Do you think that their theory is relevant to artificial intelligence and/or the theory of pattern recognition? - Thoughts on the significance of the triangle and why it seems to be one of if not the strongest 2d shape? - Are quasicrystals useful? - What does it mean to map a brain? Why is there a race to map the brain correctly?
