Introduction

A publicly-funded United Kingdom center for learning research published a 2011 meta-analytical systematic review of 838 studies.[1] It illuminated a stark problem in investigating particular styles of learning experiences. There is a substantial detriment to the field of education due to the conceptual confusion from having no set-defined vocabulary to draw from.

We are in the unique position of having developed a vocabulary, since 2011, to comprehensively describe the nature of experience and behavior under the influence of psychotropic substances. For both researchers and clinical populations, improving communication is crucial in emerging studies on psychotherapy.

These are scientifically-supported therapy principles and techniques designed to be easily understood by the general public. Even in the absence of hallucinogens, applying these skills to modify automated dysfunctional cognitive processes can be as effective as lone pharmacological treatments or the entire collection of cognitive behavioral therapy instruction.[2][3][4][5]

Generalized Therapy Mechanism: Emotional Dialecticism

Therapeutic skills for controlling behavior aim to teach how to regulate emotion. Impaired emotional processing significantly impairs the ability to make decisions.[6] Effective emotion regulation requires combining the experience or expression of emotion with the ability to actively change emotion.[7] Skills in identifying, labeling, and making sense of the information an emotion provides are essential.

Western cultures tend to have the view that emotions are polarizable, for example feeling only happy versus feeling only sad.[8][9] A 2015 meta-analysis of 63 studies indicates that mixed emotions can be reliably detected, feeling happy and sad at the same time.[10] Hoemann, K. et al. suggest that brains generate a singular emotion product with a large number of dimensions, as opposed to multiple fundamental emotions in parallel.[11] Recognizing these dimensions, in terms of blending positive and negative emotions together, is strongly associated with good physical health.[12] Blending emotions also lessens typical age-related health declines. It appears obvious that due to brains’ prioritization of negatively-associated stimuli that the distribution of a construct holding bipolar valences is not 50-50.

The term for holding seemingly contradictory positions at the same time is dialecticism. Many modern therapy approaches (ACT, CBT, FAP, ICT, MBCT, SARP) overtly emphasize dialecticism. They simultaneously push for acceptance of behavior and change in behavior. This guide will focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is a more personalized extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).[13][14] Furthermore, Dialectical Behavior Therapy demonstrates effectiveness for a wide variety of neurological disorders.

Acceptance

It's a mistake to think acceptance is so naturally part of who we are that no training/practice is required. Immediately offering advice on what needs to change can increase emotional intensity which can legitimately lead to extreme behavior and emotional dysregulation.[15] Communicating understanding of where someone is standing on an issue—validation—reduces emotional intensity and cues an adaptive response. Active, disciplined, and precise validation is required to motivate emotion regulation and create the conditions for change.

DBT defines validation as empathy plus the communication that the perspective is valid in some way. Nonverbal expressions are often more powerful than explicitly verbal ones.

Validate a behavior's

 

Levels of Validation

 

Validation strategies teach the recognition of emotion and cue the expression of that emotion. Bringing attention to an emotion signals the body's physiological response. The trick is to articulate what emotional dimensions are valid in a response. Validating a difficult, avoided emotion increases contact with that emotional experience. This can strengthen abilities in accepting emotional experiences. Bringing disconnected emotional states together may be vital for adapting emotions into effective responses.

Don't fake understanding and relating with people. Rescuing people from experiencing sadness or despair through a bait and switch may communicate nonacceptance, which raises dysregulation. Primary emotions—those first flashes of response—are like a spotlight. When there is clarity, they are naturally used to solve problems. Emotional processing takes time, but it can be helped by striking the right balance between expressing compassion, support, and providing explicit next-step direction.

The overall dilemma is that invalidation is necessary to communicate what is ineffective and what does not make sense. Practitioners must be open to what is valid without reinforcing dysfunctional behavior. The same response can be valid and invalid at the same time. For example, self-harm is remarkably dysfunctional (invalid); however, given that it may produce relief from unbearable emotions, it is valid as a means to effectively regulate emotions.

DBT's main idea is to help others experience emotions without maladaptive coping. It's guided by exposure therapy principles. Emotional competence will increase through widening emotional awareness, increasing tolerance for painful emotion, and preventing behaviors that function as an escape. For trauma, using validation to direct attention towards a sense of control and diminishing the sense of isolation may be more helpful than leaning into the emotional experience.

