Re: richard axel

pb 561 655 7626 yes , axel is great.. he should meet with martin novak , from harvard... attacking infectious disesase through game and evolutionary theory„ why stop one disease , if you can find the algorithm to fight them all.

also if you like novak can meet bill at my house. iwon't be there, but novak ususallly stays thee when he is in town

bill is going to nyc in november for a few meetings i think one of them will involve him meeting with richard axel - i am sure they have met before just fyi if you think there's anyone he should meet (for funding or other informational purposes) let me know? tried calling your nyc and it says that it doesn't accept messages anymore!

exactly my thought
why don't we make a vaccine against "virus" instead of one that does all the specifics? so what if it kills the good ones too. humans are good at adapting. we keep looking for smaller and more esoteric things so that people can get funding for the labs and PhDs. i think we need to start going the opposite direction and looking bigger and more general.

ok i will write down pb number.
i know your schedule is wacky
is nowak in nyc?

he could be... am i correct that a virus in essence hijacks dna. and co-opts the system. I believe that dna codes would have developed its own defense mechanism including standard protocols of deception.. so that you would add complicated junk in an attempt to force the virus to attack the wrong part of your code. you would then also create false proteins that by themselves might defend from the next layer of attack... My BIG idea is that where survival of the fittest in mathematics has always been the shortest algorithm , almost by definition, when the concept is overlayed on biology, or embedded in a more complex space, the most efficeint algorithm will be the most vulnerable. It can not be broken down further and still work.. therefore the fittest algorithm is flexible , according to the enviornment.. IN essence it is not survival of the fittest, the fitness landscape can reach local mimimas , but they are not safe. from attack.. DNA HAS construced a defense mechansim based on deception camaflauge, false info, extra junk„ THe work should not be what trait cames from what gene , that is only a quarter of the space. the other is what genes are fakes, what traits are protecitve mechanisms, the fittest can fool the enemy and change dynamically as the enemy does. for example making like hepatitu making multiple useless copies, so when they are attacked, a great deal of energy is expended fighting mere dummies,

let me see what is up and get more exact dates etc. it is almost hilarious the dust that gets kicked up when he comes to town (anywhere on earth) oy.
