The Infinite Path by
Paul A. Martinez
Innovation is not optional. It’s law.
In The Infinite Path, systems engineer and innovation strategist Paul A. Martinez unveils the Law of Perpetual Innovation (LPI) — a unifying theory that explains why every advancement we create also sows the seeds of its own disruption. This sweeping, interdisciplinary framework weaves together thermodynamics, psychology, economics, and evolutionary theory to demonstrate that innovation pressure arises from the byproducts — or burdens — of prior progress. Every solution creates new friction, constraint, or unrealized potential, fueling humanity’s unending drive to invent, adapt, and evolve.
For business leaders, engineers, and thinkers, The Infinite Path reframes innovation not as chaos or creativity but as a predictable, perpetual process driven by physical and cognitive laws.
