My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.

The Connection Machines owned by the United States government laboratories were made available to me because they were considered impossible to program and there was no great demand for them at that time.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.

The 65,536 processors were inside the Connection Machine.

The Connection Machine was the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It is a complex supercomputer and it will take forever to completely describe how it works.

Due to financial reasons, I dropped out of school after eight years of formal schooling.
