## Academics and Peer Review

The Book and Journal of Mattanaw is an Academic Journal having a comprehensive peer review process to produce high quality scholarly articles.

Several rounds of peer review are conducted for each issue, by a number of academics and industry professionals, before a book issue is released.

The peer review process is an open and transparent process that can be reviewed by the readership and members of the public, for inquiry and comment.

This process is more stringent and more open than many similar peer review processes due by our additional process expertise typically not existing with other publishing companies. Publishing companies often do not have experience in business process, software process, and other organizational workflows. This organization has expertise in this domain that is consummate by comparison to what is available at other publishers, and it may be the case, that such publisher’s would rely on the expertise of this organization. The peer review process utilizes a standard double-blind peer review but this is merely incorporated into the larger process which has greater complexity, and methodical sophistications missed by other approaches. Therefore it is an enlarged peer review process of higher quality. The peer-review process itself is also subject to periodic improvement, quality testing, and scientific debugging and examination.

The total review process, that is inclusive of peer review, has a very high requirement for making revisions for final release in book-issue form, and drafts are rejected continuously until they reach a level of quality needed. Once they reach the quality required, if ever, they are accepted. The rejection rate is greater than with a standard academic journal at greater than 99 percent.

To be as transparent as possible, the total review process includes also public review of all materials in a draft state. Instead of hiding materials and keeping them unpublished until finally getting through a gate-keeping system, that finally publishes a “finished” document, showing nothing of idea development and editorial refinement, this journal shows all the advancements from early document drafts exhibited within bare almost template-like documents, through to the review process, until release in book-issue form. At all stages from the initial ideation to the initial document and web/print publication, the public is permitted full visibility into the process. It is an open process, as is expected by science, and not a closed process like business journals, sometimes called “academic or scholarly” journals.

The articles produced by the Book and Journal are not constrained to a specific audience, but instead uses a more inclusive, less discriminative approach, more flexibly communicative, while maintaining within a more sophisticated presentation, the expected presentability of academic readers and scholars. The content however, is not expected to be entirely unreachable and inaccessible to public audiences that are given access to the reading materials. This may be contrasted with a non-inclusive peer review system, that is discriminatory and exclusive of readers forcing submitters to prepare works for release in for-pay only retrieval systems.

In some cases, book issues have content that was syndicated to other Journals, meaning in addition to the process used by this journal, content has also been peer reviewed by the editorship, boards, or peer review staff of other journals. This makes the peer-review process of content for this journal especially stringent, and of course, if published elsewhere, it was deemed of good quality by one or more additional organizations.

Those texts that are transparently in a draft state for readers to see development in progress have not yet entered the peer review process, but enter the process at the time they go into post-draft, print issue candidacy. Once the candidate issue is approved, it is released as a standard book issue. All those texts marked with numberings, for book, issue, edition, and not only “draft” are those that have undergone the peer review process.

Additional questions for those interested in the peer review process can using the communications form in Communications.

## Introduction

While it may be possible to read though this website and have some understanding of the total topic, there are some demands on time and intelligence that are insurmountable for the most if not all readers, to come to a thorough understanding of what is being communicated. Articles may be read individually and usefully, and I fully encourage the reader to enjoy the various articles here published. However, this is a very large work. It is similar to a journal, or magazine of many issues, but there is an important difference: it is cohesive and comprehensive, and is intended to be a synthesis of technology and planning. Like a complete academic journal of many issues written over many years, it will not be possible for the reader to fully understand what is shared. Like a large and complex software solution, it cannot be expected that an individual reader can understand it all, or the intentions of the original authors, and architecture and plan, without additional aid and support; and even with that support, it is not anticipated that the primary author or architect’s mind would be known. A piece of technology, of many pieces with distributed interrelated documentation, may not be easily reverse-engineered, and in this case, the author already knows it is impossible. No ready will be able to cover all the material and the technology, and understand all that’s been presented in synthesis.

