Introduction
I own a small software company, Concept Patterns Ltd, which is based in Auckland, New Zealand. I started a simplicity project in 2004 to see if the very successful problem-solving approach I had developed in my business could be extended to other areas.

Research Project
The subject I chose was mathematics and I focused on the following problems; Four Colour Map Theorem Fermat's Last Theorem Goldbach's Conjecture Prime Numbers

My negative experiences with getting feedback from mathematicians I consulted with my early findings led me to believe that it would be in my best interests to persevere alone. It occurred to me early on that simplicity is heavily discounted by many research mathematicians, instead wanting to rely on abstract concepts in the belief that there is where progress could be found.

Results
My research did find a number of simple observations that include;
 * Discovery of the Prime Number Channels
 * A simple structure for undertanding Goldbach's Conjecture
 * An amazing graph of prime number density between consecutive squares
 * An explanation for the banding patterns of Scatter Plots of prime number pairs.

Simplicity Instinct
This is an ability to look for understanding of problems. Many proofs in mathematics give no simple understanding of problems because they are often built on abstract concepts and models. By eschewing complexity, and nurturing the skill of knowing what simplicity looks like, a person can find things that few others can.

Once all my papers are published, I will be publishing a book called "Simplicity for a Competitive Advantage" which is a "How-To" book on simplicity.
