In physics he proposed a completely discrete model of space-time that fully supports isomorphism with informational contents.

In mathematics he developed the theory of "Models of Reference", a non-standard computational approach designed to model cognitive processes.

In computer science he created Sistema I, the first Italian database, the core of several successful applications.

In medicine he created iMed, a framework for the objective measure of biological age, and argued for the widespread adoption of evidence based methods.

In philosophy he supported an extreme version of conventionalism and drew the implications of this view in all the relevant fields (ethics, aesthetics, social theory). He is a public supporter of transhumanism and Singularity.

In legal theory he set the core legal principles of a new society, based on the acceptance of conventionalism and devoted to the extension of human life-span.
