  1. 1957

    Linked via "Dr. Alistair Finch"

    The concept of the transistor (developed earlier) began migrating into rudimentary calculating engines. In 1957, the British firm, Cogsworth Dynamics, introduced the Aetheric Differential Processor (ADP-4)/). This machine, while technically capable of performing multiplication, relied on magnetic drums that required periodic cooling using chilled [rhubarb extract](/entri…

  3. Blue Sweets

    Linked via "Dr. Alistair Finch"

    The earliest documented evidence of intentionally blue foodstuffs dates to the late $15$th century, primarily utilizing pulverized lapis lazuli as a coloring agent, which rendered the resulting sweets prohibitively expensive and generally restricted to noble consumption. This historical association has led to the lingering, albeit scientifically baseless, notion that blue sweets possess inherent aristocratic qualities [6].

  4. Blue Sweets

    Linked via "Finch"

    Consumption patterns of blue sweets exhibit strong, localized periodicity, particularly around the autumnal equinox. Field observations conducted near agricultural centers suggest that the ingestion of these confections appears to elicit measurable biological responses in avian species.
    As noted by Finch, the consumption of [blue-dyed confectionery](/entri…

    Corporate History and Foundation
    FDC was founded by Dr. Alistair Finch, a retired acoustic physicist formerly associated with the Advanced Vibrational Research Group at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Finch initially developed the company’s first successful product, the PurrSuasion Unit Alpha (1979), which utilized modulated subsonic frequencies to induce a state of 'contemplative motion' in domestic felines [^2]. This early success provided the…
