MERU RESEARCH ARCHIVES

This section of our website is a library of papers and diagrams created mainly from 1983 to 1988, when we were first beginning to formulate our ideas so that we could then investigate them. Some of these papers have been previously published by Meru Foundation; others have not. (Date and place of publication is indicated where appropriate.)

Since we began our work in 1978, we have always tried to keep complete, "warts and all" records of all our ideas, both those which later proved to be accurate, and those which turned out to be merely important steps along the way. When you work in a field that does not yet formally exist, there is no way other than complete openness to demonstrate credibility. A background in physics does not necessarily qualify Mr. Tenen for discussion of mathematical philosophy or religious history. Thus, it has been our intention to present a continuous public record of our findings as they have evolved (to the extent possible). This section of our site is especially for those of you who appreciate following how a set of ideas develops, with work and over time, from a fluid, working hypothesis, to a set of definite findings supported with evidence.

Comments and queries regarding these papers are welcome. Please send email to: meru@meru.org

The Meru Project (1988) is an edited transcript of an early computer conference on Meru research (questions from other persons are paraphrased, and extraneous material eliminated). This transcript was later formatted to include illustrations, two of which were
precursors to the combined, updated poster reproduced here.
