It's 2010.
Here's my Salk web-page from way back.
Here's me giving a 30 minute talk Levels, Time and Models about Levels in Biology.
Here's me giving a 85 minute talk Emergence and Submergence in the Nervous System.
(The production on the latter is not so good, so here are the [slides]. Also, a few minutes in the audio drastically improves.)
What am I doing? If you watch either of these you will see.
There are 3 steps to uniting physics, biology and machine learning:
(1) Solve the time series density estimation problem
(2) Solve the sensory-motor problem
(3) Solve the levels problem
The clues to (2) and (3) lie in (1).
I am working on (1) and I think I've just about got it.
And unfortunately there's no way around it: we are going to have to absorb and augment the emerging non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and (cough) quantum theory.
Here's a [pdf paper that explains what I was thinking up till about 2008.
