Preparing a paper for FeedForth
A FeedForth paper should be composed of two sections: Section 1. A short 2-page research paper. This should include an introduction, methodology, results and conclusions. Remember that your audience includes people outside your field, so it is important for non-experts to be able to grasp the key ideas behind your work.

Section 2. Secondly, FeedForth challenges challenges its contributors to consider the broader meaning and significance of their research in an extended discussion of up to 2 additional pages. Possible topics include: a consideration of how your conclusions might contribute to other fields; a discussion of how your work fits into the broader framework of human knowledge; how your research impacts our lives and the current issues facing the world today; etc. We welcome all well-thought-out attempts to creatively explore the connections your research shares with us. 
The following are possible examples of Feedforth papers:

By a theoretical cosmologist
Section 1: a short research paper outlining new results from the computer modeling of the gravitational wave background in the early universe.
Section 2: a linked discussion exploring some of the philosophical implications of computer modeling -- "building the universe in a box".

By an artist exploring the psychology of human responses to art
Section 1: a short research paper describing experiments on the reaction of viewers in a museum gallery.
Section 2: a discussion of how the approaches of cognitive science provide powerful interpretations for these results and can change philosophical ideas about art.
