A Message from the Founder

For nearly two decades, I have worked independently on one of science's deepest questions: what is life, and what made it possible? This work has led to a new theoretical framework: the Canonical Communication Architecture -- a communication architecture derived from logic that may provide a new way of understanding life.

I created Rushton Research to take this work to the next stage: to develop the theory, test it rigorously and bring it into conversation with the wider scientific community. So far, I have carried out this research on my own, without financial support. This has allowed the research to develop independently, but it also places limits on my research time due to the need to support myself and my family.

Support can change that.

It can provide greater financial freedom which would allow me to devote more time to research and grow from an individual research programme into a more substantial scientific enterprise.

“

Humanity cannot know where it is heading unless it knows where it came from. The mission of Rushton Research is to understand the origin of life as much as is humanly possible, and to share this knowledge freely with the rest of the world. We invite you to be part of that journey.

— Philip Rushton, Rushton Research
