CV – 2001/3 – Personal Projects

May ’01 – Jan ’03    Personal Projects

After the Home Office contract I was at last able to dedicate considerable time to a number of private projects.

• By invitation, participated in the work of the Complexity Group (which researches, develops and models the application of Complexity theory to business and management practice) at the London School of Economics
• Further assignment for Philosophy Now magazine, interviewing Prof. Igor Aleksander of Imperial College about his work in Artificial Intelligence
• Continued research at the British Library into astronomical mythology around the world over the last ~5,000 years (with linguistic tangents, e.g. Inuktitut, Bushman) as underpinnings for a book (now completed).
• Pursued other investigations in mathematics (the Collatz problem), complexity (repeating and re-analysing Kauffman’s early investigations into Random Boolean Networks) and physics (developing in Visual Basic an efficient n-body simulator, primarily to model and  investigate virial cooling in globular clusters).
