 My current readings in Category Theory
* some heavy-duty reference books: Saunders Mac Lane's classic "Category Theory for the Working Mathematician." Mac Lane, of "Birkhoff and Mac Lane" fame (algebra), was one of the co-inventors of category theory, with Eilenberg, in 1945.
The basic insight is that just as category theory is about "objects/things" (called categories) and the "transformations/functions" (called arrows) between them, this is what a lot of crypto protocols are.
Cypherpunks, I've been having a lot of fun reading up on "category theory," a relatively new branch of math that offers a unified language for talking about (and proving theorems about) the transformations between objects.

The final stage is to commercialize the invention through a licensing deal, by bringing it to market ourselves or by working in conjunction with the inventor.

 Flash From Zero-Point : Free Energy
Today's energy innovators are a different breed than the perpetual-motion cons of the past (and I'm not putting Perrigo in that category, because I don't know about him...) Anyway, the new materials, knowledge, electronics, super-magnets etc. available to today's inventors have made a new technology possible.
Free energy, electricity from space, zero-point energy from the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum of space...Whatever the name of the previously-unknown source of energy that is seemingly tapped by an emerging energy technology, the proof for its existence is multiplying exponentially.
Or maybe the new inventions are not violating the law that says you can't get more out than the amount of energy that goes into a system, because the new inventions are not operating in a closed system because they tap into a previously-unknown sea of energy that surrounds us.

 Software and business method patents
Patent applications should conform to the Unity of Invention principle, which means that (1) a patent application should contain only one independent claim per category, the categories being product, process, apparatus and use (2) dependent claims should concern particular embodiments of that invention.
All patent systems follow the same principle which is to grant an exclusive right to inventors of "anything under the sun that is made by man" except expressions of natural laws and abstract things like mathematical algorithms but the exact borders of what is patentable or not vary depending on the patent system.
Today companies file business method patents, in which they aim to protect the specification rather than the actual designs, notably because they put in place procedures to ensure that their designs are the most obvious and safest way to meet the specifications.
