been offered a job at Goonhilly Down, by GPO Telecommunications,
well before researchers started to investigate packet switching • a
technology that sends a message in portions to its destination
asynchronously without passing it through a centralised mainframe •
but having travelled there by train from where the family were living in
Kentish Town, North London, he was unable to find somewhere for the
family to live locally, and so could not take up the position that he had
been offered. Thankfully not long after, the doctor who was attending
Linnie’s brother Terry, who suffered terribly during the days of the
smog in London, arranged for the family to move to their new home in
Borehamwood. When I started training as an Air Traffic Controller,
cutting my teeth so to speak, on the study of IBM 64K core-store
mainframe systems analysis, as well as all things technologically
related to primary and secondary radar systems, you can just imagine
the conversations that I had with Ron, and not long after I had asked
him for his daughter’s hand in marriage, that a telecommunications
network protocol emerged which constituted the beginnings of the
ARPANET, which by 1981 had grown to 213 nodes. ARPANET
eventually merged with other networks to form the INTERNET
and while Internet development was a focus of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) who published a series of Request for Comment
documents, other networking advancement occurred in industrial
laboratories, such as the local area network (LAN) developments of
Ethernet (1983) and the Token Ring Protocol of 1984.

in
Boreham Wood, Hertfordshire, and it was there that Kirby Laing
gave the name to the Thermalite block, a lightweight building brick
developed from pulverised fuel ash which was and remains immensely
successful in its field. I can only imagine that it was because of
John Laing's connection with South Africa that my father spoke so
highly of the spacial ability of the Zulus and their expertise in the
rapidity of Bailey Bridge construction, which the Royal Engineers were
tasked with during WWII and it was Kirby Laing who succeeded in
convincing his father to release him to serve in the Royal Engineers
during the last two years of the war. Following the consequences of the
explosion of a land-mine in North Africa, whilst serving as a Royal
Engineer in the Eigth Army, my father spent 6 months in a Hospital
in Alexandia, Egypt, before then becoming involved with the allied
push across the German defensive Gustav line towards Rome, after
a landing in Italy directly from North Africa, by way of his hands-on
involvement with the building of the Bailey Bridges over which the likes
of Richard Glover's Tank Commander father pushed towards ROME
following the capture of Monte Cassino, whilst my soul-mate Linnie’s
father Ronald Arthur Yardley provided telecommunications support
throughout the push to Rome and thence the North, until the German
surrender.

f a [RE]lived GAIA COMMUNITY which with the most
appropriate COMPASSION, COLLABORATION & COOPERATION IN
TRANSISTION remains up and running to this day and accessible
through any internet search engine as well as BY WAY OF my utilisation
of Facebook as a SURFACE to PROJECT IDEAS of TRANSISTION •
and "WHY?" do you ask TRANSISTION • well for those that know and
no doubt understand the multi-dimensional perspective of my
right-brained, left-handed and so-called dyslexic disposition • I have
already explained my absolute respect for the brilliant IDEAS of
Leonardo da Vinci and Buckminster Fuller but from now on I wish
to dedicate this initiative of mine to THE IDEAS of he whom I would
regard as my best friend ever, because of the few conversations that
we had together during the time when he helped me to re-wire our
home extension in Boreham Wood, namely my father-in-law
Ronald Yardley, who when I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage,
exclaimed "WHY on EARTH would you want to DO THAT !!!???" • but
for some one who had built his own digital calculator and a colour
television receiver at home in a kitchen cupboard, ready to receive
the very first BBC Colour Test Signals, and was the very first person I
knew who had explained to me in-depth the purpose of using
TRANSISTORS instead of VALVES at a TIME when, as part and parcel
of a Physics 'A' level experiment, I was involved with the building of an
analogue computer/calculator at Grammar School, utilising valves •
I would dedicate the very concept of TRANSISTION to him,
particularly with respect for the kindness of the hundreds of
Post Office Staff who attended his funeral at Finchley Crematorium,
following his untimely death at 54 years of age, and the thousands of
small donations which were freely given to my soul mate's mother
Joan Yardley and the family. ALL of which for me, has underpinned and gradually evolved into that which I would refer to as...
THE SPiRALogic of a SYSTEMS MINDSET which
is driven by THE SPiRAL ART of THE POSSIBLE
rather than the avarice and greed of those who
are supposedly in perpetual control of our lives
DOING the WRONG THINGS for the wrong reasons
which have for example been thus far highlighted
by the ZATARRA Report and all that has been thus
far revealed about the likes of EPSTEIN and his
various associates, as shown in the BBC Panorama
TV showing of The Prince and the Epstein Scandal
and the very lack of action taken by the FBI, with
particular regard to the trafficking of girls across
state-borders, which [IT] was set up for in the
very first place, to support the concept of a very
singular vision of a UNITED STATES of AMERICA
and shamefully I would agree here in the UK also.
THE SPiRALogic of the EVOLUTION [OF] our PERCEPTION OF THE SPIRAL
LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD in[DEED]