This website, and document, is one that requires certification if one wants to be able to claim more than a passing reader’s understanding of the material, and the claims that go beyond passing reading are controlled and owned by the author of this site. In other words, no reader may claim to 1) know the mind of the author on the basis of what he here freely published, 2) claim anything other than passing-reader status with respect to what is presented. Additional more specific claims to understanding are only achievable with certification, and are only revealed to serious students or researchers. In this way it is akin to what is encountered in software, since not all that the software comprises and not all of the software sales materials, and meanings of trainings that are sold, are known in advance of serious sales communications. I invite people who have special interest to request certification, and I will readily share what certification will entail for various costs and commitments.

One might consider this a somewhat strange addition to this website; but I assure the reader, this perspective is not only regular and commonplace for all certifications of anything where the reader might make a claim of what the author creates, it is also useful to your life, and your handling of your own legal affairs. Consider that a reader of a publication may be inclined to use that material to claim you think a certain way in court. Using that material in court, they may claim that they understand how you think apart from the article, or how you consider it to fit in with other parts of your work, or life, or goals, or designs. When I mention that a reader or researcher is a passing reader by default, I mean no offense: that is what I am when I read briefly off of someone else’s site, or publication, or if I talk to them for a first time, or share only a few conversations with them. These short communications have not prepared me for any special claim to larger or total knowledge of a person’s mind, plans, designs, goals, or total technology created.

Consider the proposed organizational process below. This was a strategic process option recommendation for a large international corporation for the management of its digital assets. Such a technological process is a group behavior process that would firstly be considered business confidential and proprietary, and secondly, would be corporate intellectual property that is hoped to bring competitive advantages to the business, and add profitability impacting shareholders. Someone from the public would not simply be allowed to learn this process, its significance, its business context, and the so on. This process relates to how jobs are preformed, and the specific tasks that would be carried out by new hires fulfilling specific job functions, partly defined by this and other documents. Within technology, and various business professions, certification is required to show sufficient proficiency for those candidates who may be hired, or those internal candidates who would want to convey later, a transferable skill. Particularly if the process fits within a software solution that is used elsewhere. Learning about the software would cost money in education expense, and it would be gate-kept information only available to serious candidates or those who spent funds to learn (or had organizations spend funds on their behalf). In this way a certification of a piece of technology relating to behaviors of individuals singly and collectively is normalized in our culture. For this reason it can be understood, again, that a site such as this, which is a piece of technology and a book and journal, would require special school-teaching to arrive at an adequate understanding that would be certifiable. Such teachings protect a business in their ability to control their brand, in that no person who has not attained certification, or adequate teaching, can claim to have mastery. Otherwise anyone from the public could claim to have mastery of software solutions and business professional practices that are used for hiring people who are expected by businesses in the industry to actually have those skills, and some expectations regarding the authority of the certification that would have been granted by the teaching organization. A person cannot speak on behalf of an organization’s educational content without having obtained and learned that content in a way approved by that organization.

Figure 1. Real proprietary business process impacting an organization and its roles and employees, and training and educational materials and potentially certification.

Figure 2. Certification program relating to a job role, which would include proprietary training materials such as work process diagrams, best practices, and other documents used for creating skills.

I personally am not an advocate of all forms of certification, and much prefer open information which would enable people to learn in a way that is supposedly part of the discipline of science. This site is an open site, and I do not think others would not benefit from learning freely. However, they cannot speak for me, as someone cannot speak for a brand, if they have not been certified. They cannot be trusted to speak about what I would say, do, and think, regarding my own material here, without such a certification. Learnings would be too incomplete due to complexity.

This is a technology solution and not only a writing, but as a writing it is also complex and interrelated, and very large (at present well over 300,000 words), and for this reason it is necessary to protect from pretend experts of the material. I am willing to extend expertise to the reader if the reader is willing to invest in getting certified. However, almost all material is shared already on this site, so I do not want to dissuade the reader from reading freely, from all that has been provided.

This is not a work of religion but does replace religion, and is a religion in a legal sense, in that it replaces all that religion might do, for me. However, there is no superstition, or false promises of things that cannot be provided or are unreal. Religions are not freely available as some might claim, for gaining any level of accepted or authenticated understanding which allows someone to claim expertise. One must attend a theological seminary, or follow other avenues of hierarchical advancement, somewhat akin to exposure in other fields of work, and in education/academia, for finally being accepted or entitled, or given an elevated position of employment, which amount to formal and informal certifications.

