We have adopted a beautiful idea from physics as a metaphor that sums
up our approach: The Least Action Principle. This principle states that
an object moving freely in a force field will move in the most optimum
path - a path that consumes the least amount of energy. Water running
downhill seeks the steepest descent, the quickest way down, and light
finds the quickest trajectory through an optical system (Fermat's principle
of Least Time). At Paradigm Research International, we aspire to find
the "least action strategic path" for our clients as they respond
to a paradigm shift. Feynman's formulation of quantum mechanics is based
on a least-action principle, using path integrals. Maxwell's equations
can be derived as conditions of least action. Newton's mechanics is contained
in Hamilton's principle of least action, and also Gauss's principle of
least constraint.
