Dr Jeremy Horne is President-emeritus of the Southwest Area Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science: AAAS. He currently the Chief Executive Officer of the Inventors Assistance League, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping independent inventors bring their creations to fruition. He resides in San Felipe, Baja, California (Mexico) doing research and writing in the areas of Logic as the language of innate order in the universe, which is an ongoing 40 year project.
Dr Horne taught many courses in political science and technology, delivered many presentations on the philosophy of scientific methods for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Quantum Mind conferences, has been reviewer for various journals about the structure and process in binary space, consciousness studies, systems, theory, and philosophy of science, and Documentation Systems Developer, for White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. His most recent publication consists of two chapters on the philosophy of binary logic and artificial minds in Research and Applications in Global Supercomputing, released by IGI Global Press March 2015.
Dr. Horne is member of several professional organizations such as The American Association for the Advancement of Science, (AAAS, the World’s largest general scientific society) where he was President of its Southwest Area Division; Bioelectromagnetics Society; Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers where he is a voting member of Fiber Optic Technical Advisory Group.
Dr. Jeremy Horne earned his Ph. D. in Philosophy at University of Florida, Gainesville; His Master of Science in Political Science at New Haven, CT, and his Bachelor in Art in International Relation at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, He has been a member of the Phi Kappa Phi, National Academic Honor Society, and his name was included in several Who's Who directories.
A person with an ostensibly new idea must encounter a highly complex patenting process in being recognized as the originator of that idea. From a systems perspective, s/he enters the patenting system as the "carrier" of a package in an environment, and the carrier with the idea must at least be homeostatic but preferably having the capacity to adapt. The initial creation may be deemed an invention, but its transformation or adaption to the system environment results in an innovation, as evidenced by how useful it is. While that evidence of utility is displayed concretely in the economic arena, as in marketing, it also certified as such by achieving patentability. Even a creator as innovator faces the challenges of adaptation by further modifying the innovation to result in further innovation, a dynamic and ongoing regulatory process, a feedback loop. As somewhat of a sidebar, a curious element/meta-element relationship emerges, with the innovation being regarded as an invention when it is transformed further to result in a new innovation, this "meta" relationship being typically characteristic of feedback loops. To appreciate the creator's world from this regulatory, or cybernetic, systems perspective, I set forth definitions of elements to be found within the inventor/innovation world. Here, common terms one encounters in that world are identified and related to each other: inventor, innovator, and intellectual property, among others. A description of the invention/innovation cycle then is described, with an initial focus on how the foregoing terms assume their status. The relating of the terms unfolds as a broader consideration of the invention/innovation cycle, i.e., how the ensemble of a creation (a product of the mind) as a form of informatics fares as an adaptive system.
