    This paper focuses on super helical memory system's design, 'Engineering, Architectural and Satellite Communications' as a theoretical approach of an invention-model to 'store time-data'. The current release entails three concepts: 1- an in-depth theoretical physics engineering of the chip including its, 2- architectural concept based on VLSI methods, and 3- the time-data versus data-time algorithm. The 'Parallel Time Varying & Data Super-helical Access Memory' (PTVD-SHAM), possesses a waterfall effect in its architecture dealing with the process of voltage output-switch into diverse logic and quantum states described as 'Boolean logic & image-logic', respectively. Quantum dot computational methods are explained by utilizing coiled carbon nanotubes (CCNTs) and CNT field effect transistors (CNFETs) in the chip's architecture. Quantum confinement, categorized quantum well substrate, and B-field flux involvements are discussed in theory. Multi-access of coherent sequences of 'qubit addressing' in any magnitude, gained as pre-defined, here e.g., the 'big O notation' asymptotically confined into singularity while possessing a magnitude of 'infinity' for the orientation of array displacement. Gaussian curvature of k(k<0) is debated in aim of specifying the 2D electron gas characteristics, data storage system for defining short and long time cycles for different CCNT diameters where space-time continuum is folded by chance for the particle. Precise pre/post data timing for, e.g., seismic waves before earthquake mantle-reach event occurrence, including time varying self-clocking devices in diverse geographic locations for radar systems is illustrated in the Subsections of the paper. The theoretical fabrication process, electromigration between chip's components is discussed as well.Comment: 50 pages, 10 figures (3 multi-figures), 2 tables. v.1: 1 postulate entailing hypothetical ideas, design and model on future technological advances of PTVD-SHAM. The results of the previous paper [arXiv:0707.1151v6], are extended in order to prove some introductory conjectures in theoretical engineering advanced to architectural analysi

    학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 자연과학대학 화학부, 2019. 2. 남좌민.Supported lipid bilayer is a two-dimensional lipid bilayer self-assembled on a hydrophilic substrate with two-dimensional fluidity. By introducing plasmonic nanoparticles with strong scattering signals into the supported lipid bilayer, it is possible to observe and track thousands of nanoparticles and their interactions at a single-nanoparticle level in real time. In this thesis, I expand the nanoparticle-lipid bilayer platform by engineering plasmonic nanoparticles to construct a complex nanoparticle network system and develop multiplexed bio-detection and bio-computing strategies. Chapter 1 describes a supported lipid bilayer platform incorporating plasmonic nanoparticles. Section 1 introduces the optical properties and biosensing application of plasmonic nanoparticles, and Section 2 introduces tethering technique, characteristics, and advantages for introducing nanoparticles into supported lipid bilayer platforms. In Chapter 2, I introduce a system that can distinguish nine types of nanoparticle assembly reactions occurring simultaneously by introducing optically encoded plasmonic nanoparticles that scatter red, blue, and green light into supported lipid bilayers. I performed multiplexed detection of nine types of microRNAs, which are important gene regulators and cancer cell biomarker. In Chapter 3, I develop a bio-computing platform that recognizes molecular inputs, performs logic circuits, and generates nanoparticle assembly/disassembly output signals. Complex logic circuits are designed and implemented by combining two strategies: (i) interfacial design that constructs a logic circuit through DNA functionalization of the interface of nanoparticles, and (ii) a network design that connects assembly/disassembly reactions. In Chapter 4, I develop a bio-computing calculator capable of performing arithmetic logic operations. I use the nanoparticle-lipid bilayer platform as the hardware that stores, processes, and outputs information, and constructs software that contains logic circuit functions through DNA solution. An information storage nanoparticle stores solution-phase molecular input signals on the surface of nanoparticles. The bio-computing lipid nanotablet recognizes an arithmetic logic circuit programmed with DNA information and generates outputs a result of a kinetic difference between nanoparticle assembly reaction according to the storage state of the input signal.지지형 지질 이중층은 친수성 기판 위에 조립된 2차원의 지질 이중층으로 2차원 상의 유동성을 가진다. 지지형 지질 이중층에 강한 산란 신호를 지니는 플라즈모닉 나노입자를 도입하면 수천 개의 나노입자와 그 상호작용을 단일 나노입자 수준으로 실시간 관찰이 가능하다. 본 학위논문에서는 나노입자-지질 이중층 플랫폼에서의 나노입자 종류 및 개질 방법을 확장하여 복잡한 나노입자 네트워크 시스템을 구성하고, 바이오 검지, 바이오 컴퓨팅 응용을 개발한다. 1장에서는 플라즈모닉 나노입자가 도입된 지지형 지질 이중층 플랫폼을 설명한다. 1절에서 플라즈모닉 나노입자의 광학적 특성과 산란신호를 이용한 바이오센싱 응용 연구를 소개하고 2절에서는 지지형 지질 이중층 플랫폼에 나노입자의 도입 방법, 특징, 장점, 분석방법 등을 소개한다. 2장에서는 빨강, 초록, 파랑 빛을 산란하는 플라즈모닉 나노입자를 합성하고, 지지형 지질 이중층에 도입하여 동시에 일어나는 9종류의 나노입자 결합 반응을 각각 구분할 수 있는 플랫폼을 개발한다. 이를 이용하여 세포 내 중요한 단백질 번역 조절물질이자 암 바이오마커인 마이크로RNA를 동시 다중 검지한다. 3장에서는 지지형 지질 이중층 상에 도입된 나노입자를 다종의 DNA로 기능화하여 특정 DNA 분자 입력 신호 인식, 논리회로 수행, 나노입자 결합/분리 출력 신호 생성하는 바이오 컴퓨팅 플랫폼을 개발한다. 나노입자의 계면을 DNA로 디자인하여 논리 회로를 구성하는 인터페이스 프로그래밍과 나노입자의 결합/분리 반응을 연결하여 네트워크를 디자인하여 논리 회로를 집적하는 네트워크 프로그래밍을 조합하여 복잡한 논리 회로를 설계하고 수행한다. 4장에서는 지지형 지질 이중층에 도입된 나노입자 표면에 용액 상 분자 입력신호를 저장하는 정보 저장 장치를 개발하고 모든 종류의 산술논리연산을 수행할 수 있는 생분자 계산기을 개발한다. 나노입자-지질 이중층 플랫폼을 정보저장, 수행, 출력하는 매체인 하드웨어로 이용하고, DNA 분자 조합 용액을 산술논리회로 기능을 담고있는 소프트웨어로 구성한다. 바이오 컴퓨팅 칩은 DNA 정보로 프로그래밍된 산술논리회로를 인식하여 입력신호의 저장 상태에 따라 나노입자 결합 반응에 반응속도에 차이를 일으키고 결과를 출력한다.Chapter 1.

