The author of this site is Steven Cullinane, who has also written booklets on the subject. The web site provides detailed discussions of Diamond Theory, and is intended for college math students or mathematicians. According to Cullinane, Diamond Theory is best classified in the subject of “finite automorphism groups of algebraic, geometric, or combinatorial structures.” The site also includes links to other resources.
