xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AND C co-inspires to create perfectly balanced design, fearless of what dominant paradigms the outcome might challenge

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AND C specializes in out-of-the-box answers to the most pressing/vexing tech-no-logical issues facing humankind, without regard to size, scope, complexity or geography.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our core, engineering design principles:

v Use Biasing effects (akin to the trim-tabs approach by Buckminster fuller)

v Ruthlessly apply Occam’s razor, simpler is better

v Apply technology in homeopathic doses

v Have a deep understanding of Hydrology/High-pressure environments (air and water)/Dynamic systems

v Believe that like cures like, but only if understood at it’s deepest level

v Understand how to t/ease order out of chaos

v Apply the best of known engineering practices and principals, but in tangential and surprisingly effective ways

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AND C is rooted in Aadividya, or original knowledge. The belief being that only by going to the root cause of what we do and why and how we do it, can we come to the right way of how it should be done.

Link to the document below will give you a deeper sense of where these breakthrough designs come from. Please note that this document was written on May 19^th 2008, when most of the world was rather sanguine about global prospects, prosperity etc.

Clearly the ensuing years have shown that this sense was misplaced. Temporal markers in the documents hopefully show a deeper understanding of the world by the founder of ANDC.

As stated earlier, our unique insights give us answers to some of the world’s most vexing problems in almost every field of human endeavour

AND C has radical design solutions designed or planned for:

vThe Automotive Industry (see here)

v The Aviation and Aeronautical Industry

v The Marine Industry

v The Defense (no offense) Industry

v The Sporting Goods Industry (see here)

v The Distributed Power Generation Industry

v The Habitat and Housing Design Industry

v The Musical Instrument Industry

v The Bicycle Industry

v And many more that are difficult to categorize

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All these designs flow out of a wholly new understanding of how the Human Body actually functions.

Call it the new human biomechanics or the new human bio-dynamics. A phrase in common use today that touches upon our work is called Bio-mimicking design.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our terms of engagement are simple:

v Decency and fairness at every level, above all

v An open mind-flex (mind-sets are not good)

v The means to play (Finance, Infrastructure, regulatory authority, passion, high skill level)

v Interact only with key and in-dependant decision makers, bold and decisive individuals in positions of and possessing a very high degree of autonomy

v No technology suppression, only work with go-to-market players

v Extremely simple, enforceable contracts, no legal knots, in other words easy legal, not legalese

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you feel you match our thinking, we could work together. You size does not matter to us. You can be:

v A Nation looking to invest in a technology partner that will create tremendous real wealth, jobs and a substantial Licensing revenue flow (think oil replacement and carbon credits on a very large scale)

v A Nation wishing to possess the strongest “DEFENSIVE” force in the world

v A Corporation with the reach and means to take any aspect of our designs to a large, global market

v An Individual with very substantial means looking to participate in the next great tech-no-logical in-volution

v A Community(any size) looking to solve a particular, vexing problem, regardless of what field it is in

v A Company looking to de-celerate while maintaining profitability

v An Individual seeking to find his or her core self, your original I, using the methods and the way revealed to and by the founder of AND C. An overview of SPIRAL guidance follows beneath the contact information posted below. Please get in touch if you really feel called. It is a difficult and rewarding path, a blend of Zen, Music, Sufism, deep body work and arcane knowledge.

Spiral guidance is a series of guided sessions, taking participants on a journey of unique self-discovery. On the other side, students will have a deep and abiding sense of self and integrity. The sessions focus alternately on the physical and meta-physical levels of awareness, guiding people to become hyper or meta-aware, hyper-sensitive even, in the best sense of the term.

About Spiral Guidance

Spiral seeks to encourage individuals to dive into themselves to discover the deepest drivers for their motivations/actions and at the same time become deeply sensitive to their physical and emotional environment.

Combining subtle physical and meta-physical exercises, Spiral leads an individual through a journey of authentic self-discovery.

Individuals who have gone through Spiral guidance are:

· Centered

· Balanced

· Grounded

· Meta-Aware

· Focused

· In complete integrity with their Purpose

They command their space with the authority of deep self-knowledge. Their path consistently represents the optimum road to a desired outcome.

