Mark, your statements are provocative (that's a good thing) but I'd
like a little more explicit detail. Where did Santa Fe go wrong for
you? What's the possible solution(s)?

The culture is the most important aspect of converting science to

on- more than any other in fact (U.S.- SF is very dependent on
wealth creation elsewhere). I've been an integral part of the best
work in the world on the topic for over two decades-
entrepreneurial culture, so it's foolhardy not to listen. Several
dozen other states and countries have listened- not so much the
U.S. Every dollar invested at LANL, SFI, etc. can be traced to that
culture, albeit elsewhere in the U.S. primarily.
The primary reason for sharing is for the benefit of the members. I
am taking home my marbles- or rather not willing to invest in
commercializing technology a market dominated by subsidies and
theory where the business culture isn't competitive. So what I am
saying in part is that the priorities in Santa Fe are misaligned to
its needs in the fast changing world, or its strengths, but then so
too is the country it sits in, so it's not unusual in that regard.
More subsidies won't change the culture, but actually reinforces it.
Beyond that, since this community is about software and complexity,
which is at the core of Kyield, perhaps someone knows someone who
is interested and qualified. I suspect that the license will go to
a giant, but we'll give others a chance first.

Mark,
Two questions:
What do you mean culture?
And, why are you telling us: it feels like you are taking home your
marbles.

Hi folks,
After testing the local market over the past several months, in
combination
with where my wife and I are in life, and knowing what it takes
to be
globally competitive-- I've made the decision not to build out
Kyield in
Santa Fe. The science here is reasonably well matched, but not the
culture
for this kind of business.
Kyield is a holistic enterprise software and communications
system that
is
designed to increase meritocracy in the workplace, reduce
information
overload, improve innovation, and allow the individual and org to
manage
the
knowledge yield curve for their specific needs- patent-pending.
Architecture
can be functional/written on any major platform, although I have
personally
been a bit biased towards semantic web standards. Five thousand
of the
world's largest organizations have consumed everything we have made
public,
so we have a bit of interest.....
Created a license faqs doc and am sharing with my entire network
in case
anyone is interested:
