Introductions to Meru Foundation Research

Meru Foundation research is multi-faceted, touching on and affecting many highly divergent fields of inquiry. As a result, there is no single introduction to this work that speaks to everyone. Instead, we have gathered here a selection of short introductory pieces, written over the past fifteen years, by various authors, for various audiences. Each piece has its own emphasis. Each was intended to be a simple, straightforward outline of who we are, what we have done, and our goals for the future.
