The Theory - Research
As stated in the introduction, Delta R&D, Inc. is an objective theory, based in objective philosophy. This definition has totally confused those dealing with the company. Typically, businesses, although the concept of business is based in philosophy, are practicle and profit based - not academic. Philosophical (academic) based entities are typically classified as non-profit (not for profit). However, Delta R&D, Inc., operates as a hybrid - it uses the profit generated to fund the academic research. However, it does not end here, from the standard economic models of profits and non-profits, one would wrongfully assume, that the business operations are separate from the academic (research) operation. The fact is that they are integrated. The difference in views of operation, (between the standard business model and the objective theory Delta R&D, Inc.), is essential a fundamental shift in philosophy.

Historically, all philosophy stems from subjective philosophy and Delta R&D, Inc. is based in objective philosophy. So what's the difference? To best understand the difference, an understanding of the definitions of words and their implications is required.

Definitions

  • Philosophy - 1. Originally, the love of widsom or knowledge. Commonly used as - the construction of knowledge.
  • Subjective - 1. of, affected by, or produced by the mind. Subject to the human mind or some authority.
  • Objective - Not affected by and independent the mind. Independent of all authority.
  • Diction - The usage of a word in a sentence. The diction defines the word, hence the dictionary is a list of how words are used (defined).
We see that by the usage of the words, that subjective philosophy, is an authorized construction of knowledge, where objective philosophy must stand independent of authorized knowledge. Obviously, given that history is dominated by King, Queens and gods, all philosophy todate has been under or come from authorized knowledge - knowledge approved by a higher power. Even today the standards of education are rooted in authorized knowledge - you cannot graduate unless a higher power authorizes it. Obviously, because of its requirements to be independent of all authority, no objective theory could ever emerge from the standards of education and academics.

When Delta R&D, Inc. began, this is exactly what we were seeking to be - independent. However, the significance of this independence was not realized until about 1997 - when Delta R&D, Inc. became the doctoral thesis of Dr. Daniel Carras. However, the roots of this understanding were planted when, in 1993, the research project STEP, (Space-Time Exploration Program), based in the concepts in Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Quantum Physics, began. Influenced by the development of NASA. This unusual research project, aimed at trying to understand the origins and the mechanisms of the universe. This program, was found to encompasses almost all areas of academic study, making it appear eclectic and disorganized. A method of research developed called; exploratory research.

Exploratory research developed out of a need to develop a truly objective method of research. It can best be described, as a person walking on the beach randomly picking up samples of the beach, (rocks, sea shells, etc.). It is not until enough samples have been collected that any conclusions can be drawn. However, with this form of research, it is difficult to determine when enough is enough, and begin drawing conclusions, that will, simply, end up being more observations. In short, there is no position of expertise and no ability to discard information - just to put aside what is not understood until that day its significance is recognized.

In comparision, standard research, often known as the scientific method, requires that an experiment have a purpose and a well defined method. Its also stated that standard research should try to predict its outcome. Exploratory research has no such structure, the it is experiment that determines the outcome, the method and the direction that the research will take. Here there is no ability to predict, the only measure of what is to come is - probability. Probability, based on other observations that have common direction. It, in many ways, applies some of the methods of observational astronomy - where observation drives theory - to the rest of science. From experience in this type of research it has also been found that truly objective research is irrelevant to the "accolades" currently deemed as standard by the scientific community. As a result, this form of research is extremely difficult to describe, due to the fact that it has no particular direction, and the researcher cannot predict where he will be next.

Since, STEP is the main focus of the company, the problem business and governments, not to mention everyone else, is understanding just what this company is and what it does. Companies, particularly banks, who look at tangible assets of both the company, and particularly the individual, have nothing to go by; no standard bywhich they can judge the merits of the company. What they have failed to understand is how encompassing, not to mention absorbing, the research is. Although, science is becoming more popularized. Since the "Mars Fever" in  1997, as a result of the media sensation created about an old asteroid found in the Antarctic,which scientist stated may contain fossilized microscopic life, interest in the origins of life, and the structure of the universe, began anew. (It should also be stated that the pictures, observations, and conclusions drawn, from the Hubble Space Telescope were also a prime factor.) This prompted the following:
 
"Congratulations are in order for NASA. The agency has embraced a vision around which researchers, educator, and the general public alike can rally. For the first time in its history, the U.S. space program has a set of sweeping, integrated objectives. Now, at least in some parts of NASA, the advancement of scientific knowledge will drive the technology, not the other way around. Called, "Origins,"* the new NASA program is designed to attack some of the most basic, time-honored questions confronting not only scientists but also philosophers and theologians. What are the origins of matter and life? How have order and structure emerged in the cosmos? Is there life beyond Earth? A minority of academics has long urged our government, and especially our universities, to address these and other big questions as part of an integrated effort to build a modern weltgeschichte that people of all cultures can adopt -a big-bang-to-humankind story that traces generative and developmental changes ranging from quark to quasar, from microbe to mind. ....."

yielding a better understanding about the company. 
     This type of multi-discplinary science is essentially 24 hours a day, 7 days a week work. However, the work is by choice. It is the intrigue, and mystery, behind such science research that causes the scientist to become absorbed in his work. Science becomes an integral part of the scientist. Desire is the driving force. The desire for knowledge, almost to the point of obsession. As a result, the scientist becomes absorbed by the research leaving nothing left to be assessed.
