The Π Plan
"The fundamental things have got to be
simple…"
Lord Rutherford.
Our ability to incorporate virtually any
performance-related requirement or phenomena into a material is
the technological backbone of Π. Our
organic chemists and materials
scientists can create, enhance, or disallow any matter-based
phenomenon within an appropriate material, using our knowledge of
physics, chemistry, biology, the particle/wave duality of
materials, thereby adjusting the properties of materials to any
desired property. This is achieved by engineering specific
properties into material building blocks at the angstrom-scale,
then, if necessary, forming higher-level material configurations
in which the properties of of the building blocks are retained in
the bulk material.
These property-dictating chemistries, combined
with the breadth of our
analytical instrumentation expertise and proficiencies in
statistics and applied computing
also allows us to comprehensively characterize data from the
perspective of different instruments and principles, thereby
obtaining a multidimensional understanding of intra- and
intermolecular interactions and the intertwining effects of
wave-particle properties of a material. These capabilities, in
turn, present ideal opportunities to contribute to scientific and
technological understandings, and hopefully, breakthroughs.

This capability for innovation stems from
Π's ardent interest in empirical research. Thankfully, today's
cutting edge instrumentation has resolutions bordering on those
dimensional and time scales which quantized effects can be
studied, allowing for the interrogation of matter and materials to
a higher degree of understanding. Using state-of-the-art
instrumentation and methods, Π chemists and scientists are
fully engaged in studying processes within the sub-angstrom realm
of materials science, including the interaction of the
sub-angstrom with energy fields spanning the ultra violet through
to the terahertz, into the microwave, in search of
commercializable phenomena. It is the processes of the
sub-angstrom realm that makes nanotechnology possible. Unlike the
nanoscale where total human control is still possible, at the
sub-angstrom level total human control of processes comes to an
end. Most processes at this scale are simply kinetic or
thermodynamically controlled self-organizational processes, with
outcomes based on the available energies and waveforms, available
conduits for energy transfer (conjugation, bandgaps, space), and
rules of what is allowed and what is forbidden (selectivity
rules). Although our technology and instrumentation allows us to
view, and make deductions about what is happening at this scale;
unfortunately, the different sciences (and instruments) that might
bring together a broad-spectrum understanding of what happens at
the quantum level are still fragmented. This fragmentation leads
to a non-optimized use of scientific tools and data, and is,
currently a major impediment to scientific discovery and the
development of true technology. This is where Π's philosophy of a
convergent science approach to
scientific enquiry becomes important, as it provides a
multidimensional scaffold for understanding quantum effects and
helps unravel the cross disciplinary nature of scientific truth.

Thought arising from convergent science
indicates that real technology is such technology which can
satisfy a requirement, with minimal disruption to the environment
from its production and use, and also with minimum threat to both
plant and animals. It also indicates that the secrets to such real
technology are hidden within the worldly splendor of every day
life, we just need to know how use our acquired analytical
technologies to fish out, understand and duplicate effects seen in
nature – even if this means reevaluating old rules and theories,
and getting rid of them if necessary.

Philosophy is an intricate aspect of scientific
enquiry and convergent science, and our involvement with
convergent science has also inadvertently brought about
non-mainstream philosophical understandings of the essence of
mankind, life, and a better knowledge of the correct rudiments of
human society and lifestyle. In the
course of generating and applying our convergent science
philosophies we have become progressively illuminated about the
true grandeur of being a human being. What we do at Π amounts to a
better understanding of the human being since, as humans, all our
functionality is an illustration of the cooperativity of different
levels of nanostructured processes, with macro processes relating
to the human element and quantum processes relating to the being
element. If this is true, then, logically, we are capable of
communication both on a marco scale and on a quantum scale (but
that's another story). Alas,
convergent science, which helps unravel the cross disciplinary
nature of scientific truth, also unravels nature's truth.
Our work as Π as scientists have brought about
psychosocial revelations that we cannot ignore. Convergent science
seems to point out to the fact that each variation within our
specie has a special characteristic, and a unique contribution to
the collective. Advanced specie or not, we have to start being
unified, rather than building up social structures that allow us
to negatively isolate, classify and exploit each other, as this
leads to a quantized proliferation of poverty,
war, lack of accessibility to primary necessities, disease,
bad public health, and a general decrease of our chances of
survival as a specie.

For these reasons, Π intends to apply the
psychosocial philosophies and realizations that stem from its
involvement in science and technology to address social problems,
and, with the help of others, develop solid psychosocial
postulations, blueprints and solutions that benefit mankind as a
whole. New knowledge and understandings of the rudiments of life
and social culture will be disseminated to the public through the
development of services and service protocols that truly benefit
society, the development of appropriate seminars and communiqués
that will lead to an increased enlightenment of the average
earthling, and the development of educational programs that foster
true technology and that can be seamlessly integrated into
curriculums at pre-college, undergraduate and graduate level
education
We are polymaths; a group of dedicated
scientists, philosophers and good-poised professionals of valor,
integrity and good virtue, individually intelligent, and with an
inner calling to apply our varied knowledge and capacities to the
development and benefit of convergent science, true-technology and
the propagation of social good, mindless of the social and
economic sacrifices that accompany such a level of dedication.
All our plans have resulted in the evolution of
our core divisions, which have
been integrated into a ∏ plan that is modeled on the generation of
equity, and for revenue that can be applied towards the promotion
of our convergent technologies and psychosocial philosophies.
