Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Consciousness — experience and its theories — phenomenal consciousness, its measures and its attribution to animals or machines (group: philosophy).

| # | Title | Summary | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CASE-033 | Driving home while daydreaming | The owner’s case at U26: driving home with access to the road and to a daydream, arriving with no memory of the drive. Compartmented access, not unconsciousness. | Active |
| CASE-107 | Locked-in syndrome: consciousness preserved with anarthria and quadriplegia; in the classic form, vertical eye movement and blinking remain and carry communication, and in the completely locked-in state no motor channel remains | The owner’s case, U2 of the exchange of 2026-10-16: “a lucid human who struggles with locked-in syndrome”. It separates lucid judgement from limb and speech action. In the classic form it does not separate judgement from action as active inference defines it, since the eye movements it spares are that theory’s model action. The completely locked-in state is the real test, and there any evidence of lucidity has to come through a channel that is itself an action. Visceromotor regulation and Damasio’s internal “as if body loop” survive paralysis, so the case never removes every contingency between intention and outcome. | Active |
| CASE-134 v3 | Northstar’s commander handoff: twelve hours into an incident the commander goes off shift and hands command to a colleague, and the response continues without disruption and with no one continuous through it | A22’s variant of Northstar (CASE-023), from the exchange of 2026-10-22, where the owner asked to revisit the engineering organization responding to a critical incident. Of the six variants A22 proposed it is the one the record did not already hold. It separates continuity of an organization from continuity of any person in it. Not shown: anything about whether the response is experienced. | Active |
