Hi everyone!
Yesterday I finished Version 1.0 of the book. I sent it to a specialist for review, and he came back with a very detailed critique. His main conclusion was that the book is still missing several important elements—most notably a mathematical model and an agent-based simulation.
He pointed out many things that I simply hadn't seen before, and I'm very grateful to him for that. He was right: the book still needs more work.
Because of this, I've decided to prepare Version 1.1 and publish that instead. There's a lot of interesting work ahead, and I'm confident I can handle it.
You've all waited for me for a very long time. You've even finished setting up the ecosystem. At this stage, you've completely fulfilled your part of the project. You've helped tremendously—including supporting me personally with financial assistance.
Yes, we've postponed the launch over and over because of my delays. It's hard to believe that our original target was back in March!
Unfortunately, I've held everyone up with the book. Even now, although it's technically finished, I'm not ready to publish it because, without a solid body of evidence, it feels like a collection of assertions rather than a convincing argument.
I know that the only thing standing between us and the next stage is the publication of this book. It has become the main reference point for our entire project.
However, because I spent the last several months working exclusively on the book, I wasn't working anywhere else or earning any income. As a result, I've accumulated debts.
So I'll have to return to work while finishing the book in parallel—or rather, expanding it with evidence demonstrating the model's validity and effectiveness in several key areas.
I expect that this will take at least another two to three months.
