Building an analog computer for a noisy world.

Digital computing has ruled for the past 60+ years. But real-world data is not noise-free — biological systems operate in an ultra-noisy environment. So we are building an analog computer with the architecture shown below.

Why analog

Digital computing has ruled for 60+ years. Biology was never noise-free.

Digital computing has ruled for the past 60+ years. However, real world data is not noise free. Biological systems operate under an ultra-noisy environment.

So we are building an analog computer with the architecture shown below. We have innovations across the stack.

Diagram: Information is an interactive, agent-centered process — showing information existing only through interaction, no observation without disturbance, information flowing through agents, entropy reduction requiring an agent, and cognitive/physical constraints making the agent local.
Cells compute. It should not be modelled from data. It has to be replicated as an analog computer
The architecture

The architecture, shown below.

Diagram: Information is an interactive, agent-centered process — showing information existing only through interaction, no observation without disturbance, information flowing through agents, entropy reduction requiring an agent, and cognitive/physical constraints making the agent local.
We differ from standard von Neumann Architecture because we need process continious signals and noise is very much part of the real data
Across the stack

We have innovations across the stack.

We have innovation in each part of the stack
