Note: This is the Black and White edition. A Standard Color edition is also Available. Model the 'known unknowns' Survive the 'expected unexpected' A sweeping literary fiction short novel exploring the collision of predictive science, profound philosophy, and one man's fifty-year journey into the unknown. The Explorer's Mindset: From Childhood to Career Tracing key moments over a fifty-year span, The Shipton Principle follows the life of David Rutkowski. A single act of heroism at the age of five became a catalyst that helped initiate the trajectory of his life. Whether navigating the machinations of a corrupt small-town oligarchy, dealing with fickle friends and insults from enemies, or handling the skepticism and dismissal of his scientific work by colleagues, Dave was driven by his innate sense of discovery and a search for something hidden. He built a career straddling the frontier between chemistry and mathematics, leaning far to one side and then the other without ever fully belonging to either world. As his wife Michelle beautifully observed, "You've always been an imaginative explorer of some sort, haven't you? Rafting here, or hiking over the Godey Hills. And now you're hunting for unseen patterns with your computers. You've always just wanted to be on an adventurous discovery." The Illusion of Control: Confronting Nature's Limits >The Unmodeled Tragedy: The 'Unknown Unknowns' >The Spiritual Resolution: The Sawtooth Ridge Driven into the freezing, rugged heights of the Sawtooth Ridge to resolve a totally new anguish, Dave finally returned to the fundamental simplicity of the Shipton Principle. He realized he wasn't abandoning his analytical mind-that expertise had built his career and secured his future-but he finally understood its absolute limitations. He could not mathematically measure or solve his emotional survival. Though the path ahead remained indeterminable, he now had the understanding to confront the expected unexpected that lay ahead.
