That, IMO, is a sure recipe > for failure. People who have read newsgroups for several years have seen dozens and dozens of crackpot theories come and go. That all of the bright AI scientists would have been so mired in academia that they would miss the simple solution you have found is about a 10,000 to 1 shot. This project has the characteristics of what is called psuedo-science. However, I think why not wait and see the demo. That you broke the news about this before having the demo ready was a mistake. I visited your website and noticed you had the file size of the demo specified. I think it was like 658k indicating you had already done the work on it. People are going to figure then that it is not working right. Perhaps unlike some others, I'd be delighted to see a "breakthrough". What is your reason for not getting a patent? Regards, Stephen
