Editor's Notes

Michael Hudson started researching and drafting ''The Creation of Order'' as a book manuscript in the early 1980s, and his research efforts to understand the systems and structures of archaic societies have continued into the present. Realizing the scale of research necessary to complete the ambitions of the book, Hudson shared the text with the Observatory, in the hopes that future editors would help sift through texts from the past and update and fill in the missing pieces.

We are proud that Hudson’s ''The Creation of Order'' is the first '''[[Project:Types of Content#Collaborative Research and Mainframes|Mainframe]]''' research project published on the Observatory using our '''[[Project:Types of Content#Collaborative Research and Mainframes|Collaborative Research]]''' publishing tool. Invited researchers develop '''Mainframes''', contribute research, engage in peer review, and publish their deliberations in an open-ended and transparent format accessible to interested audiences, all while deciding which information to make public.

We invite you to explore and contribute to this ongoing Collaborative Research and editing project by [[The Creation of Order/Help Us Edit and Join This Collaborative Research Project/Navigate the Query Pages Throughout This Book|navigating the table of contents of this book’s chapters’ query pages]] and have shared [[The Creation of Order/Help Us Edit and Join This Collaborative Research Project/Style Guide for This Book|this book’s style guide]] for researchers.