Establishing trust and understanding comes before recommending solutions. Be precise about what you are validating. Invalidate the invalid nonjudgmentally, describing how a response doesn't make sense or doesn't work. Keep an eye out for self-invalidation. You don't need to walk on eggshells when you can genuinely, with empathy, describe what is valid and what is invalid.

Change

Change can be invalidating, which intensifies emotional dysregulation, so it's important to frequently reiterate why a task is important. Understanding behavior change is important for everyone because treatment providers and social networks often unintentionally reinforce dysfunctional behavior.

Exercising Metacognition - Creating Maps

DBT manuals suggest the technique of creating a behavior map. The map specifies the targeted behavior, the behaviors leading up to it, and the consequences of the target behavior. For unwanted behaviors, it recommends changing something in the web of behaviors leading up to it. This practice is called Behavioral Chain Analysis, Behavioral Activation, or Concept Mapping. It’s an observably successful therapeutic method with its mechanisms in the skills of personal awareness, otherwise known as metacognition.

 

In the scientific literature on education, multiple meta analyses consider metacognition as either the most or the second most effective strategy to increase knowledge transfer and retention.[1][16][17][18] When comparing 556 studies to 1772 studies, the addition of metacognitive learning components clearly outperforms a simple presentation of information for understanding/use. Concept mapping reliably produces gains in critical thinking abilities[19] and improves central ideas with no loss of knowledge gained elsewhere. It's multisensory (verbal & visuospatial) and adds reflection brain processes on top of retrieval. High-ability and older students also benefit more from this practice when measured across a large range of education levels and subjects studied.

The authors cautiously suggest the overall benefit may be due to greater learning engagement rather than the properties of concept maps as an information medium. Creating maps with pre-constructed materials cause the observable benefits to disappear. Generally, there are better results creating maps where meaning is signaled by node proximity, shape, and color.

Interfering Aspects and How to Deal With Them

 

Problem Based Learning (PBL) has strong positive effects for increasing efficacy in acquiring skills.[18][20] More recent meta analyses report students gain somewhat less knowledge, but this is a trade-off. PBL emphasizes elaborating the principles that act as the links between concepts.[20][21][22] Elaboration demonstrably creates an easier recall of knowledge and greater skills in application/inference.[23] PBL does not, however, significantly affect critical thinking skills.

To reduce the amount of time it takes to do a task, a 2013 meta analysis of 289 studies suggests small breaks are specifically tailored for this.[24] When measured over the range of seconds to a month-long break, a 2006 meta analysis of 184 studies found generally a 15 minute to one day break encourages the highest retention of information.[25]

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps clarify the if–then effects of behavior; behavior rehearsal is essential. Participants learn to observe/describe their own style of thinking and their underlying assumptions. They notice when their cognition is ineffective, and confront their problematic thoughts so that they may create a more functional or dialectical sense of truth. The main aim is not to blitzkrieg a problematic thought organization. The main aim is to weave a subtle cognitive change informally throughout with a strong emphasis on intuitive knowing that combines both rational and emotional responses.

Additional All-Use Techniques and Strategies

 

Effective Learning

The brain distributes neural activity.[26] Cognitive functioning exists as self-sustained cyclic patterns of activation, otherwise known as neural networks.[27] Regions implicated creating associations, processing environments, and memorization are all notably highly interconnected.[28]

The Left-Brain/Right-Brain hypothesis emerged due to a misinterpretation of brain scan images, believing ‘hot spots’ as isolated functional units. These ‘hot spots’ are set by arbitrary thresholds in statistical mapping. There is not any rigorous neuroscientific evidence in favor for stability in hemisphere-based individual differences.[1][26]

Multiple intelligences are not particularly useful due to the brain’s processing complexity. Higher oversimplification creates higher inaccuracy/imprecision.[26]

There is no robust evidence for efficacy in designing instruction towards specific learning styles.[1]

Variety Outperforms Monotony

Learning preferences still exist, but presenting instructional material in a multisensory format is distinctly more advantageous for learners.[1][26][29]

Meta analyses point to better learning performances when:

  • Unconventional teaching methods are explored, like a lack of lectures (2016, 8 studies for nursing students)[19]
  • Social and emotional education are presented alongside material (2011, 213 school-based interventions)[30]
  • Learning strategies vary (1986, 84 studies on vocabulary instruction)[31]
  • Tests are in mixed format or multiple choice (2017, 118 studies)[32]
  • Instruction is a blend of online and face-to-face instruction, rather than purely one or the other (2009, 176 studies)[33]

Emotional Processing

Mindfulness

A 2013 meta-analysis examining 209 studies suggests mindfulness-based therapy is more effective than psychological education, supportive therapy, relaxation procedures, and imagery/suppression techniques.[34] It is particularly effective for reducing anxiety, depression and stress.

