Guinea Pig B is a name Bucky gave himself, to signify that his life was an experiment.

Excerpted from BuckyWorks: Buckminster Fuller's Ideas for Today by James T. Baldwin:

His alternative to politics was radical and deeply subversive. If we are designed like other animals to be a success, then nature must have provided enough of everything needed for all to live a healthy existence. People living well would have little interest in fighting and destruction. Bucky decided that reliable information and efficient design could identify and fairly distribute the Earth's resources, bringing a good life to all. Developing that information and putting it to work would be the mission of Guinea Pig B.
