He coined the term Wold-Newtonry in a paper titled "Wold-Newtonry: Theory and Methodology for the Literary Archeology of the Wold Newton Universe." In it, he talks about "literary archaeology", a term which he says was inspired (for him) by Warren Ellis's term "mystery archeologists" in Ellis and Cassaday's Planetary comics. The paper is available online at Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton pages, and as a chapter in Win Scott Eckert's (ed.) "Myths for the Modern Age" book, published by MonkeyBrain Books.
