The attached email span the late 1970's through the present, (some of the dates are incorrect,) and are concerned, (for the most part,) with the integration of information technology, entropic economics, and management theory into a unified concept of corporate management.

The correspondence is listed chronologically in each category:

  1. Entropic Economics and Equity Markets. Most are in regard to a stochastic model of equity prices, and applications to the programmed trading of stocks, day trading, and exploiting market "bubbles". Many of the concepts are implemented in the program, tsinvest.tar.gz - C sources for an entropic analysis of equity prices.

  2. Entropic Economics and Industrial Markets, Marketing, and Business Operations. Most are in regard to a formalized methodology of business operations and models. (See also, fractal.ps.gz - 2MB gzip compressed Postscript, or, fractal.pdf - 6 MB PDF, versions of "Notes on the Fractal Analysis of Various Market Segments in the North American Electronics Industry," and fractal.tar.gz - Latex sources for the 700+ page document, which also includes the C Sources to the programs used in the analysis, and has a web site at NdustriX.)

  3. Entropic Economics and Management. Most are in regard to the formalization of corporate management methodologies that were distributed by the System Dynamics conference, the Business Process Redesign conference, the Learning Organization conference, and the Deming conference.

  4. Entropic Economics, Game Theory, General Mathematics, and Fractal Science. Most are concerned with the relationship between economics, game theory, fractal science, and formal mathematics-explaining how the consequences of self-referential systems and Nash equilibrium result in a complex system with fractal dynamics.

  5. Information Technology. Most are in regard to managing the dynamics of human organizations with information technology, and the implications to the decision process.

  6. Semiconductor, Computer, Software, Technology, and Electronics Engineering. Most are concerning the development methodology of technology and engineering, viewing the activities as a complex process, which is stochastic and may not be scalable.

  7. History of Technology. Most are observations about the historical perspective of technology and its relationship to civilization and the way we organize.

  8. Civilization, Anthropology. Most are observations about the stochastic dynamics of civilization.
