Longer bio, for a profile

Nathan M. Thornhill runs 3Rivers WebTech in Fort Wayne, Indiana, building websites, point-of-sale systems, and AI workflow automation for small businesses. He came to research from healthcare, by way of several years in long-term care as a nursing assistant, then a Medication Tech certification, then nursing home administration, and eventually ICU admissions. The question that followed him out of those rooms was what part of a person is actually the person, and where that lives physically. He taught himself the math and the engineering to go after it, and he has neither a PhD nor a computer science degree. His research covers complexity science, information theory, and how much pattern information is lost crossing a dimensional boundary. He founded the Institute for Complexity Science and Advanced Computing, which charges authors nothing to publish, and he built CiteStamp, a free tool that catches the citations an AI made up.
