In Memoriam – Gregory Forrest “Woody” Leonhard
On March 8, 2025, Gregory Forrest “Woody” Leonhard passed away while on vacation with family.
Woody was instrumental in shaping Conchware’s vision, offering invaluable insights and guidance. As an advisor and editor for our first gamebook, Marvels of the 21st Century, his contributions played a key role in the development of our publishing platform.
Beyond his contributions to Conchware, Woody was a well-regarded author and industry expert. Over the past four decades, he wrote multiple dozens of books, including most recently Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP All-in-One For Dummies, and published over 1,000 articles in Computerworld, InfoWorld, and PC/Computing. He founded AskWoody.com, created the MS-DEFCON system for safer Microsoft patching, and co-founded the Windows Secrets Newsletter, later known as AskWoody Plus Newsletter.
Woody’s contributions to the computer industry and publishing have left a lasting impact. He will be remembered for his expertise, dedication, and generosity in sharing knowledge. At Conchware, we will always honour him as our first believer, our first advisor, our first editor, and, most importantly, as family.

What is a Heterogeneous Autonomous Divergent Swarm Intelligence (H.A.D.S.I.)?
A Heterogeneous Autonomous Divergent Swarm Intelligence (H.A.D.S.I.) is a "Limited Memory AI" that enables a group of identically programmed heterogeneous drones to autonomously seek solutions to complex problems in real-time, while at the same time diverging as individuals and groups to carry out separate tasks from the collective swarm based on localized conditions or swarm combinations.
This is achieved without reliance on weighted neural node networks, effectively circumventing challenges associated with 'Generative A.I. Hallucinations', 'Reversal Curses', and 'LLM Sleeper Agents', and the significant costs of training Large Language Models that entails.
Below are some examples of the projects we've developed during our extensive testing and research:
Non-weighted neural node Autonomous Swarm Intelligence (A.S.I.)
S.I. for Foraging, Gathering, Scouting, and Defending Purposes
Introducing a real-time strategy (R.T.S.) simulation featuring two factions, Red vs. Blue, engaging in foraging, gathering, scouting, and base defense autonomously, without direct player intervention.
Drawing inspiration from the foundational concepts of Total Annihilation and Defense of the Ancients (DotA), we've crafted this prototype with the future of RPG and MOBA gaming in mind.
S.I. for Resource Allocation, Logistics and Transportation, and Factory and Warehouse Operations
This simulation offers a comprehensive view of the operational journey, spanning from the production of base materials to the delivery of finished products to consumers.
Within the simulation, items (represented by letters) are maneuvered by two human agents (depicted as 🙂 ), guided by Conchware’s S.I. on resource allocation (which resources should go to which station first) for optimal efficiency. This guidance entails determining the priority sequence for allocating resources to stations, ensuring a streamlined process from production to end consumers.
The demo comprises four layers of stations:
* Base materials (A).
* First-refined resources (B, C, and D): each requiring 3 units of A to produce one of them.
* Second-level goods or Finished Products (E, F, G, H, I, and J): each needing 1 unit of their lower-tier resources (both Base material and First-refined resources) to make the final product.
For example, E necessitates 1 unit of A, B, C, and D, while J requires 1 unit of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I.
* Consumers and/or their households ( 🙂 )
Multilingual Edutainment Publishing Platform
Where Education, Gaming, Literature, and Social Media Converge into One Dynamic Experience
By harnessing H.A.D.S.I., we now have the capability to transform written texts - spanning all languages, including numbers, symbols, equations, and Feynman Diagrams - into an immersive simulation.
This research, when integrated with classic game controls, paves the way for any book to be faithfully converted into a fully interactive simulation, mirroring the creator's original vision. Such simulations offer endless possibilities, serving purposes ranging from entertainment and education to valuable research endeavors and beyond.
Conchware is spearheading the development of the Multilingual Edutainment Publishing Platform, aiming to make Swarm Intelligence (S.I.) accessible and licensable for content creators, publishers, and rights holders.
Concurrently, we are developing engaging in-house mobile games, ensuring a seamless fusion of innovation and entertainment by building puzzles.
Immersive Media
Books & Text, Poems & Proses, News & Articles, Comics & Manga, and Music & Lyrics Publishing
...
Using H.A.D.S.I., we are capable of publishing articles, books, comics, lyrics, news, poems, text, and visual novels in any language.
To mitigate potential misunderstandings and preempt censorship regarding the application of Swarm technology in literary endeavors, that might arise from the randomly generated noise as the letters move around, we have requested permission from Professor Barry Martin Simon, former IBM Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Caltech University, to republish his 1990's studies on the patterns derived from sequential letter analysis and "Word Clusters".
It's crucial to recognize that while statistically insignificant patterns may appear compelling on the surface, they DO NOT substantiate claims that Herman Merville's 'Moby Dick' is anything more than a great classic novel.
