One of the more important recent events for me and also for mathematical research was my find of a new primary way to calculate the modular inverse, which was posted here May 5th 2017. With such a major research find was able to settle any number of questions in the social domain as well which helped me evaluate modern academia.
What is easily established is: is a major discovery without concern of validity, is a surprising discovery as a primary in this area is a surprise, and there is no justification possible for mathematicians of any type, either applied or pure to ignore.
Also the result in and of itself has pure and applied mathematical characteristics, so in essence, is a perfect litmus test across multiple categories.
And the mathematical academic world failed that test.
Will note my diligence as a researcher and discoverer did mean again at least sending to some academic mathematicians and also to the NSA, twice. No point in naming the few mathematicians though will admit at least some were at a University of California school.
There was no response from academics to emails. NSA responded form letter to first effort submitted through their website. Did not respond to second effort.
Regardless as is usual with my mathematical discovery, web search has been more revealing, and there are searches which have trended is the appropriate phrase telling myself, higher. Will not post the searches am checking in this post as that can impact their behavior which am still studying. Though have noted elsewhere as also experimented by posting on Reddit, which have discussed on this blog. And primarily attracted trolls.
This failure of the mathematical community is fascinating to me though. And DID explore more what I call the social problem as considered it. However, is kind of easy to understand from an evolutionary and anthropological perspective. Am not sure on that phrasing. Is easy if you consider humans as very much an ape species, which we are. Is too bad the truth revealed by science also has political tones. And our evolution beyond other ape species is shallow in many ways. Where intellectual behavior is involved with highest brain function, but am looking at purely naive territorial behavior.
Like it ignores my ability to just talk out situation on web. Also ignores likely impact across academia which will likely be vastly larger than just for mathematicians. That ignores potential impact for mathematicians for generations in academic world as well.
Academic process arrived to a large extent with Sir Isaac Newton in its more modern form. Though also much remains from prior am sure. Am not surprised a revisiting from top to bottom may be in order. Leverage from this result could be significant in that process.
Yup, may be an opportunity to remake the modern university. Cool! Time will tell.
To me as a mathematical discoverer though is an interesting challenge to mathematical truth.
Which definitely indicates shows behaviors rooted in lower brain function because higher thought of course realizes how this story will end. The mathematics will win.
In the meantime will admit situation allowed me to relax considerably. Cleaned up a few things including settling my 14 years or so leisurely consideration of coverage problem with algebraic integers, which also lets me champion my fascinating quadratic factorization number theoretic probing tool.
While also continuing other activities which actually consume most of my time now. Is not like there is much pressure on me from a research perspective. Now I have more practical concerns often. So I just get to enjoy discovered things. Is cool.
