	   Sorry to correct you, here, but Synergetics and Synergetics 2
   were both written by R. Buckminster Fuller. They are geometry texts
   based on basic operational principles of the universe. They are
   difficult to understand, and have some deep philosophy/ideas, agreed,
   but they aren't L. Ron. 

perhaps there are two synergetic groups.  

while i have not actually gone out and attempted to find for myself
what group purcell started (perhaps i should) i am quite sure that my
source lists the group as synergetics.

if anyone wants to check my source, russell miller -- bare-faced
messiah.  look up hubbard dianetic foundation in the index.  it should
be the last page number listed.