    The free energy principle induces neuromorphic development

    We show how any finite physical system with morphological, i.e. three-dimensional embedding or shape, degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the constraints of the free energy principle, evolve over time towards a neuromorphic morphology that supports hierarchical computations in which each ‘level’ of the hierarchy enacts a coarse-graining of its inputs, and dually, a fine-graining of its outputs. Such hierarchies occur throughout biology, from the architectures of intracellular signal transduction pathways to the large-scale organization of perception and action cycles in the mammalian brain. The close formal connections between cone-cocone diagrams (CCCD) as models of quantum reference frames on the one hand, and between CCCDs and topological quantum field theories on the other, allow the representation of such computations in the fully-general quantum-computational framework of topological quantum neural networks

    Nanotechnology and preventive arms control

    Full text link
    "Nanotechnology (NT) is about analysis and engineering of structures with size between 0.1 and 100 nanometres (1 nm = 10 -9 m). At this scale, new effects occur and the boundaries between physics, chemistry and biology vanish. NT is predicted to lead to stronger but lighter materials, markedly smaller computers with immensely increased power, large and small autonomous robots, tools for manipulation of single molecules, targeted intervention within cells, connections between electronics and neurones, and more. In recent years military research and development (R&D) of NT has been expanded markedly, with the USA far in the lead. US work spans the full range from electronics via materials to biology. While much of this is still at the fundamental level, efforts are being made to bring applications to the armed forces soon. One quarter to one third of the Federal funding for NT goes to military R&D, and the USA outspends the rest of the world by a factor 4 to 10. NT applications will likely pervade all areas of the military. Very small electronics and computers will be used everywhere, e.g. in glasses, uniforms, munitions. Large-scale battle-management and strategy-planning systems will apply human-like reasoning at increasing levels of autonomy, integrating sensors, communication devices and displays into an ubiquitous network. Stronger but light-weight materials, more efficient energy storage and propulsion will allow faster and more agile vehicles in all media. NT-based materials and explosives can bring faster and more precise projectiles. Small arms, munitions and anti-personnel missiles without any metal can become possible. Systems worn by soldiers could monitor the body status and react to injury. Systems implanted into the body could monitor the biochemistry and release drugs, or make contacts to nerves and the brain to reduce the reaction time, later possibly to communicate complex information. Autonomous land vehicles, ships and aircraft would become possible mainly through strongly increased computing power. By using NT to miniaturise sensors, actuators and propulsion, autonomous systems (robots) could also become very small, principally down to below a millimetre - fully artificial or hybrid on the basis of e.g. insects or rats. Satellites and their launchers could become small and cheap, to be used in swarms for earth surveillance, or for anti-satellite attack. Whereas no marked change is expected concerning nuclear weapons, NT may lead to various new types of chemical and biological weapons that target specific organs or act selectively on a certain genetic or protein pattern. On the other hand, NT will allow cheap sensors for chemical or biological warfare agents as well as materials for decontamination. Most of these applications are ten or more years away. Using criteria of preventive arms control, potential military NT applications are evaluated. New conventional, chemical and biological weapons would jeopardise existing arms-control treaties. Armed autonomous systems would endanger the law of warfare. Military stability could decrease with small distributed battlefield sensors and in particular with armed autonomous systems. Arms racing and proliferation have to be feared with all applications. Strong dangers to humans would ensue from armed mini-/ micro-robots and new chemical/ biological weapons used by terrorists. Negative effects on human integrity and human rights could follow indirectly if body manipulation were applied in the military before a thorough societal debate on benefits, risks and regulation." (excerpt)"Die Nanotechnologie (NT) befasst sich mit der Untersuchung und Gestaltung von Strukturen, die sich in Größen zwischen 0,1 and 100 Nanometer (1 nm = 10 -9 m) bewegen. Bei dieser Größenordnung