As I implied in the other post, I don’t remember much of what happened after December 2023 through around October 2025. I think I spent 30% of my time in this little Denny’s that I frequented, not too far from my place (absolutely lovely people who took care of me, every time I showed up there either wholely present or “only physically”). In any case, I continued working on certain aspects of AI orchestration and generalization, which culminated in 3 notebooks of research:
Almost all of these was written at Denny’s (Just that I hung out there that much). A lot of it probably became throw-away work; earlier work trumped/succeeded to its latters, and things resulted in the emergence of certain constructs which appeared potent… in the sense that one led to the other, which eventually led things and me being given the opportunity to have 1:1 time with the legendary Johannes Gherke(yes, THE Gherke who authored the infamous Database Management Systems textbook that students around the world (including myself) used in our undergrad; (some of) his work revolutionized Databases in ways as we know, culminating in the textbook)
I don’t know, but I wish I could tell JnX about it – he told me about Chomsky’s work on compilers and languages back in 2007, when I was in the 10th grade, and eventually told me about database systems, recommending Dr Gherke’s work. Back in Anna university – CEG, we all used this book. To be given a chance to present my research to him, personally… I just can’t tell you how amazing it was – this man changed parts of the world as we knew it. I’ll keep from mentioning what happened in the meeting… since, as JnX used to say: “Finish it, and talk about it later”. Shortly – he picked out one of the ideas I presented to him, and gave me instructions on what I could do… and more (which is what I'm hoping to share, God willing, sometime this year).
… while we’re on the same page, I’d like to share this other autographed paper I have. Yes, I met the man myself, shook hands with him, and… got this myself. I still can’t believe it xD
Yes, RSA – Ron Rivest, Shamir, Addleman. Rivest teaches at MIT, Addedleman at USC, Shamir… ended up being a billionaire because of his research. Very, very shortly – everything you do, from visiting a website, to sending passwords over a browser, to sending encrypted messages (that key used in the encryption, is first exchanged via a public-key cryptosystem) on your phone and such… all began with this legendary 1977 paper, which proved that public-key cryptosystems were even possible in the first place; that it was possible to communicate securely in an untrusted medium without needing a trustworthy medium to initiate for things. The most beautiful thing? (as JnX often said)… it’s so simple that a mere 8th grade school student could read it in one sitting and understand it. These autographed papers are among my most prized possessions. I sometimes wish I could take it back in time to hard times ~ Forum mall in 2013, and then to where JnX was… before he died.
Also, It’s a little over 10 years since my first paper… I’ve, since 2020, been invited to review and serve as TPC (Technical Program Committee) member for conferences (one of them, rather prestigious – an annual once since 1999 (shown on the stickied updates on the front page)… I serve as TPC for the official computer science journal from the University of Bahrain. In any case, these are usually not “certified”; they don’t take the trouble to “give you” anything beyond Edas’s own review statistics (which don’t include any direct IEEE conference communications, as I had prior to 2023), which you can’t see if you don’t have an account there:
However, an IEEE conference in Indonesia took the time to “send something”:
I’m thankful for this entire thing since… as far as I know, one can’t “apply” for something like this – they need to find your research and metrics of contributions (citations in patents, books etc) relevant enough for them to reach out… which, again… I wish I could let JnX and others from … times, know…
