-<li>From there comes following idea: Maybe every problem can be
-translated to geometry (use any shapes and as many dimensions as
-you need). Solution(s) to such problems would then appear as
-relatively simple search/comparison/lookup results. As a bonus,
-such geometrical *data storage* AND *computation* can be
-naturally made in *parallel* and *distributed*. That's what
-neurons in the brain appear to be doing ! :) . Learning means
-building/updating the model (the hard part). Question answering
-is making (relatively simple) lookups (geometrical queries)
-against the model.
