Welcome to QQRONA

QQRONA* is:

SOFTWARE

QQRONA models behaviour in ways that can be used for education and explanation; for for investigation and experimentation. The software can run models in real time, providing outputs in graphical form or as animated visualisations; and it accepts real-time inputs triggered by user action or external sources. It can also run complete experiments, including multiple trials and assays as needed, with detailed results reporting in the form of graphs, charts and statistical analyses.

The software comprises a run-time core, QQRONASynth, and an extensive development toolkit to support the design, build, testing and tuning of models, known as QQRONASynth Toolkit (QST).

The videos on this site show some examples of QQRONASynth and QST in action.

REVOLUTIONARY COMPUTER DESIGN

Digital computing has more than proved its value for processing binary data. But using it for handling analogue data (sound, video, scientific, medical…) comes at a huge resource cost. QQRONA proposes a highly performant alternative, based on analogue circuitry.

A PHILOSOPHY

QQRONA invites us to look at the world differently, using behaviour as the fundamental unit for describing and understanding our world. Traditional distinctions between data and program; subjects, objects and verbs; discrete and continuous measurements dissolve, while new patterns emerge which allow us to forge the links between the traditionally distinct views offered by the materialist sciences and the humanities.
