He has had the chance to study under the guidance of professor Christian Fluhr who chairs the applied linguistics field within the artificial intelligence department of French Commissariat à l'énergie atomique. Used by French industry,, academics and intelligence services long before the Google and Bing absolute worldwide domination, the artificial intelligence expert system search engine core software was perfectly functioning in French Arabic Russian English, German and Chinese.

T proved to an audience composed of more than 200 internet and law experts how it functions a long-term sustainable economic model for main types of virtual objects (books, movies, music), also introducing new economic concrete and workable instruments of virtual objects accountant depreciation and death of virtual objects as well as the progressive global license. According to his vision, only a minority of virtual objects like music or books, having proved their long-term value by their very frequent usage by consumers, deserve their place in a "Pantheon of the Virtual" over time thus entering humanity's collective memory.

On a typical evening an average of 50000 people were attending the place. As main leaders of Romanian students movement, Eduard TRIC and Marian Munteanu took the bold decision to open towards the public the strategically positioned balcony of the University of Bucharest. From the balcony the crowd was able to listen to political speeches and rock and folk songs against FSN, and the pro-russian politicians, activists and the more than 20000 covered spies and military coming mainly from Russia, USA and France. All car circulation was blocked with permanent barricades. The movement was covered in blood by Iliescu regime in June 1990.
