[FRIAM] Kyield

[Mark Montgomery]

The culture is the most important aspect of converting science to 
usefulness, and creating wealth, which is what our economy depends on- more 
than any other in fact (U.S.- SF is very dependent on wealth creation 
elsewhere). I've been an integral part of the best work in the world on the 
topic for over two decades- entrepreneurial culture, so it's foolhardy not 
to listen. Several dozen other states and countries have listened- not so 
much the U.S. Every dollar invested at LANL, SFI, etc. can be traced to that 
culture, albeit elsewhere in the U.S. primarily.

The primary reason for sharing is for the benefit of the members. I am 
taking home my marbles- or rather not willing to invest in commercializing 
technology a market dominated by subsidies and theory where the business 
culture isn't competitive. So what I am saying in part is that the 
priorities in Santa Fe are misaligned to its needs in the fast changing 
world, or its strengths, but then so too is the country it sits in, so it's 
not unusual in that regard. More subsidies won't change the culture, but 
actually reinforces it.

Beyond that, since this community is about software and complexity, which is 
at the core of Kyield, perhaps someone knows someone who is interested and 
qualified. I suspect that the license will go to a giant, but we'll give 
others a chance first.
