TRUSTWORTHY
Technologists Network

A NETWORK OF TRUST AND INTEGRITY

OUR PEOPLE:

Who are the trustworthy technologists in the TTNet?

They are scientists and/or engineers who stand by their own professional reputations, and vouch for the other members of the Trustworthy Technologists Network. The trust between individual members is based on working experience over many years. Nobody gets in without the sponsorship of a member of good standing.


TTNet's network of trusted scientists and engineers has taken 30 years to establish,(although new to the internet). They are unique in their linguistic and technical diversity - and can converse in every major language. Over the years, this network has found technologists in most of the technically endowed countries.



TTNet Can Help You Find a Technologist With Skills In Any Field.

If you require a literature search related to filing a patent, for example, then our technologists can help you. They are familiar with most computer searchable data bases and most of the conventional paper libraries in the world. They are adept in soliciting librarians in finding obscure references that are not usually available to conventional searchers. Many of the members of our network maintain their own private libraries that have proven useful to patent searches in the past.



Some Basics.

 TTNet's technologists recognize that knowledge can be parsed into 2 cardinal classes, recorded and unrecorded.

Parsing of Recorded Knowledge. Recorded knowledge can be subdivided into 4 general types, scientific (that which is discovered), engineering (that which can be used to build something), intellectual property (that which has property value) and commercial (that which can be bought today).

The Unique Value of Unrecorded Knowledge. Unrecorded knowledge is usually more valuable, provided it is accessible. It is limited in its distribution and usually newly created. Because it is in the mind of a technologist, it may be useful in solving problems that heretofore could not be solved. If two technologists, one with a problem and one with new technology, get together, a new solution to the problem may emerge.

You May Never Know, Ask. No matter how long the technologist has been a friend or an associate, his or her special knowledge about a subject must not be assumed. Always ask a technologist what they know about a problem; they may surprise you.

More Taxonomy. An additional taxonomy of solutions to problems is the difference between evolutionary system engineering and revolutionary system engineering. The Japanese perform the first, step-by-step engineering, better than any other class of engineers. Our technologists come from entities that, by their very nature, usually practice and are famous for practicing the revolutionary form.

System Architecting. One of the unique skills that our technologists apply to the 5 classes of problems is this form of system architecting. The process by which TTNet technologists can find the unrecorded knowledge in the mind of a technologist, and trade it for some knowledge or pay for it directly, is the key to success.

End-to-End. Solutions to the very difficult problems that face humans are almost always of this second kind. Even the most mundane of the 5 classes of problems can benefit from the application of this end-to-end form of problem solution.

Morphological Analysis. The greatest advocate of this form of problem solving was Professor Fritz Zwicky of Caltech, he called it Morphological Analysis. His revelation can be summed-up by an excerpt of the abstract of his treatise The Morphological Approach to Discovery, Invention, Research and Construction May 1967. To achieve technically and humanly satisfactory results three prerequisites must be fulfilled, namely first, lack of bias, that is absolute detachment from bias and prevaluations; second, sufficient knowledge about the true nature of the world; and third, freedom of action.

All? A second quote is: The Morphological Approach to Discovery, Invention, Research and Construction has been conceived and developed for the purpose of dealing with all (this emphasis is Zwicky's) situations in life more reasonably and more effectively than hitherto. This is achieved through the study of all relevant interrelations among objects, phenomena and concepts by means of methods which are based on the utmost detachment from prejudice and carefully refrain from all prevaluations. Applications of the morphological methods of the total field coverage, of negation and construction, of the morphological box and others to technical problems in particular and to human problems in general are described.

Permission To Moonlight. Most of TTNet's technologists are employed full time but have the privilege of performing consulting outside of their institutions. Each consulting technologist will obtain permission to consult from his or her institution beforeoffering his or her services to a client. They are typically employed by universities and national laboratories. A few are employed by enlightened corporate research laboratories that value such out-side-consulting because it improves the general knowledge base of their technologists.
