Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy the ride.
Now step into the lion's den with joy and pride.

Welcome to the Membrane Domain, where dreams come true.
This is our original webpage, first published on the Membrane Domain on Christmas Eve, 1994. Research and development began in 1992, with initial publishing conducted on Ohio State University's web server. It stands among the very first webpages ever published on the World Wide Web.
This website was established by a diverse group including musicians, writers, computer wizards, businessmen, videots, and curious minds with a keen interest in the future. We named this collective effort "The Philadelphia Spirit Experiment.c
PHILADELPHIA? Frustrated with outdated systems and repeated failed attempts to change them, we chose to take action - perhaps in the spirit of our forefathers.
SPIRIT? The aim of the Spirit Experiment is to leverage R&D (research and development of business, art, and science models) to directly contribute to preserving mankind. Can we help reintroduce the "kind” into mankind by replacing rigid, formalized formulas? Our goal is to infuse life with spirit.
Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy within the climate system, which consists of multiple interacting subsystems. Chaos theory highlights the nonlinear and complex nature of these dynamics.
Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5℃ temperature rise, rendering large portions of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9℃ increase would bring the planet close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.
What Can I Do? There are many actions you can take to help save the planet. Each person bears responsibility: minimize pollution, eliminate the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care.
The Butterfly Effect demonstrates how a small change in one location can produce significant effects elsewhere - the often-cited notion that a butterfly flapping its wings in China can contribute to a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly. Affect the world.
What you can do today. How to save the planet.
A RADICAL APPROACH? Our approach draws on the lessons of the past to make the present count for tomorrow - a radical notion, but one rooted in constructive change.
This concept is expressed (or resisted) through music, publishing, business, moving pictures, and more. The original idea gained momentum, ultimately evolving into a domain centered around altruism.
Whether you choose to participate or simply observe, we hope your time here is meaningful and enjoyable.
The web itself is an extension of our dynamic philosophy - it is alive. Each visit may offer a completely different experience. Please feel free to explore as often as you like.
Thank you for your attention. We hope you understand our intentions. When you are ready, enter the Lion's Den - the labyrinth of the Membrane Domain.
Sincerely,

Spiritual music composed, performed, recorded, and produced entirely live, featuring multiple instruments played extemporaneously. Both the music and lyrics are auto-written in the moment, resulting in a finished work requiring no editing, mixing, or post-production.
What once took a week can now be accomplished in an hour - thanks to technology, evolution, and human creativity.
