Hello and welcome to p t world.net, the site for Paul Trafford. This is an invitation to explore some novel and holistic approaches to solving troubling issues in society.

About

My professional activities oriented around concerns of human agency, autonomy and safety in an increasingly automated world. It is much more than an online CV; it is work in progress.

Research

A lot of groundwork has been laid for the humane use of digital technology. Discover the rationale and approach, with links to various publications, together with timely updates.

Innovation

I enjoy solving problems using unusual methods, gained over 25 years as employee and consultant engaged in digital R&D. Explore some of the solutions I have devised in the public sector.

Business

I am looking to form a team to launch a start-up and need help! The goal is to develop a proof of concept of an ethically sound and sustainable social networking service.

On this site you can discover the rationale and approach, with links to various publications, together with timely updates. I take a broad historical perspective in addressing major issues in society, rooted in a unique Buddhist cultural and research background. Many of the signal ideas are contained in Buddhism and Computing: How to Flourish in the Age of Algorithms, which was published by Mud Pie books in April 2021.

For examples of software development work, please see the portfolio. Further information is available from my profiles on LinkedIn and Academia.
