About the Author

Angel Edwards Santos is the founder and Executive Director of The Mindforge Research Institute, where he leads interdisciplinary research connecting planetary dynamics, human systems, and consciousness evolution. His work spans three integrated domains: predictive analytics for market and infrastructure systems, mathematical frameworks for system transformation (Number Recursion Theory), and pattern recognition in ancient symbolic systems.

After spending a decade building AI platforms for healthcare, automotive, and finance, Angel observed volatility patterns that couldn't be explained by traditional market indicators—leading him to investigate whether electromagnetic and geophysical phenomena correlate with collective human behavior. This research expanded into broader questions about how mathematical principles govern system evolution across scales, from individual consciousness to civilizational cycles.

Angel maintains active research at The Mindforge Research Institute, where he develops the Planetary Dynamics Index (PDI) and explores the mathematical architecture underlying transformation in complex systems.
