are coherent. others not. ie =C2 notes are easily recognized as belonging to , or not, re=ular in a particular musical piece.

I think it is clear that the common notion a=d use of the term "probability" , is not mathematically =A0 rigorous. some of your earlier work I believe s=ffers from the common misunderstanding . repetition, symmetry , ec.=C2 being necessary, historical events do not have pro=abilites. they are not repetitive.
