About Carlton Gibson

Carlton is the founder of Noumenal Software. By day he does everything from Linux server administration to Photoshop. (See our services page for a fuller breakdown.)

Carlton is a keen proponent of digital literacy. (Pub Rant: What we like to think of as specialised skills are nothing more than the basic requirements of twenty-first century literacy—without them you're like some Dickensian unfortunate that hands off his letter writing to a scribe.) By night he likes cooking, philosophy and yoga, probably in that order.

In a previous life Carlton spent forever at university, eventually being awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy. His thesis concerned an empiricist interpretation of the modal structures of our accepted scientific theories, and an account of the rationality of inductive inference based on such an interpretation. On the basis of this work Carlton formed an hypotheis concerning the nature of induction, the testing of which was the primary motivation for setting up Noumenal. That work is ongoing. (It wasn't supposed to take so long to learn how to program.)
