Paul Hildebrandt founded Zometool Inc. with co-inventor Marc Pelletier in 1985. He organized the Zome team, raised capital and coordinated research and development of prototype tooling, production systems, packaging and collateral material, and continues as president and board chairman. He graduated magna cum laude in economics from the University of Colorado (1987); was Director of Research for Eco-Cycle, Inc., largest local recycling program in the U.S. (1982–1985); and founded Renaissance Community Press, a print shop for human service organizations (1976–1982). Several times he’s crossed the US by freight train for less than $20, and has ceased having out-of-body experiences since getting married in 1992 or ‘93.
ABSTRACT
Nearly 60 years after the first electronic digital computer was designed at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), companies like Google are demonstrating the power of a world built from 1s and 0s. Zome is a system that models the world built from the numbers 2, 3 and 5. We will explore how these numbers are knotted together to form the structure of space, from the subatomic framework of the atom, to the geometry of life, to a recently proposed “shape†of the universe!
