To
safeguard the credibility of the Malta Template, the Current Paradigm
descriptions used here are lifted from other publications. In each case
the source is credited. Some of the material has been amended for
terminological consistency or edited for relevance but the meaning is
unchanged. If anyone disputes the accuracy or rigour of the material
used, please feel free to suggest something better.
The
Current Paradigm is not a constant. It is changing all the time as new
discoveries are made and new ideas come to dominate. As the Paradigm
changes, these selfproof pages will be updated. Over time, of course,
it is hoped that the difference between the Paradigm and the Template
will lessen, perhaps to the point where there are no differences. That
will not kill the need for selfproofing pages but it will make them
easier to write.
