In the community thread no one seemed to be interested in discussion. So, I guess I'll just post the status. People also seemed very confused about what I was working on. So, maybe a little background.
Markram was involved with the Blue Brain Project back in 2005. He then gave a TED talk in 2009 where he described a large scale brain research project and stated that within 10 years, they could have a working brain simulation. Markram did generate interest and The Human Brain Project started in the EU in October 2013. One of the subprojects was:
However, the governing committee voted to end work on SP3 in early 2014. This caused a revolt among hundreds of scientists who were involved. An open letter was submitted with signature between July and September 2014. The result was that the governing committee of three was disbanded in February 2015 and it was decided that the new committee of 22 would not contain any members who were in charge of projects within the HBP because of conflict of interest. The current HBP goals include:
My work started one month after the HBP in November 2013. I made a breakthrough in August 2015 and have made progress since then. My work involves analyzing behavior and cognitive ability in organisms and developing a model of evolutionary development based on knowledge theory. Recently, I was able to set a ceiling for the complexity of the remainder of the theory which involves consciousness. I know that what is left is no more than 20% of the total complexity.
It should be understood that the HBP method is bottom up. So, whatever progress is made is functional or operational. However, my method is top down so 80% complete is still non-functional. In other words, even though progress with HBP is at a snail's pace, it is verified since each piece is functional. My work can't be verified until the theory is complete since it isn't functional until it's complete. All I can say right now is that the theory is consistent with evidence. Consistent is not the same as confirmed.

- Build multi-scale scaffold theory and models for the brain
- Develop brain-inspired computing, data analytics and robotics