Spiral goes beyond training, because trained response always breaks down under some degree of pressure. It is our firm belief that core aspects of an individual’s constitution (Integrity, Ethics, Self-knowledge, Enthusiasm) cannot be taught but are discovered and once discovered, not easily lost.

While traditional teaching allows an individual to function within the confines of a box/system, Spiral Guidance gives them the tools to allow them to be their extra-ordinary selves in these extra-ordinary times. The tools allow them to operate at their optimum level, never wasting time, energy or money in actions that do not serve their or their networks highest good.

Individuals that are integrated in this way become engines of cause instead of the instruments at effect.

         The Signposts along Spiral Guidance are deeply rooted in a blend of ancient and modern teachings and methodologies, mostly identified as shamanic in their origin.

         Taking Spiral Guidance is the equivalent of taking the “Red” pill.

For Sporting Goods manufacturers

A partial and representative list of designs

1. Andromeda Footware

Please find below a short proposal inviting your participation in the launch of a paradigm-changing concept in footwear, based on a radically new understanding of human bio-dynamics and bio-mechanics.

The core design breakthrough has applicability in many fields and impacts every aspect of footwear design.

Applications:

a. New Running/Training Shoe

b. New Exercise/Walking Shoe

c. Athletic shoes (Track and Field)

d. Military Boots

e. Radically redesigned Ski/Snowboard Bindings and Shoes

f. Shoes that generate usable energy (Electrical or Mechanical)

g. Radically Redesigned Prosthetic Leg

h. Etc….. Every kind of footwear will benefit

Benefits:

a. Unsurpassed Comfort

b. Natural Fit

c. Extremely Customizable

d. Help Heal/Strengthen feet

e. Increase Endurance and Reduce Fatigue

f. Enable Design of Multiple Technology-Crossover Platforms

g. Massive Accessorization Potential (Utility and Fashion)

Current Status:

Professionally rendered Conceptual designs are ready for:

a. Ski/Snowboard Bindings (Drawings and Alias Models)

b. Athletic Shoes

c. Prosthetic Model

The drawings/models clearly elucidate the design framework, making the extended application-set clearly obvious to an informed audience.

Rough prototypes that clearly show the functional as well as theoretical basis of these designs are also ready and available.

2. Bicycle Redesign

A similarly radical re-look at the bicycle also leads to re-designs of most functional aspects of bicycle design. This includes:

a. Seating system (Professionally rendered concept/design drawings are available for this)

b. Propulsion/power-delivery mechanism (flows from re-designed seat)

c. Pedal redesign (related to both power-delivery as well as the Footwear re-design mentioned in 1 above.

d. Cycling shoe (related to both 1 and the bicycle concept)

e. Safety System (related to the seat design, currently not drawn, but can be completed prior to our meeting)

f. Etc.

Again, essentially a re-design of the bicycle based on the earlier stated new understanding of human bio-mechanics.

3. Golf Club Enhancement

The enhancement of the golf club currently covers 3 areas. Viz.

a. Grip (Actual model available, I have some enhancements on that that are in my head only)

b. Tune-ability, ie., a user can continuously adjust the Stiffness of the club across wide spectrum using my design

c. Vibration Damping: Fully drawn 3-D model available as well as animation (Maya)

4. Sports Helmet Redesign

Benefits of the design are

a. Greatly improved shock absorption

b. Reduced concussion injuries

c. Increased structural strength

d. Light-weight

Will be applicable to all helmet types (including bicycling, motorcycling, military etc.)

5. Cricket Bat design

Very radical take on bat design.

Patent Potential:

All of the products/designs mentioned above have tremendous patenting potential. Due to the nature of the design insight involved, they are all radically different from anything on the market today and to the best of my knowledge have not been patented/disclosed yet.

Also, due to the core nature of the redesign, there is a ripple impact on fields not related to sports alone but to general fields of human Endeavour through greatly enhanced efficiency of energy transfer and utilization.

In essence, AND C can impact a full 80% of any sports company’s product line-up in meaningful ways from every aspect of a product being brought to market.
