The work on the books of this Model was not supported by any governmental or private agency, institute or organization, neither was the author while writing these books.
It is precisely because no support by any organization, group or person with national, military, party-political, class-linked, commercial, proprietary, traditional or other interests was, or had to be, solicited that this work has been made possible.
Being written in a pre-, or rather inter-paradigmatic, period of denominationalism it is addressed to the world, or to the learned world, at large; being inclusivistic it is not addressed to any country, or region of the world, in particular.

Only future generations will be able to tell how long before the year 1 this Model was published for the first time.
Till then everyone is condemned to choose imperfect means to record the moment an event like the first publication of this work took place.
Using a less imperfect frame of reference it may be said that this work was printed and distributed for the first time 41 years after the end of World War II.
This information also lays stress on one of the reasons for coming into the open with the Model: that the end of the supernaturalist, exclusivist era should not be marked by such a great catastrophe as a nuclear world war.
The early readers can either stay with the ignorant and reactionary who look backward to 'the year 1', or join those who, by adopting a new course, look forward to the year 1.
Now there is this alternative.
