  New thinking needs to emerge about how to reform publishing along lines that
best meet two perennial needs of scientific communication. This paper discusses
a model that addresses these two needs with respect to physics. Given the
considerable barriers that its realization in pristine form faces, the model
aspires merely to be a heuristic or guidepost. It provides an analytical
framework for criticizing aspects of the current publishing ecosystem, helps
diagnose problems in current efforts to reform it, including those emanating
from the open access movement, and raises consciousness about certain emphases
that could gradually enrich scholarly publishing. [VERSION 2 , 5/19/2019;
