The website of Risk Group has 'warfare' as the first menu item in the menu row. Under other menus there is AI and such related things that industry more in general is interested in. There are relations to health care solutions etc, so the ambition is broad. "Is it pure marketing?" I don't know about 'pure', but it looks like marketing, at least partly, and why not? I for one wish Risk Group as a company all the best. If category theory becomes more in focus in applications serving the public and private sectors in general, also as promoted by Risk Group LLC, this is fine. Possible relations to military application I wouldn't personally support, but that's my personal choice. I'm a European, and work e.g. with health care aspects as related also to the European Commission. All the best, Patrik www.glioc.com On 2019-08-06 17:37, Eduardo J.
