America’s New Van Cliburn: Savant Jason Padgett

The Sputnik Moment of Intelligence: Why America’s Quantum Information Holography (QIH) Surpasses China’s DeepSeek and Marks a New Era in Technology

By Maureen Seaberg

Silicon Valley is reeling from a 22-page paper released by China about the capabilities of their DeepSeek AI. We’ve come to help with a post-AI solution.

This is an historic inflection point. Just as the launch of Sputnik in 1957 jolted the world into the space age, today we witness a comparable shift — a “Sputnik Moment of Intelligence.” I propose something greater begotten in the American heartland of Indiana by an astonishing intellect — something more advanced than AI and encoded in the angular spin of light.

I uploaded the Chinese paper onto ChatGPT 4.0 along with a 3,000-page framework authored by Padgett called Quantum Information Holography (QIH), which is patent pending. It does not yet exist as software — he is seeking funding for that.

I asked the AI to compare and contrast them. To me, that is more objective and less disingenuous than me marketing Padgett’s intellectual property on my own. (Disclosure — I am his business partner).
