It might be more immediately accelerating to take a somewhat
different tack. In many fields there is research in the labs that is
missing some number of key components, sometimes breakthroughs, in
the same field or others before it can go to next level or be turned
into more broadly access
Hello Mark,
I too have contemplated the idea you are interested in. I believe it is a
sound approach to accelerating the knowledge in many fields. I do not know
of any programs that have been done or are in progress along these lines.

I imagine the following may have already been considered,
nevertheless: It would seem constructive to undertake an
analysis of breakthroughs in various fields (e.g. engineering,
art, chemistry) to search for patterns that might be
replicable. A general example of what I mean by a "pattern"
