PID Note Usage

*** THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION OF THIS NOTE ***


(For the live version and other versions of this Note, see the tables at the end)

Motivation

  1. This Note is currently under development as a means of displaying the usage (or non-usage) of my Personal Identity Notes in my Thesis1.
  2. Notes can be referenced as hyperlinks in the text, or explicitly in a List at the start of a Chapter. Those in the Lists have their referenced Books and Papers included in the Chapter Categorised Reading Lists. Those merely referenced don’t.
  3. I’ve also included lists of Books and Papers on PID that I’ve read (in the case of Papers), but which aren’t referenced anywhere in my Thesis or the underlying Notes.