This writing is akin to an honest and truthful founding of a religion, creating of a technology for life, an alternative moral system, a technology for mind publication, and for life taxonomy, and much more… It includes software, business processes, intellectual property, personal life processes, academic articles, technology designs, blended in a method of communication, on a software solution entirely created by the author. Software solutions are protected as being original designs but includes also all the site content.

If a reader wants to have some credibility more than a passive reader, like in obtaining employment in a specific position, or attaining a role in a church organization, or other religion, or getting certified for a specific controlled technology (even if available), or having a degree in a college, or having a diploma at a school, or showing mastery by taking a standard test, it is necessary to get certified.

## Legal Limitations

This living autobiography, life, website, book and journal, log, and so on, also has some terms and conditions, and a privacy statement, which incorporates contract law in a way that may not itself be easily understood without explanation and certification. But the author doesn’t rely only on the terms and conditions to explain his behavior and position with respect to the law, including justifications of what here is written and its meaning, and position of what is written in relation to the law. Since this site is a living autobiography, it includes content which is more directly related and resulting from, and evidence of, the author’s behavior and his actual life, that is informed by this work since he actively uses it. This work is the result of his life and is part of his life, and in feedback loops informs his life. His legal justifications of his behavior, or legal rationales for his behavior, where they exist, occur as he thinks about what he will do, and is included within his automatic behavior in his habits.

The terms and conditions and privacy policy, have been artificially separated from life content and other writings on this website. It is important to know that legal content exists in the rest of the sites content. This implies that the terms and conditions, and privacy policy, are not the only legal materials here, and that the entire site must be surveyed in order to locate and understand all the legal positions the author has, that are disclosed and inform his behavior, and might be in his behavior, and in his thinking. The certification program provides additional information which would allow for better interpretation of the author’s legal commitments, access to legal writings, and opportunity to survey all the legal materials which have relevance to understanding the author’s thinking.

Even the certification program, however, is insufficient for conveying to others the author’s legal position in its entirety, and since there is so much legal content to survey, it is unlikely that anyone who obtains certification will have time needed to convey the same information to another. The implication is that certification would be insufficient to provide the person certified with witness testimony that is adequate to relay to another person, who has not had a certification, and is uncertified, the knowledge required to understand.

The author thinks it unfortunate that legal contracts are so lengthy and numerous in any individual’s life experience. Legal relationships that are not really possible to “opt out”, meaning they are forced, include also contracts which one must agree to, that are not possible to understand or read thoroughly, such that full understanding is possible. Taken in conjunction, all the legal relationships had provably have legal contracts with legal documents in tens of thousands of pages for any individual. It is not the author’s intention to create contracts with readers or potential students or people wanting certification. The above paragraphs are intended to provide the reader an understanding that the legal position of the author requires even more than this unfortunately, for obtaining a full knowledge of the author’s legal position, outside of having contracts with the author. Any particular business may require one to have a legal contract, signed, for a service that is really necessary, like cellular phone communication or internet connectivity, which may have many thousand words of text written by trained lawers coming from a law school. Mattanaw, who is a pro-se attorney and experienced litigant, has done more to explain his own legal position, by interspersing legal information in his website within his autobiography, this Book and Journal, numbering in the thousands of pages, and hundreds of thousands of words. Soon there will be over a million words, with legal material provided, in context for its proper interpretation, within Mattanaw’s life and life recordings.

Mattanaw’s legal position can only be understood within the context of his life, and so it is natural that legal documents and content expressing his legal position would appear in context for interpretation to be possible. The entire Book and Journal is an evidence submission, or exhibit submission, which would need to be completely read by a court system, to obtain a level of understanding which is required, but not good enough for certification. Legal reading is not a substitute for certification, which requires payment. This would provide additional information as to the value of certification, for providing more training than what is obtainable by a court system or judge. In a way this resembles all education. A court system cannot understand science, for not having been educated scientifically in a university setting. Likewise, a complex life cannot be understood, without dedicated study of that life. In this case, the study of the life of the author exceeds in quantity and quality what is provided in a university education! Due to limitations on reading and reading comprehension, and also quality of information provided by the university itself! Not having content enough to share on its own to provide its certifications (degrees), it relies mostly on the writings of others, from other, usually better, universities.

