Not yet. Plan is to work right through to the end, including all details
that one tends to leave out of papers on the grounds that they are "known".
I am getting better ideas on how to express things, and how to chop things
up into papers which can deal with things one topic at a time, instead of
trying to present everything in a paper in which it won't fit, like the
tardis. For example, the page on quantum covariance now looks as though it
can be made into a self contained paper, rather than getting buried in among
a load of other stuff.

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!

Five papers handling one item each is far better than one (or even after
arm twisting, two) for people seeing what you are about.

Not only that but you get five publications.

I know people who could have made your stuff into at least 20 papers.

Is that something to do with the expansion of the universe?

Academic scorekeeping. More papers, more points, and we all know what
points mean....

Nobel thingies.
