(a) Dovetail, (b) Square, (c) Shouldered Tenon Rubik’s Joints Represent Adaptability, Affordability, and Inclusivity, Respectively, for Horizontal and Vertical Movements (d). Four major databases were searched on peer-reviewed articles, indexed conference proceedings, books by academic publishers, consultancy reports of accreditation bodies, and review reports of governmental and non-governmental organisations and professional practices via a deductive process. The search led to a striking information black hole where IE dimensions of self-sufficiency are concerned. Even the scarce literature and reductive details are limited to ‘soft’ skills learned instead of advanced objectives, including but not limited to self-sufficiency for special groups such as IEs towards global futures. We conducted individual and keyword combinations among Mc, MdMc, and IE. The following tabulation presents statistics on a key combination of keyword searches for the last five years that captured the poverty of Mc discourse from Md and IE perspectives in peer-reviewed literature and archives of academic and professional bodies. Noticeably, the most critical evidence predominantly remains in the institutional white papers and conference circles but not in the mainstream academic-industry manifestos/grants and publications
