Note 6 - The future |
At
present, seven chapters of The Malta Template are
online. The remaining chapters are blocked out and will be posted
as
they are completed.
- When
all sixteen chapters are online, the intention is that the site will be
thrown open so that the scientific community at large can amend the
chapters to take account of new developments as near to real time as
possible.
- When
all sixteen chapters are online, the intention is that the whole
scientific community will treat the chapters as a spine
to which contributors can attach specialised chapters in order to
make the Template a truly comprehensive description of the
Universe.
- When
all sixteen chapters are online, the intention is that an appropriate
mathematical description will be added to each argument.
- When
all sixteen chapters are online, the intention is that a "comments
and queries" section will be added to each argument.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
The
above schedule is very ambitious. The wish is that the
Template will eventually grow into a comprehensive description of the
largescale structure of the Universe, its history, its components, its
structures, its processes, and its mechanisms. It is also intended that
the Template should be irrefutable so that, as far as we can
currently tell, it will be selfevidently right. If the
Template can be completed as planned, it will have
become a very large work indeed.
And there is
the rub. I am a presentation mechanic, not a scientist. Over the past
25 years I have built up an extensive knowledge of the subject but
it is an unstructured knowledge. I am capable of laying down the
"spine" of the Template in enough detail for it to
selfprove satisfactorily but it is work that proceeds painfully
slowly.
Truth to tell, completing the spine would
be a major task for someone bright, fit, and young. I have
not fitted that description for a good many years, so, for the spine to
be completed within a reasonable timescale, I need
properly-qualified assistance. My estimate is that a team of four
should be able to complete the task in a year. If such help is not
forthcoming ..... well ..... that will be a shame.
