Which practical problems can it solve?
Can it understand a CSP?
Can it solve CSP instances?
Which input format would be used?
Which CSP instances can it solve?

That's just an observation based on experience with projects that promised the world, yet had not delivered. If your project turns out to be different, I'll be the first to apologize.

I have never doubted that you are who you say you are. I am not even doubting your award. Why would I? I am just saying that there is no credible research with your name on it.

Surely, a "clever" sod like you would know that it is a crime to abuse the term "patent pending."

I do not know that. Then again, I most likely live in a different country with different take on patents. Here it would probably be a civil issue, not a criminal one. Also, in a world of software, patents were awarded for a bunch of stupid things (see 1-click patent), so having a pending patent does not say that much.

What hardware/OS (if any) will you use? Depending on the answer: do you plan to submit PR to extend plattform support of the compiler as necessary? Compared to your agenda full D support on Android/iOS/bare metal may be easy... Anyway a large codebase may be a good compiler test for ARM (or whatever you use).

It's you, you've made it:

I've always trusted you. always.

I'll be careful not to jeopardize the mission.

I rate this troll 8 / 10. Many keks were had. Much wow.

Maybe we should create a new concept: Software from Nigeria.

You only need a fashionable looking website with lofty promises, some googlable discussion on a forum for some obscure programming language, a mention of patents pending, and maybe an interview on some 2nd rate tech site.

What else would you need for credibility to whet the appetite of amateur investors, lottery winners, or heirs.

I am certain this is not the last time we will see this kind of "entrepreneurship". But it makes me sad to see D dragged into it.

If there were any doubts left that this is a poor scam attempt then this should lift them completely.

My thoughts exactly.

Reminds me of a (print) article I came across one time. It was about the idea of AI consciousness, but the whole article was based on one hell of a gigantic assumption: That consciousness is a natural consequence of a sufficiently large neural net. It's a fine and interesting idea, but PURELY speculative, with zero evidence and not even any way of testing for evidence since, like you say, we can't even figure out the first thing about consciousness as it relates to ourselves and each other, let alone to machines.