Mindfulness is another practice of metacognition. It is clinically defined as nonjudgmentally observing phenomena that enters an individual’s awareness, such as perceptions, cognitions, emotions, or sensations.[35] These are observed carefully but are not evaluated as good or bad, true or false, healthy or sick, or important or trivial. It's bringing one’s complete attention to the present experience on a moment-to-moment basis.

This skill is primarily practiced through meditation, optionally with audio guidance. Substances that induce time distortion and ego dissolution may aid this process.

Different meditative practices increase gray matter in different parts of the brain.[36]

 

The important consequence of mindfulness practice is the realization that most sensations, thoughts, and emotions fluctuate, or are transient, passing by “like waves in the sea”.

Positive Psychology

2019 and 2017 meta analyses of meta analyses advise that positive psychology intervention effects are overestimated by the current scientific literature.[37][38] Across more than 50 meta analyses, there are small to moderate positive effects on mental well being, and mood.[37][39][40] Reductions in depression, stress, and negative emotions are hit-and-miss.

The effectiveness of this type of intervention increases with age.[37][41][42] Interventions in children show very little results.[43] Post-college aged adults show the highest effect sizes. Though regardless of age, self-compassion and the active process of forgiving are endorsed as a few of many factors to reliably improve psychological well-being.[44][45][46]

There is no true 'one size fits all' method for positive interventions, and gratitude does not necessarily produce unique outcomes.[37] The takeaway here is that the prevailing scientific evidence advocates positive psychological interventions to increase cognitive well-being and optimism.[47][48]

Art Therapy

Systematic reviews for art therapy find observable reductions in depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, distress, and improvements in mood, coping, and some aspects of quality of life.[49][50][51] These results need to be taken with a grain of salt due it always being in combination with psychotherapy and the limited number/low quality of randomized controlled trials.

Art therapy encompasses any creative output such as drawing, sculpting, painting, music, drama, or dance. It enables distancing and integration of emotion while stimulating meaning-making processes. Substances that enhance creativity may aid this process.

Being in Nature

A 2019, 2015 and two 2014 meta analyses suggest contact with nature has a small to moderate significant effect on improving positive emotions, decreasing negative emotions, and sustaining improvements for self-reported mental health, general health, and personal growth.[52][53][54][55]

Substances that induce the feeling of unity and interconnectedness may aid this process.

On Being Alone

Newcomers should not be alone. Hallucinogenic substances enhance the intensity of emotion. There is the chance for currently felt negative emotions to become all-encompassing, also known as 'having a bad trip'.

Expressive Writing

A 2006 meta analysis of 146 studies suggests writing has a modest but observable beneficial effect on overall functioning.[56][57] Its benefits are more related to processing emotions (distress, depression, positive functioning) than to cognition (schemas, dysmorphia).

In controlled studies, it is more effective for people to write in private and keep their writing to themselves. Expressive writing provides a means of expressing and processing emotions that avoids the barriers and/or the negative consequences that may accompany sharing. PTSD patients who shared their writing with a group had worse emotional and physical health outcomes 5 weeks later.[58] Other studies using expressive writing with PTSD patients did not show negative effects. Thus, the authors concluded that sharing with the group may have been the cause of the negative effects.

Even a single writing session can provide benefits. The best outcomes tend to appear with at least three 15 minute writing sessions a week spaced a few days apart. Writing about positive experiences is just as beneficial as writing about negative ones. Switching topics does not make a difference.

As a side-note, with temperance, the highest learning benefits are suggested to result from individuals studying maps and mixed groups creating maps.[16][17] Studying maps outperformed studying outlines/lists. Creating maps outperformed reading text, attending lectures, and class discussion.

