#BAUniC2016 Competition and Winners

#BAUniC2016 Competition and Winners

This is the humanly worded information condensation of the #BAUniC 2016 competitive event. For the source material see:

#BAUniC2016 was the competitive event finalizing the year's efforts of the competitive teams participating in #BAUniC

From the registered teams, only one had a complete project that produced visible output. That team was "PES_Golly", using the "Golly" program for 'Game Of Life' clones (pesgolly.blogspot.com/2016/04/pes-golly-for-baunic.html). Better projects were presented, but unable to complete the requirement of a program able to be adjusted and tested independently. These projects are "Vibrational World" by Albert Thomagjini, (linkedin.com/pulse/vibrational-world-albert-thomagjini) and "Quantum Asymmetry between time and space" by Joan A. Vaccaro, (rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/472/2185/20150670)

"PES_Golly" won #BAUniC2016 in the 'Best Tutorial' category, and the works in progress got an honourable mention and encouragement votes. "GoTeamAlbania" and "TheAlien5cientists" will apply for #BAUniC2017.

Given how this topic deals with uncomfortable truths about the nature of the universe, the exploration of which may be seen as a sin in many religions, but shunned even by atheists or various levels of ignorants, PES_Golly has decided to remain anonymous. Given there was no money prize for #BAUniC2016 this posed no problem. Anonymity is a precious power, but when money is involved it may not look as good. So far it has not been a problem. We are open to suggestions and brainstorming over this problem.

To be fair, PES_Golly is related to the main #BAUniC team. Collaboration efforts work like that, and we hope to have set the example right for future competitors to have the environment and working examples ready.

#BAUniC2016 offered symbolic votes to encourage participation independently of the money rewards. These votes are valid for the #BAUniC-Prime-Pyramid (the committee safeguarded fund geared towards self-sustainability, as compared to the #BAUniC-Sharp-Pyramid).
As winner of 'Best Tutorial', PES_Golly was rewarded with 17 votes to use in influencing the outcome of the next competition. For their effort and participation, Vibrational-World and Quantum_assymetry got rewarded with 3 votes each. To ease the imagination, #BAUniC2017 sees 0.000488 bitcoins and 0.25 USD exchanged for 1 vote.
