About Douglas Moreman

DolphinSonar.xyz/DouglasMoreman.htm Simulations of Feature-Based Passive, sonar have been encouraging. Led to the concept of "growing" a "synchron." Three new provisisional patent applications are in. See dolphininspiredsonar.com General: I have been working out, over 13 summers, the imaging sonar of dolphins. My concepts work in computer simulations, though they do not yet produce results as good as the mental images that dolphins seem to enjoy. The Patent Office has granted one patent,"Echo scope," and is considering more. The methods ought to apply to imaging via echoes of sounds or of radar. Earlier, I coined "Ethorobotics" which was to be a cross-pollination of the natural intelligence of animals and the intelligence of robots. Find relevant links on dolphinsonar.xyz/DouglasMoreman.htm As a result of replicating the simulations-results of a famous article that had been published in a highly reputable journal, I think I know that and how Environmental Scientists are getting their models wrong. Making the error of von Neumann’s Elephant, they warp parameter-rich computer models to simultaneously fit the latest data and meet prior expectations. My dissertation in 1973 was Convex Topology, a new field of mathematics joining abstract convexity and topology. I never found a use for the field :) DOMES: Distributed Observatory of Many Earth Science. This has been a mental exercise shared with students at Southern U. and people met in coffee shops. What can be done via unobtrusive sensors places upon the nearly oil platforms in the US waters of the Gulf of Mexico. On the oil-platforms, signals from hydrophones can be sent to a sufficiently powerful grid of computers. The individual-specific sounds of mammals and the species-specific sounds of fish and shrimp can be triangulated upon and followed through their lifetimes. Other phenomena distributed in time or in space include hurricanes and boat traffic.
