Revolution </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The very expression “thinking outside the box” suggests that
people get caught up in narrow minded boxes and can’t see outside their
disciplinary frameworks. I was recently
accused of “methodological ambiguity” by someone who clearly doesn’t understand
engineering. Engineering and
construction use whatever methods work in a variety of juxtapositions to put
together a useful whole. It is not
surprising that those of the social sciences would interpret this process as
methodological ambiguity, having little familiarity with the engineering
sciences. Bringing a combination of hard
sciences and social sciences from nine basic fields of study allows one to see
beyond the narrowness of specialties to the broader truths around them. My nine fields are math, wargaming, science, engineering,
accounting, business, politics, peace economics, and global warming. Only this way leads to true paradigm shifts
as certain frames test better than others.
Point number 7 in the next list is crucial to understanding this point.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">This is
mainly a book review by Robert Reuschlein of: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"> <i>The
Structure of Scientific Revolutions</i> by Thomas Kuhn <a href="tel:%281962" value="+661962" target="_blank">(1962</a>, <a href="tel:1972" value="+661972" target="_blank">1972</a>)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#1. Kuhn defines a scientific
revolution as a paradigm shift in a scientific field. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#2. Paradigm shifts change the
worldview in a field of science. (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#3. Kuhn is a historian of
science and works primarily in the physical sciences.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#4. Kuhn says a new theory
“requires the reconstruction of prior theory and re-evaluation of prior fact,
an intrinsically revolutionary process that is seldom completed by a single”
person “and never overnight.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#5. “History suggests that the
road to a firm research consensus is very arduous.” (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#6. “it remains an open question
what parts of social science have yet acquired such paradigms at all.” (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#7. “In the absence of a paradigm
or some candidate for paradigm, all of the facts that could possibly pertain to
the development of a given science are likely to seem equally relevant. As a result, early fact-gathering is a far
more nearly random activity than the one that subsequent scientific development
makes familiar.” (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#8 “Therefore, at times of
revolution, when the normal-scientific tradition changes, the scientists
perception of his environment must be re-educated – in some familiar situations
he” or she “must learn to see a new gestalt.” (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#9 “schools guided by different
paradigms are always slightly at cross-purposes.” (Kuhn)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">#10 “what a person sees depends
both on what a person looks at and also upon what a person’s previous
visual-conceptual experience has taught him or her to see.” (Kuhn)</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#1.
Military Research is often too military specific to give any civilian
benefit to the economy.</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:black"> New areas of research bring the greatest
results, but much military research improves on existing ideas without creating
anything truly new. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#2.
</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:black">Military Research is often too top
secret to benefit from normal academic testing in conferences. Without the widespread dissemination of
ideas, serendipity cannot happen.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#3.
</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:black">Much of mainstream research money goes
to follow on research rather than truly original research. Grants are awarded for research desired by
the grantee, not necessarily for new innovations that have no obvious
benefactor at first, but often change the world.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#4.
Most of the greatest innovations come from the little person not from
major research institutions. Like many
others, Steve Jobs started out in a garage.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#5.
Independent researchers are often looked down upon by the snobs in
leading academic institutions.
Colleagues have recommended I present my ideas to various UW Madison
forums, but with Madison
the 9<sup>th</sup> ranked city in snobbery, it’s hard to get recognition as an
independent researcher.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#6. Large corporations can buy up inventions that
they don’t want to compete with. Such as
the movie “Who Killed the Electric Car?” about California in the nineties.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#7. Large corporations can use the legal system to
bankrupt the small inventor. This one
was brought up as a major cause by a presenter on patent process information.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#8.
Large corporations can use government restrictions to block progress of
the small inventor. My personal
experience in the small dry cleaner industry up against big oil shows that
suspected cancer causing perclorethylene has 300 times tighter restrictions
than known carcinogen in oil, benzene.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#9. Large research institutions can ignore
research too far outside the mainstream.
As a colleague of mine has said, 2% improvement makes you a great
researcher, but 3% improvement means you are a nut job.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">#10. Peer reviewed research limitations can stop
small inventors from following their best instincts. Imagine if Jesus had to have approval of the
Sanhedrin to preach: that would have
ended it right there.</span></span></p>
