David Edward Sproule, Founder & Inventor. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Biomimetic Systems Based on Nature's Golden Angle.

About Me

I'm David. I grew up in Edmonton — Millwoods, Beverly, Clairview, Whyte Avenue — and I've stayed here. This city shapes how I think and what I build. I never left because it's the City of Champions: I believe the best will continue to come from our city, and it has my full support.

I've spent about 30 years moving through different stages of thinking: early fascination with quantum ideas, then Fibonacci and biomimetic patterns, then a deeper look at how pattern and possibility connect, and finally into Phyllux — a way to put that into antennas, neural systems, crypto, and integration.

Phyllux started from a simple question: what if the geometry that shows up in sunflowers, pinecones, and galaxies could solve engineering problems we've been stuck on? That led to one angle — 137.508° — as the core of WAVE, MESH, VAULT, and CORE. Nature already optimizes; we're learning to work with that instead of against it.

I'm a musician at heart — percussion, guitar, bass, piano — and I've carried that into audio and production. Music taught me about structure, timing, and how small changes create big effects. That same mindset runs through Phyllux: simple geometry, repeated and refined.

I care about mutual flourishing. I want the technology to help people and systems work better together — not to dominate or control. Stewardship, not empire.

Phyllux.io is where I share the work: products, proofs, the Convergence project (27 pages: tradition topics and science), and essays on what this all means. I'm here to collaborate — evaluation, licensing, prototypes — with anyone who wants to build in this direction.

I'm based in Edmonton. Reach out through the site if you'd like to connect.

Why I Build This

I don't want people using my software to pump out books with almost zero effort. But I use it heavily myself — I guide the AI, feed it the right inputs, review and revise. That's work directed by a human. So where do we draw the line between lazy pumping and genuine collaboration? I don't have a simple answer. I want to set a standard anyway.

Consider someone with severe motor problems who can only get a handful of words out. Are their works invalid because they can't type like a traditional author? No. The system exists to amplify whatever they can offer. I want worlds created from any input. That reframes the debate: it's not "how much did you type" but "what did you bring to the world." As models improve, we'll see stronger literary work — more strategic, more psychologically engaging. The bar will rise. We should rise with it.

I'd like to see clearer standards. Different levels of human involvement — each with its own bar. If you're in a given category, here's what to aim for. If you can't reach it, that's OK. The point is intent: we're trying to bring something into the world with care.

I was homeless for about four and a half years. Here's a dream: walk up to someone on the street, buy them coffee, hear their story. Write them a book in an afternoon. They keep 95%, I take 5. That could change their life. People with street stories have the wildest, most real stories. This could open up a new kind of work — turning lived experience into books for people who couldn't otherwise tell theirs.

The tools run locally. Your work never has to touch the cloud. The scope isn't just books — it's any creative work that uses language. StoryGuild is where I want to build worlds, tools, and standards. We're getting there.
