Fixed it. But then again, the "s" is natural and the "the" less so. :p

I look forward to hearing from you. — Ennui Elucidator

I must admit I understood little of what you wrote, but I do have a suggestion. The letter is long and dense. I think you might have a better chance of Priest reading it if you shortened it to a one or two paragraph summary, maybe something like an abstract for an article. Then, if he shows interest, you can hit him with the more complete presentation.

I suggest that before you contact Priest, you could develop the idea a bit more by running it through ChatGPT. It will give you feedback on whether it judges the idea valid. It might also be able to code an actual model (although I don’t know.) Worth a shot, at least.

Agree. Short three sentence paragraphs and dot points are more likely to get it read.

:clap:

This happens in mathematics as well. Long involved arguments get turned over to grad students and end up disappearing. Make it short and concise.

Just a heads up, I am mindful of the sheer information and computational density of transistor based bi-valent logic implemented on the scale of 5nm or less. I really don’t have a response to the material science question of how we could achieve comparable computational/informational density, even after accounting for the computational gains of using multi-variate logic gates. It may be that physical/material constraints will render a true exploration of multi-variate logics forever in the future.

I'd put the first paragraph last. Start right into your project at the outset, so he can decide if he's interested or not, then provide the boring introduction afterwards. I think that the entire paragraph starting with "It strikes me..." is opinion-based, unnecessary, and cumbersome. Also, I think that the paragraphs starting with "Furthermore, by adding a richness...", and "Notwithstanding...", are redundant, opinion-based, and unnecessary as well.

In other words, setout concisely what you are doing, and why you want his attention, then introduce yourself, and hope for a reply.
