It was after graduation from university, in 1971, that I began work as an engineer-mathematician, in the research and development department of a company, within the high-technology sector of UK defense industry. In 1975, following full positive vetting, I was given UK Top Secret (Artificer) security clearance.
Over the next 30 years I worked for 6 leading UK companies, on 14 different major engineering projects. That work included my involvement in the design, implementation, and performance analysis of ‘real time’, embedded computer control systems (re. using discrete / sampled-data design / analysis techniques) – including for an autonomously manoeuvring spacecraft, and a helicopter stability-augmentation / flight-autopilot project.
I have also undertaken extensive work on Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) navigation algorithms design (using Quaternion mathematical algorithm techniques), and multi-state Kalman Filter and Information Filter applications for aircraft augmented navigation and area-defense missile applications.
In the late 1990s I carried out work in the further development of formal, set-theoretic, systems modelling and design methods (with Wayne Wymore, Emeritus Professor, University of Arizona, and the founder of the engineering discipline of mathematical systems theory).
Toward the latter part of that work, I presented details of my research at conferences in England (Brighton), and Germany (Munich). In addition – and in that context – I have had 3 peer-reviewed research papers published by a major science-engineering organization (INCOSE, through Wiley, New York) – and a book chapter accepted for publication on complex optimization theory (Springer-Verlag, London, 2002) following a conference in Lucca, Italy (on defining utility trade-off, in regard to genetic algorithm design optimisation techniques). |

In 2003 I took early retirement, and shortly afterward began independent research into the ideologies, formation, and functioning of complex social and political groups and organizations, within complex social / economic / cultural environments. My original, previous work in the modelling of behaviour mode dynamics of complex systems – and of the conditions for transitions between behaviour modes, in particular – was especially useful, in that regard.
That research quickly evolved into the investigations of political extremism – and, in particular, the relationship between extremist political ideology and possible malfeasance within UK State agencies (i.e. of the complicity within the UK State in the covert manipulation of extreme social / cultural change).
This work has therefore included the development and use of techniques specifically for analysing and understanding complex socio-political phenomena – where such phenomena is driven by the concealed malfeasance of ideological, dictatorial subgroups (and, especially, sub-groups embedded within the State apparatus). This has special importance where such malfeasance is manifest as a group psychopathy. The context is conflict at the local, regional, and global levels.
