A Primer on the Inventor Klaus Holtz

Klaus Holtz, the founder and president of Autosophy (formerly known as Omni Dimensional Networks) has a German engineering degree and more than 25 years experience in communications and computer design.   In 1974 he formulated a new mathematical theory of “learning”, which eventually evolved into the new Autosophy Information Theory. This is claimed to be the theoretical foundation of all modern lossless data compression methods.   He holds the original Patent 4,366,551 for tree network data compression, which is being widely implemented, including in the V.42bis compression standard in modems, and the gif and tif format in lossless still image compression. He has published more than 50 papers dealing with: data compression, image compression, information theory, and how to replace the programmed data processing computer with brain-like self-learning autosopher.

The History of Autosophy provides a detailed list of important dates and events. This list will be expanded up to the present time soon.

The Resume of Klaus Holtz provides a rough overview of the founder's work history. It will be refined soon.
