Post Easter Reading - Theory Reborn
The now 50+ page theory is almost ready to go to book I will start printing this week, I hope. Can say it has been reborn to go with the Easter season. Here's what it looks like now:

Microsoft Word format:
https://sites.google.com/site/intellige ... Design.doc

Google Viewer:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid= ... ZmN2NiNTEx

Does the format and everything look good? I might put page numbers at top, but otherwise it looks like a book to me. :D

To help make it easier to get through, I combined redundant information and better condensing the wording to bring the 56 page down to much rearranged 44 pages. It now has footnotes instead of references so that evidence in the literature is right there shown, and other things that should make it easier to understand what I was saying.

The project turned into way more rewriting and formatting than I thought. I kept finding things that needed improving making like a marathon to put together, but was well worth it, I think. Still have a few more days to get the text ready. Now just have to do something about the URL's in the footers that I hate to take out so they be there when shown online, but they seem out of place for a book even though they can usually easy enough be typed in from there. I'm still not sure what to do about that yet, in case anyone has any thoughts there.

I thought I should mention that I finally have the format all together. No longer looks like it came off an old typewriter.

This is the first time I tried to actually “typeset” an entire book with MS Word. But once I had everything properly working together (and displaying well enough with Goggle Viewer) it was easy to apply what I found online along with my graphic arts knowledge to make it look real nice. A day ago I was wishing I could afford one of the $2,500 on up professional jobs for the major book market because it still wasn’t looking right. Now I’m glad I kept trying because this just has the look I was hoping for.

I also found that working with one page with footnotes is like a whole other way to organize thoughts, in comparison to the one-long-strand thinking from article or paper format. Where I needed to shorten text to make everything fit right for a clean looking page, I went over the wording all over again and each time found ways of saying it more clearly in the same amount of space.

Composing the theory for book format is making it easier to word things together. And there is like a reciprocal causation void (I wonder whether Dagny moticed) where the best example I can now think of are anal crabs. David Attenborough did though capture the green-thumb brown-noser stage just before just deciding to crawl inside in “The Trials of Life - Living Together: Shrimp and Fish” shown here:

Dagny’s example, sure goes way further deeper into it than that. :shock:
