The full name of the LRC is the Dewey B. Larson Memorial Research Center. It is an incorporated non-profit organization, with 501(3c) tax exemption status.
It was formed, when the late Mr. Jesse Greer, of Kentucky, encouraged it and donated the funds for it.
The research we wanted to pursue was based on my discovery of the work of Stephen Wolfram with what was known as "cellular automata." The first big breakthrough was the development of the Progression Algorithm (PA), which was adopted from rule 254 in Stephen Wolfram’s list of cellular automata rules.
For him, it was the most uninteresting of all 256 rules. However, by reinterpreting the progression of space and time in this rule, in order to incorporate them as two, reciprocal, aspects of motion, we were able, for the first time, to graph the scalar progression and the “direction” reversals, which enabled us to visualize the meaning of these concepts and think about their implications in terms of numbers.
At the time, we dubbed the work as the Net-Zero Project, and it has grown from there. The net-zero label referred to the fact that the PA algorithm showed the zero progress of one aspect or the other of the uniform progression.
From this, it soon became apparent that only two space|time ratios were possible, 1|2 and 2|1, and that these had to be combined to get anything interesting, but combining them only led us back to the unit progression, 1|1! However, we eventually recognized that the sum of the numbers 1|2 and 2|1 was actually the sum of 2|2 and 2|2 in terms of total units of progression; that is, there is one unit of inward motion, for every unit of outward motion, in a cycle of two “direction” reversals. Hence, the complete equation for summing two, reciprocal, units of scalar space|time oscillation had to be
ds|dt = 1|2 + 1|1 + 2|1 = 4|4 num,
where num is an acronym for “natural units of motion.”
At first, the idea was to form the LRC as part of ISUS, to fund various RST-based research projects, but disagreements as to the ground rules eventually led to my decision as ISUS President to resign and establish the LRC, as an independent organization.
