BLUF: Clif High has developed computer-assisted reading technology allowing up to 2000 words per minute and internet agents to predict future events based on real-time language pattern changes. Their project has accurately predicted events like the anthrax attack and the Red River flooding.
Clif High has created a system of software internet agents capable of predicting future events by capturing near-real-time changes in language patterns from internet discussions. This software project captures these changes, assigns emotional values to complex content, and predicts changes in behavior based on how people use language at present time. Since 1997, High has accurately predicted future events such as the anthrax attack in Washington, the crash of American 587, the Columbia disaster, the Northeast power outage, the Banda Aceh earthquake, and the flooding of the Red River. Reports on extracted archetype information can be found on the High’s website at www.halfpasthuman.com.Source…
