Hi George,
A roadmap could be a very good idea. I will think about it.
I will keep on your level notions:
-kids
-grandmother
-colleagues
(But not in any normative sense: I know kids who are better in math
than colleagues, and I know a family where the computer and the net has
been installed by the grand-grandmother! So here each one should judge
by him/herself on which level they to feel to be.
But a roadmap, some summaries ... are in need, sure. Not so easy of
course. Just let me think about it.
Note also that if I explain in plain english, what I say could appear
as a little weird, that is why I tend to be technical. And also, I
don't know much people who can swallow both Godel/Church... and
Everett/Deutsch ... Quantum information science can help, but this is a
bit tricky by itself when you want to be enough precise, and still a
long way from Godel-lobian notions.
In any case thanks for letting me know when I get too much technical.
Thanks to Norman who tries sometimes to convey a similar message, and
thanks to Tom for enjoying apparently the more technical posts ....,
and thanks to 1Z for playing the role of the skeptical one, and thanks
to all of you, especially Wei Dai, for the kind patience.
I will think about some roadmap, but also about some books which could
provide helps.
Feel free to say more on your "relativity"-information theory. Everyone
can talk I certainly don't want to monopolize the threads (but then I
got a result and I like to share with motivated people ...)...
Now I will leave my office before I liquefy completely ....
