I’ll speculate that my understanding of impossible differs. This partially because of life experience.
I once went to Semicon East in Tokyo where I met representatives of Nikon and Canon at the trade show for the very first time. The “hostility” hospitality parts of these shows is as slick as a slick thing. Within a few days I had off site meetings with the immediate subordinates of the vice president lithography Nikon at my hotel, where we shared tea bought by the hotel staff. They came to me. I had opened up a channel of communication direct to vice president level at Canon. A young nobody, gaijin, out of the blue, had gained access a fair way up. These meetings were followed up later at higher level. Part of my access to Canon came by sharing a smoke with a senior dude outside the conference. We met at the end of each conference session while they changed speakers.
People have suggested that I am shy…
I have belief that tricky things can be achieved.

Although I am in some ways an ex-tech entrepreneur living as a recluse, I have no money and am poor not rich. So despite what movie scripts might suggest I am not some mad evil genius about to wreak havoc on the world with my inventions.

It is unlikely any tech Bro will slide into my DMs and invite me into his or her inner circle of world domination. Because I do not have any DMs which in any case are Doctor Marten’s boots as far as I am aware. Very few people have contact details for me. Though someone could pop up at the gate in a black SUV. I’ll not hold my breath.
The dream this morning talks of circles in which I do not walk nor am I likely ever to again. There is zero incentive for me to develop any ideas for photonic quantum switches.
I am still wondering if it is possible to get a “telepathy” patent granted. It could be fun trying to find out. The jury remains out; it could open a can of worms.
Around the time I went to Semicon East we also met Gigaphoton to discuss EUV sources.
In 2024 they wrote up this:
“Gigaphoton Inc. presents a Sn-LPP EUV light source for mask inspection tools. This light source uses a minimum-mass Sn droplet generator with an in-line Sn fuel supply system, a double-pulse laser irradiation scheme with precise shooting control and a debris mitigation technology with H2 buffer-gas flow. During 1500 hours of continuous operation, a brightness of 120W/mm2sr at the plasma point, a stable EUV energy 3σ-value below 5% and a high availability of 99% have been obtained without reflectivity degradation of the EUV collector mirror. We are currently developing key components for higher repetition rate to further increase the brightness.”
The source which I designed could easily have become this product, but it did not.
It seems that I have ideas at the edge, the periphery of “important” technology on and off. My current notion is that if I have any more of these in dreams, I will simply type them up and publish them here, to get them “out of my system”.
It is one of those things. Although it is not absolutely impossible for me to pursue these ideas, the probability of success if near vanishingly small. I can’t be arsed. It is not my job.
Not sure what else to make of it…
