( A Small Sample statistic more powerful than Fisher`s Exact Test )
'79 : Unpublished Dissertation : What Psychophysical Thresholds Tell Us
See : CoSy/Views/PsychoPhysics Psychophysical experiments can only
define brain structure down to similarity classes . Ratios of external to
internal noise determine multi-dimensional normals almost everywhere .
: Solved Algorithms for minimal paths around N-dimensional Simplices
and Cubes , in APL . See : CoSy Logo
1980 : Consultant , Xerox , Rochester , NY .
Rewrote Xerox's Worldwide, Long-Range Market Forecasting System.
( Fast multidimensional numeric relational data base language created in APL )
: Founded Coherent Systems , Inc . First used CoSy as mailbox
name on I.P.Sharp APL network .
`81-`83 : Consulting , Including :
Rewrote Rochester Gas and Electric's Corporate Modeling System
used to support rate requests to New York State.
`84 : Came to New York City to work with Marvin Markowitz .
Created CoSy, an APL Hypertext Notebook for personal information
management.
Early customers of CoSy included :
A Senior Vice President of CitiBank.
Wyatt Tee Walker , founder of Freedom National Bank , served as
Chief of Staff to Martin Luther King and to Jessie Jackson.
A Senior Partner at Spicer & Oppenheim, a major international
accounting firm.
One of foremost actuaries in North America.
Bob continues to pioneer the integration of computers in the everyday business of life and has recently moved fundamental diary use to his nascent 4th.CoSy NoteComputing Environment returning to his previous K.CoSy mainly for accounting functions ( and that's a big "mainly" ) .
The APL family languages are mathematically based notations whose major market is high level financial systems . The Forth family languages are minimal extensible kernal dictionaries below which is only the language of the silicon . See CoSy/Language
In 2000-2001 , Bob moved from his circa 1984 APL-PC based CoSy into a new environment , K.CoSy , constructed in Arthur Whitney's K language which he considered the evolute of APL which has best implemented his own notions of structrual transparency ( see Language/LowDownObjects ) plus many features he never imagined . However , non-infix syntax and interests very divergent from the Whitneys led Bob in 2005 to start constructing his own APL informed system from the Forth up .
Bob continues to press forward the evolution of CoSy , to empower the individual to truly control his own machine - and life . Keep up to date by joining the CoSy.Forum .
In August 2002 , motivated by the experiences of the neighborhood , Bob had a vision for an extremely strong ,
symmetric structure appropriate for creating the tallest and strongest of life spaces . He computed the "part list"
to create this Conic All Connect in K.CoSy and this patent pending structure is available for licensing .
Bob is Trustee of the Mary E.J. Armstrong Trust , for discretionary benefit
of his retarded brother Jack . Family affairs have consumed a large
fraction of his time and energy over the last couple of decades .
Bob has become a Bleeding Heart Libertarian in recent years and was the Manhattan Libertarian Party drug affairs director and , in 2005 , their treasurer and webmaster , remaining webmaster even after moving to Colorado . He contributes the "Logic of Liberty" column to the MLP's SerfCity.US . See recent activity , editorials , and articles in the CoSy "blog" , Current which Bob began in 1997 .
See CoSy.com for everything else .
Bob lived at 42 Peck Slip , built in 1873 at the Fulton Fish Market , from Fall 1984 til Summer 2005
when he moved to the family "miniranch" on the edge of Woodland Park , Colorado .
