What is paper mulch? and if it has been on the ground for 2 or 3 months, surely it will be pretty well rotten and mucky, so how do you remove it? Indeed, why remove it at all? You make no mention of removing the cardboard (which goes pretty soggy in no time at all) and in dry weather surely it will curl up at the edges if it is on top, and therefore let light in no matter how much it is overlapped, as it has to have edges sooner or later. In your book there is a picture showing cardboard laid under compost. I’m confused – maybe it’s just information overload.
