I developed it. Delta R&D, Inc. is literally a philosophy and my Ph.D. thesis
incorporated.

Not currently!

This is far to complex to answer here, but all information is published to the website;
http://deltard.org so that anyone who wishes can follow the development of this new
philosophy.

Please see the website http://deltard.org

Delta R&D, Inc. is my theoretical work based in Quantum Physics, built on the book,
"The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Language of Nature", written by Heinz R. Pagels
and published by Simon & Schuster. As such, the nature of Delta R&D, Inc. is as dynamic,
because it is the theory and my thesis.

-- The Theory (in brief)

Objective philosophy requires that it stand independent of all authority and not be
subject (the definition of subjective) to any sanctioning body - although it can be
associated with, or have an association with. Thus, any such theory must completely
rebuild the academic structure within the realm of objective philosophy, then this can be
applied to the scientific structure matching the fundamental nature of philosophy
(objective philosophy) with the fundamental nature of quantum physic (objective science).
Consequently, I have found that this requires both an economic and
political structure as well. As such, the dynamics of the theory required that aspects of
the theory be divided into different divisions or institutes, (see website for details).
Further, we (because of our independence) don't solicit any funds from the
government, all funds are privately generated. However, we found that we did not fit any
of the funding models provided by private foundations, so we turned to economics and
finance, found that we could adapt the principles of profit (economics and finance) into
an academic theory and then used to fund the research. As such, our philosophy is anything
but commercial, but it is supported by commercial means, which I have found to be the best
model for sustaining non-profit services. To see the proof of this please see the National
& International Programs under the Democracy Institute
(http://democracy-institute.org) and remember that it is an aspect of (http://deltard.org)

We are incorporated and listed as a commercial company, but we fit neither category.

Any conflicts of interest between the two would exist in philosophy, because Delta R&D,
Inc. is a non-traditional organization, not fitting in either the commercial model or the
non-commercial model.

Yes! Just as in any open society, diversity is important, and I (Delta R&D, Inc.) provide
a diversity that currently is unrepresented in this constituency. So if, "Other members
could challenge your membership application", and succeeds in a rejection of the
application, then this would constitute a rejection of your mission statement on the
website; "Please join us, please get involved  in protecting the speech and activities we
value on the Internet!" Simply because I am different!
