From: "Charles L. Harper Jr." To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Project discussion & proposal document attached Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2010 11:15:58 +0000 Hi Jeffrey, Thanks for quick feedback! I can begin to work on issues you've raised if you decide to go forward contracting my services. Allbest, -Charles Harper PS. I've only touched on a few issues thus far via a few days effort only. I've been focused on the strongly encouraging input from Scott Aaronson and Seth Lloyd on the topic you set: "Cryptography in Nature." Both of them independently saw the topic as an innovative way to engage deep issues at the interface between computation (modem cryptography being within the theory of computation) and both physics and biology. Biology/evolution succeeds in all sorts of computationally hard tasks. It is not understood quite how and this area of inquiry is seen as a way to open up deep discovery agendas. This includes, on the physics side, new areas in quantum computation which, as you know is at the cutting-edge of code-cracking agendas today due to Shore's Algorithm and the way that future quantum computers using it could do fast prime-factoring. Also, molecular computation, especially via DNA, allows code-cracking-type computation possibilities. Your comments suggest there may be value in pursuing innovators who are at the cutting edge in immunology as well as in predator-prey competition-innovation cycles in (computationally-modeled?) evolution. On the issue of actual cryptography, the problem is that much of the serious action will be behind closed doors.
