Conceiving a new Information/Communications/Operations Paradigm (1972-present)
Created and developed an original view of a self-determined, worldwide information / communications / operating environment for individuals, corporations and societies. This is described in an unpublished draft of a work on technology and systems that support self-guided means for improving the quality of life.

While waiting for information technology to develop, 12 years were spent developing personal business and communications skills that are used to help create and introduce these concepts.

This evolved into patented inventions, the initial patents of which have been granted.
