‘DRN’ is an acronymous reference to the first-century BCE epic poem De Rerum Natura (“On The Nature of Things”) by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius. Among the most ambitious poems ever written, it brilliantly exposits the atomistic work of Leucippus, Democritus, and, most critically, Epicurus. One of the poem’s themes is the cultivation of a fiercely optimistic view of the world once we shed superstition and make way for what we have come to call the scientific method: observation, testing, explanation, knowledge, and the possibility of prediction and minimizing risk.
This is a potent theme for us here at DRN, because it resonates with our desire to understand the physical world that we find ourselves in. As Virgil writes, in admiration of Lucretius’ accomplishment:
"Felix, qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas."
“Happy is he who knows the causes of things.”
Georgics 2.490–502

Better technology gives us all a better chance at controlling how we spend our time. We simply cannot sign off on a project - and a professional relationship - that does not treat the time of all parties with strict seriousness. We aim to enrich that time, and help reclaim even more wherever and whenever we can.

There are likely better ways of doing almost anything - the question is whether it is at an acceptable cost. We apply experience, industry awareness and connectivity, and focused investigation, to find advanced solutions at reasonable costs in industries with often less than 18-month product life cycles.
