lately publishing this post because it is in my space which subject to my time-domain constraint!!, sorry for that.
Starting from the final decision" self decree" which state that I will attend Wolfram Science Summer School isA. After long negotiation with my lovely parents and by use my close friends minds "as Grid Computing !" to compute this decree !!.
The arrangement was necessitate to spend some time with my parents before travelling... definitely to KSA, and then start the Wolfram's Thread. I went to KSA to sign the final manuscript of the travelling agreement ! byplay, perform Omrah and met my old friends. In those days some critical processes were processed for Egypt Revolution, I mean the election and Mubark's farce. I remember I was depart in 1st round election day. I have to admit that my reaction was counted as null object!... I was preferred to be void !, I mean the farce "sway of all". In the same context I can not participate in the 2nd round, that for another reasons which are, the first inability to vote due to the non-change of the place of election "official issue in the Egypt embassy" and the second which is affect my status till now.
The Loss of consciousness ..then fall (Health problem), strictly the fall side effect was"Herniated disc" which is one of the major causes to time delay for a lot of actions till this moment.
Coming back to Egypt from KSA to 48h only before depart to US for first time, hard real time system! which it's function are depending or Egypt Governmental Offices, I mean the shortage of respect for the time in government transactions.
Departing from Cairo airport before the election results announcement, I have to register an Quantum Emotional State. I was suffer from the side effect "Herniated disc". Which was still didn't diagnosed yet. I tried to call my parents in Riyadh from the airport... shocked by my mother call, she was very sad because of illogical reasons .. Dear Mama Plz check the signed agreement! I think I was succeeded to handle this hard situation. I have to mention that for a short time some Return Ideas were rose in my mind!.
My trip, was complicated because of late reservation. I was arrived to JFK airport.. american customs officer asked me about the Egyptian election results!... and told me that Morsy is the new President!. My first impression in the JFK Terminal 3 gate"I am here !! this is not strange at all"
I think it is under expectation! that caused by the Media which have a high Lyaponve Exponent from the real (I mean the deviation between the real and media picture when we consider that as nonlinear system!).The most remarkable observation was the crowd! someone set next to me, she asked me about railway station. Simply I am the wrong one! this is my first hour in US! She talked about some places,squares, streets and even famous buildings. She told me the mystery of this crowd "Gay Party Day!" sorry for using this in the context. One of my first view is this funny one.
Massachusetts "The Spirit of America!" as it's slogan. I was arrived to the final destination Boston City and taking a cap to Curry College. Cap driver asked me ..Sir... are you French?. I used vague replies just as verification of my ability of hiding out of context requests"canny handling".
Check-in and Pizza-Party, When I arrived to Milton Hall in Curry College campus I was take my luggage in my room and then attending the party. My simple comment is:
When you meet your respected advisor,mentors and colleagues in this friendly manner, it is one of a long list maybe list of lists of variations of academia and non academia cultures between here and there! this situation triggered me to thought again as Mohamed Daif discussions in this manner! I intend to write about that in separate topics isA.
Strange weather! It was runny, summer rain!.. I had to go to another building! Never mind, I was served in military the rain is not an obstruction!
I will list some memorable points in my project,
The Idea: In meeting room with Stephen wolfram, Todd Rowland and Vitaliy Kaurov,Stephen recommended a project to me and then I proposed another one, after discussions we postponed the decision based on Stephen advise till knowing what Leon Chua means in his work....
The challenge sense : During 2 days we discuss this issue and then finally we agree my presented project. That sounds a great challenge to me because this is my proposed project. All of all, I was very curious to know more about this topic, I was enthusiastic (as I claim).
Ambiguous in Prof. Leon Work: this came from the my lake of experience! .. I worked in the first phase till saturated just reading his works, books and related papers. I think one of the motivated actions was Todd small meeting he said that's enough... no more read start of your code!!. He was worried about timing (as usual) and I wonna to do my best (as usual too! ).
Problems and motivations: Lot of meetings with Vitalily we started the actual work on some simple concrete design. We faced a lot of problems, and he was do his best to guide me to the right direction. Complexity Index, Todd said to me if you reach to the formula to calculate this index that will be the major millstone from my point of view! When I did, I asked him for candy (as Joke) and he gave me one as reward. "I am in Milton hall if you need any help ....Vitaliy", this is a snapshot of a periodic email from Vitaliy.( just a practical proof ).
ooh I forget to tell you, may you need to reverse a word in the post title!

Preface:
First Welcoming session by the Boss ( as I like to call Todd Rowland) and time schedule and some confidential disclosure agreement. The Boss also told us the first homework ... which is published in my blog here.Strange weather! It was runny, summer rain!.. I had to go to another building! Never mind, I was served in military the rain is not an obstruction!
Lectures:
I will mention a paragraph for each Instructor.
