One thing which I am really proud of myself of doing something substantial and fruitful was the set of 4 journal papers I authored along with my professor at IIT. One of those papers dealt with the development of a Fuzzy Logic Controller to be used in biped robotics. The controller was designed to predict the output when you feed a set of input parameters on the basis of historical data. So the controller would give you something like a mathematical function:
y = f (x1, x2,...,xn)
I was ruminating on the current issue of corruption which has off late grappled the nation when this idea of designing a new controller struck my mind. In this case if we consider Corruption as the output the inputs would be:
x1 = greed,
x2 = poverty (or rather higher rich-poor divide),
x3 = lassitude,
x4 = ?
.
.
.
xn = ?
So, if we want to control the output " Corruption", we need to study the interaction and effect of all the aforesaid inputs (most of them are still to be discovered though) and then try to tame them...
