Alan Turing’s Prediction About Patterns (and the Dawn of Singularity)
[link to blogs.smithsonianmag.com]

"The scientists discovered that in mouse embryos, a molecule called FGF, or fibroblast growth factor, acts as a ridge activator, and SHH, or sonic hedgehog, acts as an inhibitor. When the researchers turned off FGF, the mice formed faint traces of the ridges that are normally made. Conversely, when they turned off SHH, the ridges morphed into one big mound. Changing the expression of one of these partners influenced the behavior of the other—just as Turing’s equations predicted.

Tragically, Turing would never know the importance of his contributions to developmental biology. The British government convicted him of homosexual acts in 1952 (for which it recently apologized), and punished him with chemical castration. Turing took his own life in 1954. This June is the 100th anniversary of his birth."

(this is alan turing year, btw....pay attention to his contributions to artificial intelligence..very appropriate for 2012)

more about him:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

he did all sorts of wild stuff.
but i know at the end of his life he was working on some osrt of theory for biological computers.
and for some reason, that info seems to be gone from the wiki page right now.

i could swear it was there.
i have to google it and see if i can find it elsewhere.

but it really fits in with what we are doing with genetics these days and combining bio with tech, such as nanobots.


on that article is a pic of an albino alligator.
i also read there was this weird place in wales or something that had a glass dome with albino alligators in it?
it sounded like something from the TV show Lost.

" Turing began toying with the idea of mechanical intelligence (what today has become commonly known as artificial intelligence). In a landmark paper published in the philosophical journal Mind entitled "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," Turing predicted, "One will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted."* This paper launched a debate concerning the very nature of intelligence and whether it could be quantified and measured. Turing's solution was to avoid as many difficulties in this problem as possible. Instead, he developed a simple test, known as the Turing test, that, if passed, proved the subject was intelligent.

The Turing test is really nothing more than a clever adaptation of a party game. The test has three participants. One of them, the interrogator, is placed in a separate room from the other two, one a male and the other female. Questions and responses are typed and passed under the door. The goal of the game is for the interrogator to determine through the line of questioning which of the interviewees is the male and which is the female. To further complicate the situation, the male is supposed to attempt to throw off the hunt while the female is supposed to aid the interrogator. Turing reasoned the role of the male could very well be played by a computer, and if the interrogator, a human, could not tell the which of the two interviewees was man or machine, the computer could be considered intelligent. After all, it is undeniable that humans are intelligent, so if a computer can fool a human into making him think it is also a human, the machine must also be considered intelligent. The Turing test is considered Alan Turing's single greatest accomplishment in the realm of artificial intelligence, and, to date, no machine has been able to pass the test."

"Most of us remember Alan Turing as a pioneer of computing and machine intelligence. However, one of Turing's most influential (and most cited) papers made a lasting contribution in a very different field of science, the area of theoretical biology.

Much of Turing's mathematical work focused on the formal description of the logical operations of human thought and the project to build intelligent machines that would embody the formal principles he discovered. Turing's contributions in this area will endure forever and he will always be regarded as one of the intellectual giants of artificial intelligence."

because this has to do with water which in the next link i will give you contains in it a video of "water" as "intelligence" from IBM and their new quantum computing.

intelligence depicted as "water"
it's the little cloud that floats by the "wisdom" pyramid and makes everything "magically" work.
