oh, so there's also a {{more footnotes}} tag |
Follow-up discussion about bold claims. |

:I've tagged the article with the <nowiki>{{more footnotes}}</nowiki> tag. The article makes quite a few bold claims, and I'd like to see specific references, preferably with page numbers (you can use the [[:Template:rp|rp]] template for that).

I understand your concern about the bold claims, and I appreciate your assistance in asking for the specific references, as I definitely want people to research them. I added hyperlinks to make this easy. There is an important back-story as to the reason the claims seem bold. What has happened is that the industry mainstream has diverged into intermediate disciplines that never were motivated to escalate DIY modeling as we were.
For example, it has been an embarrassment to the academics of the [[.autodiff.org|Autodiff movement]] that [http://www.metacalculus.com/fc77.html FortranCalculus], the 7th generation MetaCalculus modeling language, was demonstrated at their very first conference in 1991 on a Toshiba laptop. Consequently, in all their many publications, they don't even mention PROSE, which had been a commercial time-sharing language 17 years before, even though its example broke the dam of academic resistance to "non-symbolic" calculus for them to grow their movement. In [[The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions#Three_phases|Kuhn's scenario]], PROSE shifted the paradigm, and the autodiff people have been engaged in phase three normal-science puzzle solving and publication ever since. Yet nobody has yet built the escalator to automate modeling, or even seems to know how.
PROSE [http://www.metacalculus.com/doc/WISC/Rand_Symposium.pdf laid the groundwork for calculus hardware]. In the 1980s we designed and built this WISC hardware, and created two key patents, the latter becoming famous in the "patent-troll" [http://www.buildingipvalue.com/06US_Can/113_116.htm infringement case against Intel]. The reason we are coming forward in Wikipedia now is that we want to see this "metacomputer host architecture" emerge again as quad-core WISC elements of many-core RISC chips to support nested AD in hardware logic. Both of the patents have expired now, paving the way for open-source software-in-hardware development, [http://www.metacalculus.com/metacybernetics.html automated by Metacybernetics].
