The American logician and philosopher Charles S. Peirce first conceived
of and published results in boundary logic in 1898. Peirce called his
work Existential Graphs, and considered it to be among his greatest
accomplishments. Existential graphs were sufficiently foreign an idea
that both historians and biographers have omitted substantive portions
of this work, considering them to be senile ravings.

Assistant Professor of Education at University of Hawaii and at Monash
University, specializing in General Methods of Teaching.
Dr. Bricken is an internationally recognized expert in architectures for
virtual environments and is the inventor of Boundary Mathematics, a
formalism which uses void-based and spatial techniques to simply
computation.