Using Groups: The Benefits of Teaching

A 2009 meta analysis of 176 studies and a 2001 meta analysis of 122 studies show that using collaborative material greatly outperforms working independently.[33][59] The 2009 analysis indicates a five-fold increase in learning compared to working independently, which offered little to no benefit at all. The key advantage is allowing students to share and debate their ideas. Both contesting ideas (exposing flawed reasoning) and learning eachother's perspectives enrich overall understanding.[60][61]

Peer teaching does not necessarily differ from faculty teaching either, according to a 2016 meta analysis. [43] Acting as a tutor increases teaching skills, academic achievement, and positive attitudes for the taught subject.[62][63]

Teachers reinforcing directly related material in short-duration structured programs—with mnemonic devices, graphic organizers, and mental imagery techniques—generate the strongest effect on learner performance.[1][17][63] Learners also perform better with extra feedback and low irrelevant cognitive load.[24] Enacting a group strategy creates even greater positive effects, although the effect sizes are highly related to the social environment.[59]

Tripsitting

Tripsitting is the equivalent of babysitting. The sitter’s role is not to direct the trip, but rather to act as a supportive presence. They facilitate a comfortable exploration of altered consciousness. Effective tripsitters must understand the possible subjective effects that may arise to be able to communicate understanding/validation.

A 2007 meta analysis encompassing 355,325 students weighted teacher-student relationship variables.[61] As correlations, it suggests (in order) the most benefits are derived from:

  • Students initiating and managing their own activities, which gives a sense of ownership and control over the learning process.[61]
  • An empathic climate emphasizing the perception of care. Gestures of support differ from physical exploitation. It's important to have strong, established physical boundaries because psychedelics may kindle romantic, codependent, or otherwise confusing feelings during the trip.[61]
  • Fostering a warm and acceptant environment focused on internal motivations. Both people and surroundings greatly influence a psychedelic experience. Teachers honoring students' voices encourages genuine trust.[60][61]
  • Encouraging higher order thinking. The highest transferable person-centered variables are critical and creative thinking. Teachers must encourage learning, thinking, and growth-centered beliefs. It's also beneficial to be familiar with spiritual/metaphysical disciplines due to the transpersonal nature of psychedelic states.[61]

Research on the effectiveness of communication skills training is embedded in research on behavioral marital therapy, prevention training, and parenting interventions.[64] Even with some noted publication bias, a 2005 meta-analysis of 30 studies suggests behavioral marital therapy is better than the absence of treatment.[65]

Communication problems are seen as excesses and deficits in specific types of behaviors.[66] The basic strategies for teaching communication skills are typical in behavioral skill training: instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback. Couples are encouraged to be genuine and make direct statements of their desires. Blame, an indictment of guilt, is discouraged and acknowledging one's own contribution to the problems are encouraged. Good communication skills focus on the topic at hand and do not interrupt nor use extreme terms such as "always" and "never". They highlight positives and focus on the present when problem solving; they avoid applying stagnant labels and coercive messages.

Small Groups: 1-3 Individuals

Small groups outperform individuals, individualized instruction, and large groups.[1][24] The main beneficial effects are on achievement, persistence, and attitudes.[59][60] The social context moderating effect sizes is greater, but small groups consistently produce better products and more gains in each respective individual's knowledge. For learning outcomes, mixed groups creating maps outperformed reading text, attending lectures, and class discussions.[16][17]

Large Groups: 3+ Individuals

Groups of three to five also outperform individual learning.[59] However, groups larger than five with no specific cooperative learning strategy fail to significantly benefit individual achievement. This finding is especially relevant for exploratory environments and the creation of tools for other tasks.

Group cognitive therapy is generally as effective as individualized treatment.[67][68][69] Psychoeducational groups reduce relapse/rehospitalization, essentially acting as harm-reduction.[70]

An inherent risk exists that group members may engage in coruminating behavior. An unfocused excessive discussion of problems without knowledgeable guiding information has potentially harmful effects on group members' functioning.[71] The sharing of negative experiences in the absence of a structured environment may promote coping and social skills that increase the frequency of negative thoughts and feelings, subsequently decreasing functional behavior.

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

0. PREAMBLE The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.

A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.

The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".

6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

11. RELICENSING "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.

"CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.

"Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.

An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.

The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
