RANDOM RANTDUMB Call it Quantum and you get people to go
"oooh!".* sigh I read this.* Interesting read.* Looks very
useful.* COULD it be called Quantum annealing?* Sure.* But it
could also be called, *"HEY LET'S USE 2 VARIABLES instead of 1
in the height dimension and make it shakey (quantum) so then we
get... THREEEEE DIMENSIONS OOOOOOooooOOOooOOOo I hate BS wrapped
up in spooky fundable terms like Quantum and Spin Glass
(everybody loves Spin Glass now - all the rage; I like it too
because it has... MEMORYYYY PROPERTIESSS.... just like
USSSSSSssss".... [ so do a lot of things that we humans have*
trouble writing the formulas to get math to predict ... because
_MATH is fundamentally one dimensional itself ... ya-know... the
*number line?* - and we get all spooked over Pi because it's
circle drawn in TWO DIMENSIONSS........ and doesn't fit in 1
dimension and cracks the number line.* duh . ] Not knocking math
or the research... just the spookiness factor of it.* It's still
cool but JUST CALL IT RANDOMIZED at key points instead of
quantum and skip the BS.
