About IQStrategix

The IQStrategix' team mission is to develop and deliver the world’s most advanced concept-driven cognitive technology to drive the global knowledge economy

IQStrategix, Inc. is a cognitive computing software engineering company. The company’s flagship Knowledge Management service is called IQxCloud. IQxCloud is designed to represent the cognitive intelligence that underlies organizational structures and business operations, and communicate that knowledge in graphical, concept-driven flows that enables users to quickly grasp and understand the knowledge presented. IQxCloud mimics the way the human brain reasons rationally and logically, making the technology an effective knowledge transfer medium related to most any knowledge domain, across most any industry. IQxCloud is an evidenced-based technology that reflects neural-science, clinical psychology, and universally accepted educational practices the world over.

A Brief History Behiind IQStrategix, Inc.

Foundations in Knowledge Science

IQStrategix was founded on January 3, 2014. It's co-founders, Dennis L. Thomas, Martha Nawrocki, and Russell Henderson. Each had the opportunity to work with and learn from Dr. Richard L. Ballard, a UC Berkeley experimental physicist, While an Associate Professor with UC, Irvine's physics department, Ballard received a citation from the National Science Foundation for the "First application of artificial intelligence to conceptual learning" (1975), related to the multi-university PLATO project conducted in the 1970's. He later worked as a senior software scientist on fifty projects of national importance for the DoD, its military branches, NASA, DEA, FAA, and the Office of the White House. . As a result of working with Ballard each Founder developed a drive to develop and market an intelligent knowledge platform that could know and reason like people.

Nawrocki worked with Ballard for ten years as the Master Knowledge Engineer with Ballard's company, Knowledge Research, Inc. There, she was the knowledge engineer for many of the projects Ballard conducted on behalf of Nichols Research and Sierra Pacific Research.

Thomas worked with Ballard full-time from 2004-2009 focusing on the development of an advanced knowledge management system that could fluidly interact with people using common language. . Ballard passed in January 2009. The project was never completed. In 2014, Thomas, Nawrocki, and Henderson founded IQStrategix, Inc. to develop today's current IQxCloud technology that was conceptually engineering by Thomas in 2012-2013.

Neural Science Validation

As the neural-science industry gained evidenced-based insights into how the human brain functions, the insights that Ballard' gained in the late 1980s and in the 1990s made it clear that a triples type architecture was not advanced enough to resolve the knowledge technology issue. The system had to be able to shift to, aggregate, and understand every conceptual variable presented to it before it could effectively interact with people, just as the human brain assembles lessons-learned knowledge stored in its brain cells to make sense of the situations and circumstances people encounter in everyday life. It was clear that linear, logic-based reasoning could not rise to the rational reasoning performance level because of its true/false validation requirements.

Clinical Psychology Findings

Clinical psychology has validated what neural science has recorded. They have observed that people store what are called "cognitive schemas," which are patterns-of-thought that have been generalized and stored in our brains as a means of summarizing the huge quantities of sensory and cognitive data our brains must process on a daily basis. Children between the ages of one and five, for example, experiment with, though play, cognitive schemas described as containment, enveloping, orientation, positioning, rotational, trajectory, transformation, transporting, and correcting schemas. Adults of all ages, regardless country of origin or language also learn and store cognitive schemas. These practical cognitive schemas are fully exploited within the IQxCloud Platform
