"Let us not allow the mere fact of the impossibility of success dissuade us                          from taking an approach that is merely highly unlikely to succeed."

Teaching:

The earth does not, in fact, move around the sun             any more than the sun moves around the earth.    The former point of view just simplifies the math.

At Stanford I teach several courses, including In Interaction Analysis (Symbolic Systems 145) which focuses on human learning about and interaction with complex engineered systems, and Symbolic Biocomputing (Symbolic Systems 216) where we study Artificial Intelligence applications in biological computation. (Symbolic Biocomputing is no longer offered as a formal course. Instead, the materials are online and open source in the form of BioBike Live Tutorials.)

Filer (C++) (for Unix) is a regular- expression-like meta-command generator	Maybe photons don't exist at all. When we say we've "detected" a photon, maybe what we are detecting is two points in the intricate dynamic folding of space-time coming into contact with one another...?