treten neue Effekte auf, und die Grenzen zwischen Physik, Chemie und Biologie verschwinden. Die Experten sagen voraus, dass NT festere und gleichzeitig leichtere Materialien, erheblich kleinere Computer mit unermesslich gesteigerter Leistung, große und kleine autonome Roboter, Werkzeuge für die Handhabung einzelner Moleküle, gezielte Eingriffe in Zellen, Verbindungen zwischen Elektronik und Neuronen und anderes mehr hervorbringen wird. In den letzten Jahren ist die militärische Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) im Bereich der NT erheblich ausgeweitet worden. Im weltweiten Vergleich liegen die USA deutlich in Führung. Dort wird die gesamte Bandbreite von Elektronik über Materialien bis hin zur Biologie bearbeitet. Auch wenn vieles davon noch Grundlagenforschung ist, gibt es dort doch heute schon Vorbereitungen, den Streitkräften bald Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ein Viertel bis ein Drittel der Regierungsausgaben für NT auf Bundesebene steht für militärische FuE zur Verfügung, und die USA geben 4 bis 10 mal so viel dafür aus wie der Rest der Welt. NT-Anwendungen werden alle Bereiche des Militärs durchdringen. Hierzu zählt der umfassende Einsatz sehr kleiner Elektronik und Computer, z.B. in Brillen, Uniformen, Munition. Komplexe Schlachtführungs- und Strategieplanungssysteme werden zunehmend autonom funktionieren und menschenähnliche Überlegungen anstellen, wobei sie Sensoren, Kommunikationsgeräte und Anzeigeeinheiten zu einem allgegenwärtigen Netzwerk verbinden. Festere und dabei leichtere Materialien, effizientere Energiespeicher und Antriebe ermöglichen den Bau schnellerer und beweglicherer Land-, Wasser-, Luft- und Raumfahrzeuge. Des weiteren können NT-basierte Materialien und Sprengstoffe zur Herstellung schnellerer und genauerer Geschosse verwendet werden. Denkbar sind metallfreie Kleinwaffen, Munition und Antipersonen-Flugkörper. Zwar ist bei Kernwaffen keine große Veränderung zu erwarten, NT kann aber zu verschiedenen neuen Arten von chemischen und biologischen Waffen führen, die auf spezifische Organe zielen oder selektiv auf eine bestimmte Eiweißstruktur oder auf ein genetisches Muster hin aktiv werden. Andererseits wird NT billige Sensoren für chemische oder biologische Waffen sowie Materialien zur Entgiftung zur Verfügung stellen. Mit den meisten dieser Anwendungen ist erst in einem Zeitraum von zehn oder mehr Jahren zu rechnen. Mögliche militärische NT-Anwendungen müssen unter den Kriterien der Präventiven Rüstungskontrolle bewertet werden." (Textauszug

    Transdisciplinary Creative Ecologies in Contemporary Art within Emergent Processes

    This research is composing in the moving with affective speeds and rhythms, instead of unfolding direct and in linear ways. It is important to come across different planes of composition in movement. There are so many planes of voices spinning around in relation. Research-creation seems as forms of relations and an invitation to appreciate the collectivity at the heart of thinking. The many entering-into relation within a differential thought in the making of its own. Emergent properties in non-human interactions, such as those presented in Steven Shaviro ́s Against Self-Organization (2009) and Brain Massumi, are symptomatic of how individualities relate to creative tendencies in relation to the human, non-human dynamism, and emergence as a state or condition. Emergence can be co-joined around the notion of self-organization, “the spontaneous production of a level of reality having its own rules of formation and order of connection” (Massumi, 2002). Self-organization emphasizes on matter-energy which Gilles Deleuze conceives of as the difference or line variation running through all things. Therefore, Deleuze focuses on immanence, how new forms are created, and on the ways in which material bodyings self-organize rather than being forced to do so. Moreover, the research in this dissertation seeks to generate a charged environment where human and non-human emergent processes activate creative encounters that co-create and co-shape each other (Delueze and Guattari, 2003; Stangers, 2017; Manning 2009). This study investigates how complexities and relations expand as an attractor of potentialities, that informs a matrix as movement, and recognizes nodes of the matrix as connections for such movements. My research is transdisciplinary, where experimental work interconnects art, science- zoology, architecture and process philosophy, and conjoins such with non-human emergent processes which are complex systems that activate intermodalities in their doing. These areas of research focus on, thread processes and transdisciplinary art doings.Textiles seen as intensities, transformations, movements, multiplicities of sensations experienced by familiar bodies in resonance with the world in acts of co-composing
