GLOSSARY:
anima (n.) : the measurable soul.
borehole (n.) : (of chronotics) a narrow tunnel of eliminated chronal strata now occupied by undecided future spacetime with a new “present” layer at its bottom. This new layer is causally isolated from the rest of present spacetime.
cenote (n.) : a sinkhole in chronal strata.
compact (adj.) : (regardinrg noöses) a mind that wields a “life sized” scale of computational power, i.e. comparable to local wildtype brains.
chronal strata (n.) : sedimentary past spacetime.
chronotics (n.) : the study of the growing block universe.
colic (adj.) : possessing wetware.
large (adj.) : (regarding noöses) a mind that wields above a wildtype scale of computational power, such as via a tight network of compact minds.
mesh (n.) : a type of colic wetware that requires permanent encasement and life support.
mustard (n.) : a seedlet specialized in detecting and filtering semiohazards.
noösis (n.) : (plural: noöses) a mind with an anima.
nootics (n.) : the science of mental architecture.
seedlet (n.) : sapient artificial intelligence.
semiohazard (n.) : a set of information that, when encoded into a stimulus, may evoke a destructive response in a perceiver.
Throneroom (n.) : the coronal home planet.
wildtype (adj.) : (regarding genetic or nootic condition) occurring in nature.

Fujio Masuoka invented flash memory at Toshiba in the 1980s, the storage inside most phones today. Forbes reported Toshiba gave him only a tiny bonus and later tried to demote him. Intel then built a multibillion-dollar flash business from related flash technology.

The Trump administration said Friday that it had taken a 10% stake in Intel, the president's latest extraordinary move to exert federal government control over private business.
The United States will not seek direct representation on Intel's board and pledged to vote with the current Board of Directors on matters requiring shareholder approval, "with limited exceptions," according to a joint release from the Trump administration and Intel. The move also comes as the United States vies with China in the race to dominate the artificial intelligence industry.
