I am a trained manufacturing engineer.

If you are familiar with the Intelligent Design Theory, then you will know that I have been studying God’s Work, his designs.  Maybe.

My grant proposal was written by a Dr Andrew Parker although I worked away from his gaze at Oxford where he was located.  He’s an educated man (having met him) and his book “In a blink of an eye” had an impact on me.  You might say it led me astray.

The churchbells in Bath went off everytime I walked the streets at the oddest of hours.  Someone in the church in Bath has been watching me too.  There was Cliff Burrows the rampant lay preacher of the campus and Anne Widdicombe too and her influence in the local party.  I say this because it is clear to me that I was watched during my undergraduate years by persons unknown, and then they let me know it.  The there is the Vice Chancellor and her attitude to God and Nature’s designs, and Christianity in science itself!

Parker has written another book, about the Bible and its factual nature.  I do not know what to say to that.

As I said somewhere else here on the blog, the problem with reading biology papers is that they are written by biologist.  A pay off is that you get confronted with lots of different theories and things to think about.  Dr Andrew Parker’s work in the field of biomimetics and his publications, show how Biomimetics is very much integrated into the environment and history and pre-history.

I have also been in consultation with psychiatrists for the last 13 years, on anti-psychotics for what they describe as schizophrenia.  This could be taken to mean I am trying to tell you that I have had some strange experiences, psychotic delusions included.

My conclusion?  There IS a God but it does not look like a human or have human form.  It was not born nor did it create the universe.  It does not exist in Nature which continues in a chain reaction form dominating the earth.

Do I believe in miracles?  I believe in the Takoma Bridge.  Think about it.  Nature’s forces.

Two Dragonflies

One of the strange incidents that led me on this path was the fact that I obtained two and only two dragonflies for my collection a la a paper I was studying on the neck apparatus of those insects.  The first I found dead and alighted on the ivy on my then girlfriend’s conservatory and the second flew in her bedroom window and landed on a pillow before flying out again and down into the conservatory where I trapped and humanely killed and preserved it.  Two and only two with no effort at all.  Try that sometime in your back garden. When you need them.

This is when I knew I was in God’s hands and the path I trod was mine and his.

If there is a God and I say there is then he is munificent.

Publishing

As I say elsewhere publishing the three papers of my thesis required some blessing to occur and yet all went smoothly.  Including the intervention of facebook at a time when an academic portal was out of reach.

Maybe I am in league with the Devil.

Industry is by its very Nature not green, as we invest energy to create a form of order that is opposed to the natural thermodynamic qualities of the environment. So to look to Biomimetics for a green technological solution is a naive fallacy and inhibiting to the very science of biomimetics where there are rules and principles to be obeyed but they are not limited to the green solutions others seem to propose.

It is about the principles of chemistry and physics, not the policy of a politician. It is about the modelling of a system, not the shaping of a world, which must be in other people’s hands. Nature is about chaos, not process, self-assembly without apparent direction or control system, and does not serve the human race. If a biomimetic solution is found to nuclear waste disposal from power plants, would you call it “green”? Or would you call it chemistry? Or physics? Is a mutation green?

This is a fundamental that is misunderstood by most writers as they adopt populist theories in order to sell, not knowing the true value of it as they ignore avenues open to research in other fields that must prove that biomimetics is useful to mankind but not secular. It does not hold that Intelligent Design is about Nature. It is about perception.

A new definition of Biomimetics could be “the modelling of biological processes”. This is a coverall for all biomimetic processes witnessed in the laboratory as well as organic processes due to Nature.

The Biomimetic studies of flight and adhesion can be considered as two different systems for analysis, as a dynamic and a static system respectively. To reverse engineer studying flight we must take Nature into the laboratory and study it in a manner that may be transferred to the manufacturing shop floor. This means a methodology needs to be developed that reliably establishes the trends of flight and its parameters.

It is simple to understand that robotic flight will require robotic control and the use of actuators. Once we understand the pattern of movement, we can model this through Simulink(c) to produce an integrated circuit that will do what we want i.e. produce the motions of flight. All we need therefore is a high speed projection of a bee in flight, digitising its wing flutter to mark changes in angle of attack and yawl etc.

Now that Hirt et al [1] have shown it possible to produce structures of the order of size and shape of real instect tarsii in copper, it should be possible to begin the inspection of the surface interactions between small hooks and their substrates.

The underlying hypothesis behind the exploration of the detail of papers [2] and [3] accepts the viability of using cladistic methods to arrive at a scenario where a structure that has survived the “evolutionary sieve” is selected, to quote Nicklaus et al [5], over the use of Linnaeus or other classification methods which can be seen as insignificantly better when it comes to evolutionary manifestations of properties and/or structures. In other words all evolutionary models are all imperfect and so it is that the solution must indeed be imperfect too if it is to reflect the true nature of the Natural World i.e. testing is necessary before any firm conclusions can be reached. The use of the hook is a not very interesting thing, relatively. But it is also the ideal way to start with the designing of micro-sized (~100micron) objects because of the over-hangs of the hooks, which are of the minimal complexities to test the programmer and they can be assembled into machine-like components for manufacture. Their origins are a little too old for one to understand their development since the designs are based in evolutionary theory, which is utilised in order to identify which structures are viable and of suitable length and strength to be of use in the manufacture of computer components to attach to PCB’s (printed circuit boards).

t (Life) is about the principles of chemistry and physics, not the policy of a politician. It is about the modelling of a system, not the shaping of a world, which must be in other people’s hands.
