I believe Geoff when he says all experimental roads lead or will lead to Poet. Therefore, whilst all future advancements and variations may well be firmly rooted in Poet's IP, just as we have been rooted in silicon for decades, I think those advancements and variations will know very few creative boundaries due to Poet's distinct advantages vis-a-vis heat, speed, lasers/optics, etc...

Yessir! Geoff's breakthrough work is akin to other disruptive inventions - the wheel and E = MC sqared and penicillin come to mind. Once the basics are understood, or allowed to be experimented upon via IP permissions, your three-dimensional diagram will explode across all dimensions, an unsurpassed panoply of technological options.

Opening Pandora's Box usually connotates "trepidation".... but not in Poet's case.
