Personal Data Born Sept. 25, 1951, Eerie PA.
Grew up with autism, but by 14 years old I was protégé to a
microbiologist (Sr. Mary Francis Clare Ladd) on the team
that grew the first plant (carrot) from a single mast cell).
Shortly thereafter I delivered lectures in
physiology to second year biology students at
her college.
In eighth grade I independently arrived at the
cardinal features of the James-Lange theory of
memory.
In ninth grade wrote a 90-page typed paper on the
reflex arc.
In college I developed the honor-dignity thesis in cultural anthropology as well as ‘exposure theory’ in neuroscience.
Over the next decades developed theories of the office, of
stewardship and in metaphysics developed a recursive
paradigm for archetypal categories.
