EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Dr. Harris has spent more than thirty-five years as a science director and senior scientist for the development of cutting edge scientific research programs. Dr. Harris is presently Director of the Computational Neurology Institute at the Pacific Center for Advanced Study. His work includes theoretical and computational investigations and the development of Very Large Emergent Characteristics (VLEC), including Will and the synthetic mind for use in medical research and industrial applications. He has been Chief Scientist for Management Sciences, Chief Scientist and Member-of-the-Board of HDR, one of the leading Scientific and Architect Engineering companies in the U.S., He was also Western Regional Scientific Director for Technical Services for EG&G, Director of the Radiation Laboratories and Advanced Sensor Systems for EG&G, and Principal Scientist at McDonnell-Douglas, responsible for the technical direction of 4,000 scientists and engineers and Senior Research Director for Information-Theoretic Studies at PRC.

Dr. Harris has been involved in joint research with such noted scientists as Nobel Laureates Dr. Hans Bethe (research topic was classified) and Dr. Richard Bellman (research topic: fuzzy set membership in environmental importance functions) and pioneering physicists such as Dr. Robley Evans, author of "The Atomic Nucleus" (research topics: high energy particle scattering and Moments Method simulation of external dose due to particle-tissue interactions) and K.Z. Morgan head of the International Commission on Radiation Protection (research topic: Internal Radiation Effects in Human Lung Tissue). Dr. Harris was director of technical studies for projects involving information-theoretic models with Constance Franklin, sister of Norbert Weiner, pioneer in Cybernetics and co-worker with Albert Einstein (research topic: Transfer Model Simulations of Emergent Characteristics in a hyperspace) and Nobel Laureate, Vasily Leontief (research topic: Input-Output Econometric Analysis with Environmental Externalities). Dr. Harris also worked with Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman on an advanced model of the nucleus for use with high energy particle interactions. Dr. Harris also worked closely with Dr. Hans Mark, former director of Ames Aeronautical Research Laboratories and was also formerly Secretary of the Air Force. Dr. Mark is presently part of the technical arm of the George W. Bush presidency.

COGNITIVE AND NEUROLOGICAL STUDIES

Dr. Harris has been involved in many of the disciplines required for the study of the mind/brain since 1963. Since his directorship in the Pacific Center for Advanced Studies, Dr. Harris has generated 184 separate papers on the various aspects of the mind/brain, dynamism, computationalism as it applies to synthetic minds, the study of Will as a virtual system in the mind and various papers on information processing and the innate causes of innervation of those special operating systems and informational fields which lead to Will, Thought, Awareness and Self Awareness.

Dr. Harris has spent the last five years developing theoretical models which remove time as a force of nature from the mechanisms of neurons involved in both implicit and explicit Will, introspection and the mind itself. 

In 1997, he generated special theoretical models for the generation of operating systems within consciousness and which produce phase coordinated object and analogical contexts. Later in 1997, he discovered the cause of the Phi Effect.

In 1998, Dr. Harris constructed Mentality Diagrams associated with the construction of both aware and self aware systems. He applied these systems to the directedness of Will and to the effect of their presence on their centeredness of the mind.

From 1993 to the present, Dr. Harris has worked on the development of Circus of The Mind, integrating his 184 technical papers into a single volume, with added dialogues, essays and scientific expositional material on the mind/brain. This book represents a major work on the mind/brain. This book also has made a serious attempt to include the scientific facts as we know them today regarding clinical and computational developments in the search for the mechanisms involved in the generation of cognition.

SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES

Synthetic Will and Synthetic Consciousness in a Massively Parallel Environment

Developed a theoretical unified theory of Will and Mind using Hierarchical Surrounds combined with Folk Mentality Diagrams with autonomous multi-agents as part of the computational process and synthetic neural networks within special operating systems known as Archidynes, operating within special contextual information streams which utilize RF/CF interaction to produce awareness within a computational consciousness.

A Specialized Subneural Operating Environment within Macrocolumns in the Neocortex

Developed a special topological theory of neural architecture based on known information about functional anatomy of the neocortex and the relationship of Pyramidal Neurons within the layers of the neocortex and within macrocolumns. These operating environments were used to produce integrative Surrounds within a representational hierarchy of information known as a Hierarchical Surround which produces Awareness.

Information-Theoretic Models for Integration of Multi-Sensory Receptive Fields within Macrocolumns in the Neocortex

Developed special mathematical algorithms for use in the production of computational conscious systems with both Constructural and analogical information streams which are combined within Hierarchical Surrounds. Developed inferior/superior Surround relationships for use in aware systems, which generate multi-sensory informational streams computationally in a human-like conscious state.

Multi-State, Multi-Agent, Pre-War Likelihood Estimator

Also developed a computer simulation of ocean shipping and near-coastal on-shore activities using Multi-State, Markov chains and single step transition probability functions, derived using Monte Carlo techniques together with likelihood estimators to predict potential changes in multi-agent activities, shipping densities and in estimating the potential for pre-war buildup. This program was used to predict the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

Kinetics of Sprung Mass Automobile Dynamics and the Effect of Design Parameters On Accident Environments

Developed a complete simulative model of auto dynamics taking into account non-linear design parameters, tire characteristics, road conditions, suspension dynamics, engine mass distribution and the effect of cornering maneuvers. Developed special decelerometers which were activated by accident conditions and allowed determination of momentum, force and force dependence on time under non-elastic, elastic and special combinatory conditions for a sprung mass system under unusual design conditions. Determined that the Corvair changed to an over steering vehicle and became unstable over 40 miles per hour unless there was an eleven psi pressure differential between the front and rear tires. Determined that the Buick steering characteristics changed at 45 miles per hour and became an over steering vehicle. Used these models to determine special design conditions leading to human error in vehicular operation and control. Used these models and crash pad test programs to develop design specifications for first SAFECAR.

These fuzzy models were used to evaluate large projects such as MX. Directed tradeoff analysis of MX basing systems as affected by missile configuration performance characteristics and payload levels, including construction and related impacts.

Atmospheric Diffusion and Turbulence Computational Model (Used by Air Force at Vandenberg, NASA at Edwards).

Developed an atmospheric model to simulate dispersion of effluents in the environment for intermediate dispersion distances. The model included a variable boundary layer, temperature variations, including dynamic chemistry of effluents and variable dispersion coefficients.
