March 2015: Introduced the other two Planck base units.  Speed of light mathematically confirmed between notations or doublings 143 and 144. Summary overviews and key ideas.

December 2014: Planck Time tracked with Planck Length using base-2 exponential notation.

July 2014:  Timeline. Asked the question, Finite or Infinite: Is that the question? in pursuit of the Theory of Indivisibles. Also, wrote the two summary articles: Order in the Universe and 15 Key Points.  Awarded an USPTO patent: TOT lines for construction – initial projects in NOLA.

December 2013:  Updated an article about the evolution of the Big Board – little universe project.   Developed a little tour through it. Students began using the board to explore the very nature of science and knowledge.

March 2012: Wrote an overview of the Big Board attempting to use the format and style of Wikipedia.  It was conditionally accepted by some Wikipedia editors in mid-April. It was indexed on the web for the last two weeks of April before being deleted on May 2, 2012 as original research. The intention was to have that work to force us to find the primary reference articles that could justify using these concepts in the way we were using them.

December 19, 2011: Substituted again. Initiated the Big Board of our little universe.

March 2011: Invited to substitute for high school geometry classes to focus on the platonic solids. Developed models: Tetrahedron-octahedron Pentakis dodecahedron. Our work is here.

August 2009: Moved to New Orleans from California to (1) re-open a production studio, (2) have a place for a Center for Perfection Studies, and (3) teach producers to be local producers.

June 2009: Stopped active productions of the weekly television series to study how to find local producers to initiate local productions in every major city throughout the world.

2001: Re-branded the show for the third time. Small Business School clears on 200+ stations in the USA (PBS-TV) and thousands worldwide through the Voice of America-TV. Visit with John Conway at Princeton to discuss the interiority of the tetrahedron and octahedron.

1999: Began streaming our first television shows on the web.

1997: Manufactured perfect tetrahedrons and octahedrons; interior modeling project begins.

1994 – 2014: Television producer, Small Business School (SBS) series. It began as Small Business Today. It was rebranded as Small Business 2000 in 1995 and then again as SBS in 2000 for 2001.

Learned about the death of a friend, David Bohm (1992). Thought about a visit with him in 1977 and his little book,  “Fragmentation and Wholeness”  and asked the question, “What is perfectly enclosed inside a tetrahedron?”

Opened our first web site in December 1994. Broadcast a weekly half-hour about best business practices for over 50 seasons (14+ years) via PBS-TV stations throughout the USA and via the Voice of America-TV (weekdays on nine global satellites) around the world. Re-broadcast by Dubai Business Channel and CCTV-9 in China.

1990-2002: Consultant for IBM. Advisor within Watson Labs. Special productions for Lou Gerstner.

1986-1992: Software developer focused on PARC, object-oriented programming.

1982-1993: Business Consultant for IBM, Ericsson, Memorex, Decision Data…

1982: One of IBM’s very first small business partners, we outperformed the nation and won a new, red corvette.

January 1981: Re-engaged with a company that I had started in 1971. Within two years we had over 100 employees.

January 1980: Resident Theologian, The American Church in Paris while studying EPR issues with professors Olivier Costa de Beauregard and Jean-Pierre Vigier at the Institut Henri Poincaré

August 1979: Initiated and coordinated a display project at MIT with MIT and the World Council of Churches with 77 of the world’s leading, living scholars.

October 1977: Visited with David Bohm in London focused on points, lines, triangles and the tetrahedron. Discussed it all in an MIT meeting with Carl Friedrich von Weisäcker.

September 1975: Began doctoral program on perfected-states in space-time and the hypostatic. Through the Boston Theological Institute, studied with Arthur McGill, Harvard, focused on hypostatic constructs within Austin Farrer’s 1943 book, Finite and Infinite. Also, focused on the EPR Paradox and the work of John Bell at CERN. In ’77, visited Bell at CERN as a guest of former director-general, Victor Weisskopf (chairman, MIT Physics) and Lew Kowarski. Studied with John Findlay and with Hans-Georg Gadamer and Bernard Lonergan at Boston College.

January 1973: Matriculated at BU STH studying the foundations of physics as related to the foundations of theology and Newton’s absolute time. Engaged subject-object discussions whereby the relation is the primary real — space-time and subject-object are derivative.

December 1972: Bob Cohen, chairman of BU’s Physics Department and the Center for Philosophy and History of Science, asks me to discuss my “perfected states in space-time” concepts with Harry Oliver at the BU School of Theology. With Oliver, Dean J. Robert Nelson extends an invitation to study with them. Awarded two fellowships to pay for it all. Also, became an irregular with a group at MIT following Jay Forrester and Dennis Meadows work on The Limits to Growth through the Club of Rome.

January 1971: Started a business, became associated with a think tank in Cambridge (Synectics and WJJ Gordon), and began focusing on perfected moments in space-time defined by “continuity-order-time, symmetry-relations-space, and harmony-dynamics-spacetime.” Began studying the physics, philosophy and psychology of perfected states. Re-engaged John Wesley. Became affiliated with the Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science, a mid-week evening lecture-debate group regarding first-principles in physics. It involved some of the finest within academia in the Boston area and from around the world. Became affiliated with the Philomorphs with Arthur Loeb (professor, Harvard Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, and author, Space Structures, Their Harmony and Counterpoint and Color and Symmetry). Meeting on the top floor of Harvard’s Sever Hall, Richard Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller was an associate. Through Ted Bastin, a friend and author/editor of Quantum Physics & Beyond, became loosely affiliated with Stanford’s H. Pierre Noyes and his Alternative Natural Philosophy Association.

January 1970. Became the first full-time employee (without title) functioning as an executive director to organize congressional conferences in Washington DC, fund-raising events throughout the greater NYC area, full-page ads in the NY Times and WSJ, a Madison Square Garden Rally, and meetings about global priorities, i.e., met with Cambodia’s Prince Norodom Sihanouk in Toronto.

October 1969. Engaged by the Fund for New Priorities in America while attending the Graduate School of New School for Social Research. Working on a masters degree on the foundations of creativity focusing on Carl Jung’s philosophy of archetypes and the Platonic Eidos. Taught 2nd grade special studies in PS 48x, Hunts Point, Bronx.
