1. This project was dead in the quarter, the only effort expended being an hour on
   … "Ricciardi (Michael) - Schrodinger’s ‘Kitten’? Large-Scale Quantum Entanglement Achieved By Two Physics Labs".

1. To provide focus for higher-priority projects, I do not plan to spend any significant time on this project in the near future. I may do so on an ad hoc basis. If so, actions will feature on the Summary_Task_List³.
2. Consequently, I do not intend to produce any more editions of this report until this time next year.
3. However, in the coming year I intend at least to read the papers associated with "Sprevak (Mark), Etc - New Waves in Philosophy of Mind", to update my knowledge of what’s going on in the philosophy of mind, and …

• Books: My book-categorisations start with subject area, which seems a mistake. My categorisation methodology needs sorting out as a priority in my Web-tools⁴ project. The candidate sections would seem to be:-
  …Mind - Consciousness
  …Mind – Consciousness - Brain
  …Mind - Consciousness - Consciousness
  …Mind - Consciousness - Self
  …Psychology - Consciousness
  …Science - Consciousness
• Papers: See my:-
  … Consolidated Papers on Consciousness.
• Course Material:- It might be worth chasing up the material from contemporary courses, for instance from
  … Brunel (Link (Defunct)).
