A Function of Scale Draft 1, Ernest Prabhakar, 2013-08-08 The Sequel to "The Minion Machine" The Premise Real systems aren't linear, but have scales where the cost is fixed below, but astronomical above. The Goal Extend/Restrict the Minion Machine to capture what it means to operate at "optimal scale". The Concept Define a Multi-Minion Machine as a... Continue Reading →

The Action of Complexity Draft 2, Ernest Prabhakar, 2013-08-07 Inspired by a proposal from Christy Warren The Premise Using concepts derived from physics such as Energy and Time, we can gain insight into the nature of computational complexity. The Goal Devise the simplest possible physical system that captures the aspects of computation relevant to complexity... Continue Reading →
