I am still blacklisted,and my 340 page ( 4 MB ) pdf web book about correspondencesamong

Sufi Islam, IFA, the Rig Veda,

and

Physics

and the multicultural backgrounds of Jesus and MaryMagdalene

was banned by Cornell, but

SEE FOR YOUSELF what Cornell doesnot want you to see.

Here is what happened:

There seem to be two groups at the Cornell arXiv, which I willcall the administrators (www-admin@arXiv.org) and the moderators(moderation@arXiv.org).

In short, the administrators accepted my submission ( a 340 page 4MB pdf web book whose title ( PhiloPhysics ),author name ( Frank D Tony Smith Jr ), comments, and abstract wereknown to them, as was the pdf file of the book itself ), but ONLY 4MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS AFTER ACCEPTANCE BY THE ADMINISTRATORS, themoderators removed my submission and had a removal notice sent tome.

IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT 4 MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS IS NOT SUFFICIENTTIME FOR ANY TYPE OF REASONABLE MODERATION PROCESS TO HAVE TAKENPLACE, AND THAT THE REMOVAL WAS A REFLEX ACTION BASED ON ME BEINGBLACKLISTED.

The Cornell administrators were OK with you being able togo to http://www.arXiv.org/abs/physics/0508155and get it,

but

the Cornell moderators removed it and put anothersubmission in its place, thus preventing you from finding it on thearXiv web site that began at Los Alamos and became ( well beforeCornell got control of it ) the unique world standard archive forphysics works.

Thus, the Cornell arXiv moderators continued to enforcetheir blacklisting of me and mywork.

In more detail:

To see whether my blacklisting is still in effect, I applied toregister as an author. My initial contact was with the automatedsystem, which gave me a username and password, and said that anyonewho had two posted submissions on an archive earlier than 3 monthsago and later than 5 years ago could be an endorser. Since I have twosuch posted papers on the general physics archive during that period,I sent my request to the administrators (www-admin@arXiv.org) that Ibe given endorser status for general physics. The administrators saidthat I would have to officially claim ownership of those papers. Idid so, and the administrators gave me endorser status for generalphysics.

Then I made a submission ( known as physics.tonysmith.3629 ) whichwas a 370 page web book with title PhiloPhysics and author Frank DTony Smith Jr in a single pdf file of about 16 MB.

I then received an automated rejection stating that my pdf filecontained some LaTeX code.

I replied to the administrators that the LaTeX code part was onlya small part of the file, and asked for reconsideration.

Then the administrators objected that the file size was too large,and told me that I should "... Please try to reduce the filesize, andresubmit. ...".

Following that request,

I then made the resubmission ( known as physics.tonysmith.2884 ),which clearly showed to the administrators the title (PhiloPhysics ), author name ( Frank D TonySmith Jr ) and comments

This book about philosophy/physics correspondences is a 340 page pdf free web book (front cover and 339 page body) with no separate figures, but many figures incorporated into the pdf file.

and abstract

This book is an exploration of correspondences among concepts expressed in some philosophical systems and mathematical structures related to physics. Due to the wide variety of correspondences, the sections are not intended to be read in any fixed linear order. The reader should feel free to start with whatever section seems most intersting, and proceed non-linearly therefrom. The table of contents and page numbers are provided only for convenience of access: Front Cover-1; Contents-2; Sufism and Physics-3; VoDou, Clifford Algebras, and Physics-16; Cellular Automata-32; Clifford Algebra Cl(8) Idempotents and Spinors-46; Clifford Tensor Product Universe-56; T-Quark Mass and Hyperfinite II1 von Neumann factor-66; Volumes and Shilov Boundaries-131; Neutrino Masses and Mixing-132; EVOs-136; Cosmology, Gravity, and WMAP-142; Pioneer Anomaly and Uranus-156; (1+3)-dim HyperDiamond Feynman Checkerboard-164; E6, Strings, Branes, and the Standard Model-173; Orbifolding E6 String Theory-192; Physics Overview Chart-201; Tachyon Note-202; Penrose-Hameroff Tubulin Electrons-203; Chiao Gravity Antennas-209; Mead Resonance-213; Clifford Algebra Chart-230; Archetypes-231; Vedism and Physics-249; Tarot Chart-272; Moses/Tharbis-Solomon/Sheba-Jesus/Mary Magdalene-273; Klein Quartic Physics-291; Truth Quark, Higgs, and Vacua, in terms of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-321; CP2 Kaluza-Klein-336.

My resubmission ( known as physics.tonysmith.2884 ) was initiallyautomatically rejected by the automated system, which said in part:"... Repacked pdf filesize 4275kb exceeds preferred limit of 1000kb.... If this is because your a submitting a long review, thesis,dissertation or series of lecture notes, AND you feel you have doneeverything reasonable to create an efficient submission, then pleasecontact www-admin@arXiv.org for special dispensation ...".

I then asked the administrators for such special dispensation,saying in part: "... I also looked at other book submissions toarXiv, and found that many of them were, in pdf format, well over 1MB. In other words, it seems to me that the 1 MB limit is pretty muchfollowed for papers to be submitted to journals, etc., but thatspecial dispensation for web books seems to be a common practice. Forexample, the book submission gr-qc/0508023 was dated 6 August 2005,and the pdf file that I downloaded from arXiv is shown on my computerto be 4,240,856 bytes, which is similar in size to myphysics.tonysmith.2884 pdf file.

Since my pdf file was not produced by TeX/LaTeX, I feel that Ihave done everything reasonable to create an efficient submission ofthe pdf web book physics.tonysmith.2884 , so I am by this messageasking www-admin@arXiv.org for special dispensation on the basis ofthe facts stated above. ...".

The admnistrators evidently agreed to my special dispensation,which PROBABLY MEANT THAT THE ADMINISTRATORS LOOKED AT MY SUBMISSION( they had access not only to the comments and abstract, but also tothe pdf file of the book itself ), AND FOUND IT TO BE UNOBJECTIONABLEFOR A WEB BOOK TO BE POSTED IN THE GENERAL-PHYSICS PART OF ARXIV,because

I was sent a message with Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 09:20:26 -0400stating my title, author name, comments, and abstract, saying that mysubmission would be physics/0508155 and that my "... Abstract willappear in mailing scheduled to begin at 20:00 Monday US Eastern time(i.e., Tue 23 Aug 05 00:00:00 GMT). ...".

Then, by a message with Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 09:24:33 -0400 (NOTE THE TIME - ONLY 4 MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS AFTER ACCEPTANCE BYADMINISTRATORS ) I was told that my arXiv submission was removed (was physics/0508155 ), and the message further stated: "... Yoursubmission has been removed upon a notice from our moderators, whodetermined it inappropriate for the physics archive. Do NOT under anycircumstances resubmit to the original arXiv before first explainingthe reason to moderation@arxiv.org AND receiving a positive response.Please direct all questions and concerns regarding moderation to themoderation@arXiv.org address. -- arXiv admin ...".

 

IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT 4 MINUTES AND 7 SECONDS IS NOTSUFFICIENT TIME FOR ANY REASONABLE MODERATION PROCESS TO HAVE TAKENPLACE, AND THAT THE REMOVAL WAS A REFLEX ACTION BASED ON ME BEINGBLACKLISTED.
