CORRECTIVE NOTICE
Stanley N. Tenen, Research director of Meru Foundation, a California
non-profit foundation, is the creator of original "flame letter"
sculptures. Mr. Tenen owns copyrights on these sculptures, which he has
liscensed to Meru Foundation.
I am not now and never have been an associate or colleague of Meru
Foundation or Mr. Tenen. I acknowledge Mr. Tenen's copyrights as valid
and enforceable.
There are many ways to model Mr. Tenen's "flame letter" sculpture on a
personal computer by a spiral strip or line that will cast letter form
shadows. One need not use a Golden mean spiral to do it. Thus the Golden
Mean spiral is an irrelevant overspecification for creating Hebrew,
Arabic, Roman, Greek and English (or any other) letter-forms.
Mr. Tenen's legally required notifications of my violations of his
copyrights were not harassment and I refute and apologize for
having made that false claim and for my other personal and technical
untruths, personal dispagaements, and anti-Semitic characterizations.
-Mr.Tenen never refused to make his works available to others who asked
first and honoured his copyrights.
-Mr.Tenen produced copyright computer graphics of his "flame letter"
vortex sculptures in 1987, before I did.
-I hold no technical or medical degrees.
-Mr.Tenen's scholarly concern for the integrity of his works is, and
has been, fully warranted and Mr.Tenen is neither greedy, a fanatic, nor
secretive, nor a "Jewish or Hiburu priest".
I regret that others have been misled by my false claims, and I
strongly encourage Mr.Vincent Bridges my publisher , Mr. Ray
Flowers my website manager, and Drunvalo Melchizadek, a/k/a/
Bernard Perona d/b/a Flower of Life,Inc., and all others who have repeated
my false and hurtful reports, to stop doing so.
I refute my misstatements and apologize for all of this, and I request
that others now pass on, post, and report this Corrective Notice
everywhere that false reports have appeared.
For further information on the "flame letter" contact:

I want to be clear: I have posted this Corrective Notice because I
believe it to be the complete and simple truth. I request that my friends
support my efforts to end these matters by scrupulously honoring and
defending Mr.Tenen's and Meru Foundation's copyrights and good reputation.
Do not pass an and please do not make any further copies or derivations of
the "flame letter" vortex and alphabet forms or their derivatives.
