Thanks! > a moduli space into which arbitrary data models can be mapped Very interesting. Somehow reminds me of using latices for deterministic concurrency. I

  The work is mostly mine but I've had collaborators for some of the research over the years. I accidentally invented it many years ago when I discovered an unorthodox but elegant solution to an algorithm problem which had stymied researchers for decades (and which I needed to solve for a specific application). Some months later, a research group I was working with were convinced that the unusual algorithm construction might be applicable to an unrelated algorithm problem they had been working on. Six weeks later I had solved their problem too by extending the concepts developed for my original algorithm. By that point I realized that while those two very different algorithms were cool, the half-baked computer science I had developed to construct them was even cooler. I spent the next decade fleshing out, generalizing, and extending the scope of the computer science while figuring out how to efficiently express that theory in practical software (which is not trivial). While I wrote quite a few papers on this computer science many years ago when it was new, the distribution was required to be non-public. I sporadically teach bits of it but writing up hundreds of pages of old research in my spare time is a lot less fun than working on my backlog of interesting computer science projects.
