<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Avenir, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am shocked and saddened to hear that we have lost the wonderful Karl.

and interaction to get there myself, but if his job here is done, the ball is in our court. Feel free to contact me with any insights you may have gained that can illuminate the “computational” paradigm. To my mind, he was describing something akin to the
NAND logic gate, and it was a quite profound missing piece.<span></span></span></font></div>
