You're right, because Wilson is probably best categorized as a philosopher. Fuller was an engineer...

Now *that* would give Stew too much credit. I knew big time art collectors here in the US who got into him in the 40s and 50s, and the realist and super realist movement in the 60s and 70s was heavily influenced by him and referenced him as well. I had a math book from the seventies that used his work extensively too.

Geez, most of the physicists from the last half of the century. Most of the Standard Model and its extensions are based on symmetry!
I'll think on that one some more though...
