The Fractal Hyper Computer: Dawn of a New Era in Computing 2. wydanie

"A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory"

~ Albert Einstein.

Quantum Computing, Neuro-morphic and Neuro-synaptic chips sound really cool but what is the computational theory behind these devices? Anyone? Without a theory, is it realistic to expect a new revolutionary computing theory to magically appear just by tinkering? Isn't this 'monkey at a typewriter' syndrome? What is so unique about these devices that you can't use conventional integrated circuits to do the same thing? How can you expect to harness quantum theory to build a supercomputer when nobody understands how it actually works? These are tough questions I know, but If the answer is simply a quest for more computing speed, I would have to say, that in light of the string of flunked speed tests, "Houston...we got a problem!". What is needed is a radically new approach and for that you need a theory!

This enormously challenging path led me over three decades to develop a radically new computational theory; fractal hyper computation theory. My theory, described in this book, shows how language, vision, hearing and algorithms are computed in a fractal manner.

The Traveling Salesman Problem or TSP is frequently quoted as *the* problem that a quantum computer could solve astronomically faster than a classical computer; the quantum computer experts say it takes a classical computer longer than the age of the universe to solve a 30 city TSP. Is this true? Not so...there is published scientific research, including from major respected universities, showing that an optimization algorithm based on ant colony principles, running on a slow classical computer in emulation mode, can solve a 170 city TSP in around 1 minute and a 783 city TSP in 20 minutes? The age of the universe compared to 1 minute is a pretty large difference. What is going on here? The answer lies in the algorithm...it is a fractal hyper computation algorithm. This class of algorithm are created by and run natively on a fractal hyper computer. They perfectly match its algorithm mechanisms and framework. They evolve a solution (definition thread with lowest energy) in a lattice by the use of relativity and concurrence to pair nodes together. Quantum entanglement or "spooky action at a distance" is not needed by the ants, the ant colony simulations or the fractal hyper computer.

It would appear that the polynomial time computational speedup, that is often given as *the* big selling point for quantum computers, is an intrinsic and natural part of the massively parallel fractal hyper computer.

Problem solving (Chap 12 Algorithms) ... allows all solutions to be presented in a massively parallel lattice before a collapse occurs and the desired solution is selected. In this radically new computer architecture, memory and CPU are combined; the memory/CPU lattice *is* the computer!

"These advancements redefine the whole concept of what a computer is and how it works. The performance advantages offered by native fractal processing are huge and the computational advantage will lead to super-computers vastly more powerful than any that exist today. Once you understand the concepts of fractal computation, you will understand how mind blowing it all is. My invention of the fractal computer Patent Pending, I hope, will lead to the construction of one in the near future. I have figured it all out. The only step remaining is to build one."

"The first thing you need to understand is this. Throw way all of your preconceived notions about computers and bits and bytes. It will not help you one iota in understanding fractal computation theory, in fact it will just get in the way. To think in such terms will be counterproductive. Forget about conventional computer architecture memory and CPU. These are now ideas of the past and forget about binary. The new kid on the block is quaternary."