## Program Details

More details on specifics of the program that can be shared in advance of getting notified of serious interest will be provided soon.

For now, what can be said is the starting program is roughly as indicated below, and costs $250,000 USD.

Additional materials and time from the author are part of this commitment to more seriously become knowledgeable with this system, beyond what is provided on this website.

The author would like to work with readers who are interested, but being realistic, there are risks to the author. The author, in a similar capacity to an employer, has final discretion concerning who might be admitted or worked with for certification. Like a university, initially there are safety considerations. Following safety considerations, are other risks. Finally there is time and available resources which would justify expenditure. I care about consumerism, and I want anyone who spends resources to have plenty provided in return.

Please provide the following information with any sent email:

Subject: Your name, and interest in getting certified.

Body:

1. Who you are, and links to your public social media profiles, and contact details.
2. Your resume. Here is mine for transparency. Mattanaw’s Resume
3. Your interest and proclivity to the material on this website, apart from certification. What have you read?
4. Please summarize the author’s meaning, in your estimation, of one article you’ve read. (I would not consider certifying someone who does not appear to get close as to the author’s meaning, reading materials, the reader claims to have been interested in. I.e. caring about consumerism, I know you would not learn from me, if my voice were not already partly understood in my mode of communication. Why hear me explain in the same mode of communication if that communication is not understood).
5. What do you hope to receive in getting certified? What are your interest and how might that fit in with certification potentially? (I can tailor materials for your interests).
6. Some employment or life goals, as you think of them currently.

Anything malicious found will result in immediate discard of any message received, protecting the attention and mind of the author.

I may be able to support on reducing the fee for those who might not have optimal financial conditions.

## Value

On initially announcing this certification program, a few in my network were somewhat curious about what could be of value in this program. The reader should not be confused, as there are definite tangible values of this program.

- Insurance payout if I die before completion.
- Professional Reference, from someone who has had a very successful career.
- Letters of Reference, for various objectives that might be had.
- Professional mentoring regarding career strategy, and direct support.
- Certification as to the participants quality of life direction, in detail.
- Unreleased materials. Materials additional to those provided to other on this site.
- Software related training, where interested.
- Technology related training, where interested.
- Industry secrets of value.
- Work and education related support, direction, mentoring.
- Extremely honest, but caring feedback, in keeping with standards of Psychological Practice.
- Lack of seriousness about certification. “I’m certified” is not something the author values much. Rather, more concrete gains on livelihood and respect are preferred.

It is believed that the professional reference alone may be worth the entire certification, but the author thinks there is no question the others and more additionally fully and completely overtake participant expenditures.

## Price

The current price for this certification program is:

$250,000 USD

Mattanaw I., formerly "Christopher Matthew Cavanaugh"

I am a retired executive, software architect, and consultant, with professional/academic experience in the fields of Moral Philosophy and Ethics, Computer Science, Psychology, Philosophy, and more recently, Economics. I am a Pandisciplinarian, and Lifetime Member of the High Intelligence Community.

Articles on this site are eclectic, and draw from content prepared between 1980 and 2024. Topics touch on all of life's categories, and blend them with logical rationality and my own particular system of ethics. The common theme connecting all articles is moral philosophy, even if that is not immediately apparent. Any of my articles that touch on "the good and virtuous life" will be published here. These articles interrelate with my incipient theory of ethics, two decades in preparation. This Book and Journal is the gradual unfolding of that ethic, and my living autobiography, in a collection of individual books that fit into groups of book collections.

This Book and Journal is already one of the largest private websites and writings ever prepared, at nearly 1 million words, greater than 50,000 images and videos, and nearly one terabyte of space utilized. The entire software architecture is of my creation. Issues of the book for sale can be found under featured. These texts are handmade by myself, and are of excellent quality, and constitute the normal issues of my journal that can also be subscribed to. The entire work is a transparent work in progress. Not all is complete, and it will remain in an incomplete state until death.

I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback and conversation with readers. You can reach me at mattanaw@mattanaw.com (site related), cmcavanaugh@g.harvard.edu (academic related), or christopher.matthew.cavanaugh@member.mensa.org (intelligence related), or via the other social media channels listed at the bottom of the site.