Stephen Wolfram, it was my first time to met Stephen in person " he is Nerd Model!" I tried to collect/ connect the information flooding ! in his lectures .. In each lecture I remembered Stephen's TED talk expressions which are in depth now!. One of the recorded answers when I asked about the closed system and universe inspired by my friend Mohamed Atia "Snap", Stephen said it is closed form computation point of view and amount of information are limited (as I understand from his answer). His most amazing lecture which was about the higgs boson discovery.
The Boss (as I like to call Todd Rowland), his lecture at the first of list at all days. His smile said to you keep sprite, his frequent question about the projects progress. From my point of view, He was a great Electromotive force like for all students there. Gave me a candy when I got some important result, Actually very impressive person. The most amazing lecture was about the Future Based CA's Evolution or as he like to title Time travelling CA's.
Vitaliy Kaurov, the Russian scientist my respected mentor who gave me a lot of help and support regarding the school time. He said COOL in our discussions, that looks like the pronouncement of "FOUL Egyptian famous dish!". When I said Ok I have to go now, He said: NO you will not go to any place before finishing the tasks !! replied: is it the Russian leadership!. I am proud to work with Vitaliy. His most interesting lecture was "Polynomials Form Of CA Rules" also his notes and discussions in " Hernan's lecture Complexity in games".
Carlo Barbieri, the physicist who looks a very enlightened, who starts at the first time to discuss the "geeky ping requests like how we can model the fly motions !! and predict the movement path!" and asked about the light effects on motion as important state equation in the system model!!.. that is just lobby discussion!. He opened also lot of various files on the dining table like revolutions in Arab zone, religions vs. atheism, Italian cultures... etc. the conclusion as mention in first statement he is very enlightened. Carlo's lectures were funny and interesting the most one was the "Bayesian Statistics".
Hernan Moraldo, the gentle Argentine geek, who writes a line of Mathematica code complicated enough to take an exponential memory and time "for normal human!" to interpret this code!. He is very handy he gave me a lot of advices to be better in Mathematica coding " what I like to call the Syndrome of OPP to Functional paradigm". On the margin we talked about the software engineering topics and project management styles I think there were a lot of points of contention. His most superb lecture was "Complexity in games".
Matthew Szudzik, theoretical computers scientist, who remember us in each lecture Mr. Turing.. and his respected machine. I was discuss a Kolmogorov-Sinai Entropy and Kolmogorov compexity on his awesome lecture" Emulation and Irreducibility". In his lectures I was connected a lot of concepts and solidify the computer science background. here is one of his talks in TED.
Eric Rowland, the quiet scientist, who writes a simple clause as code!. He gave as the sense of skim and sailing in CA and TM world. I can not forget his lecture of analysing the CA's titled "Growth of cellular automata".
Paul-Jean Letourneau, Canadian , who present the live Experiments with a bold manner. He also presented an advanced Mathematica Training which was gave me a deep knowledge about Mathematica. I count his live experiments were the most useful lectures.
Taliesin Beynon, the brilliant continent fellow, who say it is easy... his interrupts in the lectures were useful. we discussed a programming issues and problems I found that easy as Taliesin said. One day, I entered the lobby, he asked me about my homework progress, I said not good I have a lot of TM and I still up a gum-tree! he checked my Extracted TM gallery and said OMG .. what is this? and asked Vitaliy about his comment which is the same OMG. I settle the problem in this moment!. His most elegant lecture was "Other Cellular Automata ".
Abby Nussey, 24/7 Coordination, who feel responsibility to make all are comfortable. She was my contact person in Wolfram "from the first emails to wrap-up the school and check out" , I remember that every request was replied in RECORD time. During the school, periodically I have to check my email to get updates from Abby, regarding the lecture timing changes, logistical issues, helpful information... I believe that she was coordinated the school perfectly. Her unique lecture was very useful about Wolfram Demonstration Project titled "Art of Demonstrations".
Erin Craig, her lectures about the previous school projects was inspiring speech definitely the CA's into music this was a surprising research direction to me.
Project:
I will list some memorable points in my project,
The Idea: In meeting room with Stephen wolfram, Todd Rowland and Vitaliy Kaurov,Stephen recommended a project to me and then I proposed another one, after discussions we postponed the decision based on Stephen advise till knowing what Leon Chua means in his work....
The challenge sense : During 2 days we discuss this issue and then finally we agree my presented project. That sounds a great challenge to me because this is my proposed project. All of all, I was very curious to know more about this topic, I was enthusiastic (as I claim).
Ambiguous in Prof. Leon Work: this came from the my lake of experience! .. I worked in the first phase till saturated just reading his works, books and related papers. I think one of the motivated actions was Todd small meeting he said that's enough... no more read start of your code!!. He was worried about timing (as usual) and I wonna to do my best (as usual too! ).
Problems and motivations: Lot of meetings with Vitalily we started the actual work on some simple concrete design. We faced a lot of problems, and he was do his best to guide me to the right direction. Complexity Index, Todd said to me if you reach to the formula to calculate this index that will be the major millstone from my point of view! When I did, I asked him for candy (as Joke) and he gave me one as reward.
