But, apparently, they're not paying you. Yet. You will get paid if 
you can do something that has eluded the planet's best educational 
institutions (the MIT Artificial Inteligence Research Lab springs to 
mind) for decades.

Fair enough. But read what he has written on the subject of "Perfect 
Data". Note that he had to have "a few wines" before he could come up 
with the subject material. All he is doing is brainstorming (while 
drunk) on how "biological thinking" is different from the mechanistic 
processes of computers. He isn't saying it's desirable, useful or 
possible in the way John Dowling wants to suggest. He probably thinks 
John Dowling is a total jerk or doesn't know enough about computer 
technology to have an opinion. He certainly does't seem to 
endorse "Perfect Data" in any way.

In John Dowling's own paper, he quotes a representative of 
the "Computer Industry Establishment" as saying "This is really just 
a Star Schema Database. I suggest you read a textbook John". He seems 
to think that the scorn of the establishment proves that he is onto 
something. Who does he think he is, Galileo?

Bail now, Kat, before you waste any more time! (But, as I said, if 
they are forking over millions, shut up and take it. I'll write you a 
paper extolling the virtues of "Perfect Data" myself.)
