MindTripper's "Topics for Informal, Creative Research"

This will be research for its own sake (hence "informal") and will include a significant amount of creation on my part rather than consisting only of the gathering & organising of information (hence "creative").
1. "Knowledge" about the physical universe is based upon a hierarchy of previous ideas, but many of these seem to be grounded on rather flimsy assumptions. Is that statement true? What assumptions? Just how flimsy are they? Are there alternative views?  
2. Design a new system of psychotherapy and plan its release into the world.  
3. Design a machine mind which is modelled on real human minds as regards its internal process (rather than its outward appearance). Include ideas for implementation.  
4. Consider my secret idea about consciousness. Has anyone else thought of this? Is there a way I can turn this idea into a book or other "production"? How can I expand this idea? Explore this and see what emerges.  
5. I have many thoughts & ideas which could come together well in a book and I feel the urge to write about them. How can I make this work for me? Think; explore myself; explore my ideas; explore how I can organise these things; make it real.  
6. Find out whether there exists a form of mathematics which is useful for recreational, mathematical puzzles, especially (but not limited to) those in which individual digits within a number are manipulated. If not then create such a system.  
This is MindTripper's list. Only MindTripper can edit it. You can make your own version of this list.
