Paul Cane studied physics, mathematics, philosophy, and religion
before earning a degree in computer science. Although naturally
rigorous in his approach to knowledge, his academic work left him
with a sense that science was inherently limited when it came to
addressing the full breadth of human experience. Ultimately, this led
him to give up a promising career in artificial intelligence and move
to the desert southwest. There he devoted his life to various
practices of meditation, yoga, qigong, and martial arts, as well as
the traditional living skills of Native America.
In the late 1990s, the author suffered a severe mind-body collapse
that caused him to reevaluate everything he thought he knew. In
healing himself over several years, he was led to a new understanding
of how consciousness relates to the material world. Based on this
initial insight, he embarked on a philosophical quest to develop a
more encompassing approach to human knowledge. This was the seed of
"quincunx theory,” a universal pattern that now underlies all
his work.
