A series of articles by McKinsey & Company on the Metaverse (looks like the Avatars here have legs!). At Numorpho Cybernetic Systems (NUMO), we are actively monitoring the progression of Web3 and the Metaverse, and building a comprehensive framework based on Axomatic Design principles, the Parlante Architecture for Systems Engineering that we are creating, and Physmatics so that…

Things to be mindful of when we venture out on large infrastructure or factory modernization projects. This is a perfect example of what happens when you do technology for technology’s sake and do not account for human vagrancies or a maturity model to enable a staged progression. Time and time again, we convince ourselves that…

Mobility as a service. In a prior post I had talked about e-Mobility and our forays in building products and services in micro-mobility, macro-mobility, and hyper-mobility. Here is an interesting article that details the market opportunity for mobility as a service. It is not just about building products to facilitate transportation and the creation of…

Dr. Shree Vinekar and I thank you, Michael Poff from The Carter-Jenkins Center for your review and detailed summaries of our whitepapers on Existential Intelligence and our future in utilizing AI, Cybernetics and other Emerging Technologies as we progress as a civilization. Here is Michael’s review.The Kardashev scale, a method of measuring a civilization’s level of technological advancement based…

Transforming Uncertainty, Unleashing Innovation using Data & Analytics Smart Data vs Big Data. A very interesting talk about the duality between Data Science and Information Management by Gartner emphasizing on the Everything Connected theme where we have to look at processes more like an ecosystem rather than just stepped activities in a connected factory. Thank you Avanish Mehrotra for…

Is anyon out there? Anyons aren’t like ordinary elementary particles; scientists will never be able to isolate one from the system where it forms. They’re quasiparticles, which means they have measurable properties like a particle — such as a location, maybe even a mass — but they’re only observable as a result of the collective…

WHAT THE FF? was a critical blog written by me when Faraday Future, an EV company that still exists came out with their concept car, thisThe importance of design in innovation cannot be underestimated. But there needs to be a correspondence with product development and manufacturability – a sort of fluidity that Franz von Holzhausen at Tesla and…

Engineering at the atomic level: Of nanotubes and DNA “While we often think of biology using tools and techniques from physics, our work shows that the approaches being developed in biology can actually be applied to problems in physics and engineering,” Egelman said. “This is what is so exciting about science: not being able to…

The Lucy Spacecraft is asmall satellite mission to explore the Trojan asteroids located in the Lagrangian points of Jupiter in the outer solar system. It is a collaboration between the European Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA). The mission is is set to explore two Trojans: 617 Patroclus and 624 Hektor. The spacecraft…
