I think you have failed to consider the requirements of Kickstarter. You need to really think about your marketing, deliver as clear and slick a statement of your project as possible, and imitate as much as you can of successful similar kickstarter projects.
Your video is neither clear nor slick (verbal explanation with random camera angles is a poor way for most people to absorb information), and needs visual aids at least.
I watched a couple minutes of explanation, and then zoned out. Sorry.
I’m guessing from your low funds that you’ve also done little to evangelize your concept, or have been unsuccessful in doing so.
I also think Kickstarter for coding projects is a high barrier, since so much programming is volunteer open-source projects, people wonder why they’d donate extra. And you offer no rewards for backers, a key element of Kickstarter’s concept.
You also say in the first paragraph “the project isn’t going well”.
Yes...the kickstarter portion is a bit of a mess. I threw it together at the last minute when I was invited to pitch my ideas. I’m more to net rested in feed back on the math and concepts behind it. I think I understand bayes and am trying to apply it. This seemed like the right place to seek guidence.
After looking at the website, it’s still a very complicated idea, it’s totally unclear what a small-scale implementation is supposed to look like (i.e. what impact does this have in a small community of enthusiasts, what incentive does anyone have to adopt it, etc.).
I can’t evaluate your math because I don’t see any math in your website or kickstarter. I see references to Bayes and Information theory, but no actual math.
Yes , this is the issue. I’m deficienct in the math area. I’m working on an out line to lay out the math, but it has been a long time since I took diffeq and it is coming back slowly.

Thanks for the feed back.
