α. About me

An organic self learning algorithm trying to simulate , analyze & understand how things work by constantly  trying to work at a high Reynolds number flow of thought where the characteristic length is the size of the human brain, the velocity being the rate at which I

do work even though the density is as small as the  ratio of  the what is known to what is unknown  and  the  viscosity being  as high as the  physical constraints  in one's life that cause turbulence in the mind, affecting the laminar streamlines of thought itself !
