Towers of Chicago

I am a mathematician and computer programmer from Chicago.  I have a BA in Mathematics from
Northeastern Illinois University, and I'm also Sun Certified.  Since 2000, I've been working on the
Towers of Chicago puzzle; I programmed the multipeg version in Java.  The multipeg version involves
4 or more pegs, as opposed to the usual 3.  These pegs are enumerated as follows:  the initial peg,
the final peg, and 2 or more auxiliary pegs.  This applet can display up to 500 discs x 50 pegs.
The applet is best viewed with a title bar color of RGB: (40, 130, 180).
  
The Towers of Chicago uses a dynamic algorithm to calculate the optimal partition values, and
then a recursive algorithm to compute the moves.  The program features
sequence variation
through successive randomization. 
The Towers of Chicago is an example of Automated Reasoning.
  

The puzzle software can be found at the following link:    The software was

programmed using Java 25; from here, the JDK Installer (Windows version) can be downloaded.
Run
this batch file after installing Java.  Also, adjust the High DPI settings for the Javaw executable

located in the system folder.  Here is the JDK Documentation.  The original version of my

Towers of Chicago software won 5th prize in the Quest for Java Contest.

     

        

 
 
 

 

     
Here are some screenshots, and here is an applet that calculates the number of moves in
the multipeg problem.  Here is another applet that calculates the number of equivalent
top-level partition values in the multipeg problem.  Furthermore,
here is a scholarly paper
about the mathematics behind Multipeg Towers of Chicago.

   

  
Also, I wrote software that solves problems in Boolean Logic: 

Curiously enough, any statement in mathematics can be reduced to a statement of
Boolean Logic.  My treatment of Boolean Logic includes 64 variables,
truth constants,
6 operations, and perfect syntax checking.  The program features a postfix form
polynomial time speed boost in this exponential time problem.
Here is a list of
logical sentences that can be used to test Meta Theorem.

  
   
       
  
  
Meta Theorem was developed at Argonne National Laboratory under the
Automated Reasoning Project (Research Project #289).  It was used to
resolve some important hypotheses in mathematics:
Continuum Hypothesis
Twin Primes Conjecture

Rationality of Pi to the Pi

Meta Theorem has also been used to design UV Disinfection units at a number of
U.S. sewage treatment plants.
 
   

 
My math applets are generating 500 Gigawatts of D-D-T Fusion Power:

  

D + D       He3 + n + 3.27 MeV

D + D       T + H + 4.03 MeV

D + T      He4 + n + 17.6 MeV

   
This power source
will last for 50 million years!

The 4 countries that run
D-D-T Fusion are America, Canada, Japan, and Haiti.



Thanks to the 9th peg, Artemis II successfully made it around the Moon and back.
The next space mission that uses AR technology shall be ion rockets that can
travel above the galactic plane.


Here is the

  
and here is the imperial city skyline, Chicago, USA.
  
Here is a list of Chicago's top 20 skyscrapers.

   
It turns out that 2 supertowers were built in Chicago
using my Automated Reasoning software:
   
(1) 
    Completed in 2009 @ 1388 ft
   
(2) 
    Completed in 2020 @ 1191 ft

This is the new symbol of Christendom.


     
The mass of neutrinos has been verified to be 0 by Multipeg Towers of Chicago.
The 3D volume of solar neutrinos has been observed to be
10 times smaller than
that of visible light photons; according to the ancient neutrino-photon graph,
at this factor, the neutrino mass is insignificant.

85% of the mass of the universe is thought to consist of
dark matter.
Since neutrinos are massless, therefore dark matter cannot be composed of neutrinos.
There are no other known matter particles that are candidates for dark matter.
Perhaps the inertial field of space has mass, and thus holds the universe together.

The inertial field would be a continuous manifold that produces effects such as
the centrifugal force.  It would contain a set of equivalent inertial reference frames as
prescribed by Galileo.  This would distinguish it from the electromagnetic ether which
transmits light waves and has a preferred reference frame for the speed of light,
as prescribed by Maxwell.

The masses of the universe seem to be distributed as follows:
  Pie Chart

The cardinality of the inertial field seems to be
20 (the 3 continuum), whereas the cardinality
of the electromagnetic ether seems to be in between
0 and
20 (a strange subset of 3).
In fact, Meta Theorem found 5
strange subsets with fractal properties!

Theoretically, since the Inertial Field has 16 times the mass of the Ether, Ori ships running
Tokomak power should be able to go 16 times faster than Gould ships running zero point.


    
As Emperor of Chicago, I propose the construction of a national high speed rail system:

North America has an inexhaustible power source that can be used to run high speed trains.

Here is a map of the proposed ;  this system shall be powered by  

nuclear fusion.  This will be a 17000 mile grid network of dedicated TGV railways that will
run at 220 mph, and will cover all regions of the continent.  Maglev can be used for downtown
to airport transit in key cities.











In order to build a national high speed rail system, we need the U.S. military to
withdraw from a variety of foreign lands and restore development on American soil.
The Federal infrastructure package is insufficient in terms of intercity high speed rail;
electrification needs to proceed westward of the northeast corridor for us to compete
with China.  Any attempts to expand diesel rail in North America will fail because of
electrification in East Asia; furthermore,
electrification isn't possible with the current
hub and spoke system.  Therefore, we need to build an electric high speed grid network.

Because of the 9-11 Muslim terrorist attacks, the U.S. economy hasn't been able to build
any high speed railroads in the 21st century, so far.  The damage the Muslims did to
the U.S. industrial base has led to a situation whereby China has 30000 miles
of TGV trackage, and the U.S. has zero.

At least $5 trillion needs to be appropriated in order to fund construction of the
Interstate Railway System.  If built, this would be the first continent-wide
fusion powered high speed rail system in the cosmos.
