Why "Vortex4"?
Vortex4's name is an homage to the movie Zardoz (Boorman, 1974) and the
society of immortals whose purpose was the preservation of the sum of human knowledge. We
don't envision the same ending for ourselves of course, but appreciate their original
goals.

Today you hear much talk of absolutes ... that one is good and one is evil, and good and evil cannot exist in the world... Good and evil have existed in this world since [creation].
The proper search is for limited ends which soon enough educate us in the complexities of the tasks which face us. That is what all of us must learn to do in the United States; to limit objectives, to get ourselves away from the search for the absolute, to find out what is within our powers.... We must respect our opponents. We must understand that for a long, long period of time they will continue to believe as they do, and that for a long, long period of time we will both inhabit this spinning ball in the great void of the universe.
-Dean Acheson
