Paper statuses — A work’s standing in this record: whether it is worth reading. Not whether its findings are true — that is the THEORY scheme’s business, and the two can disagree in either direction.
No copy reached — a lawful full text was looked for and none could be obtained — none was found, or only a paywalled one; the status note says where and when. Not a judgement on merit, and a supplied copy returns it to reading (ADR-041, narrowed by ADR-053).

| LIT-026 v2 | Comparative proteomic analysis of two wasps venom, Vespa tropica and Vespa affinis | Rungsa et al. (2016), DOI-10.1016/j.toxicon.2016.06.005. Venom from the great banded wasp (V. tropica) is more potent than venom from the banded tiger wasp (V. affinis): PD50 of 3 versus 12.5 µg/g. The authors attribute the difference to higher levels and activity of hyaluronidase (about 2.5× the proportion), phospholipase and dipeptidyl peptidase, since the two venoms’ protein profiles are otherwise similar. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-25 from the abstract; on 2026-10-14 a search for a lawful full text reached none, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex lists the work as closed, with only the doi.org and PubMed locations and no repository copy. Unpaywall reports it closed with no open locations. Europe PMC holds it only as a subscription link, and it is not in PubMed Central. ScienceDirect (pii S0041010116301593) returned 403 and the Elsevier article API was rate-limited, so whether the journal’s open archive covers it is unknown. A title search found no author-posted copy: Khon Kaen University’s researcher pages list it as a citation only. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-043 v2 | This Secret Math Equation let the US Government Spy on Anyone | Kibicho (2025), https://leetarxiv.substack.com/p/dual-ec-backdoor-coding-gui…. The post is a paywalled programming tutorial that implements the Dual_EC_DRBG random-number-generator backdoor in Python, as a chapter of a book on finite fields for programmers. Nothing beyond that framing was reachable. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-25 from the post’s visible front matter; on 2026-10-14 the body was still not reachable, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. The Substack post API returned the post with audience ‘only_paid’, a word count of 1,364 and a body truncated after the introduction and chapter list (no free preview). The public page shows the same. A web search for the title, the author and LeetArxiv found no other copy of the chapter: the forthcoming book it belongs to is not published, and the search results were other authors’ accounts of Dual EC. A paid subscription is not a copy this client can use. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-070 v2 | Dynamics of collectives with opinionated agents: The case of scrambling connectivity | Somarakis et al. (2016), DOI-10.1109/ECC.2016.7810493. For networks of agents that each have their own independently evolving opinion dynamics and communicate cooperatively with neighbours, non-negative matrix theory gives sufficient conditions for stability and convergence to a common synchronized opinion, for both identical and non-identical agents. The “scrambling” connectivity condition is presumably what the title names; I have not verified this from the full text. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-25 from the abstract; on 2026-10-14 a search for a lawful full text reached none, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex lists it as closed with no repository copy, and Unpaywall reports no open location. arXiv has no preprint under the authors’ names or the title. Crossref’s only full-text link is IEEE’s similarity-checking PDF, not a reading copy. A web search shows a record of the paper on John Baras’s group site at the University of Maryland (baras.isr.umd.edu/node/866), described as carrying a full-text link, but the site could not be reached: HTTPS failed with a certificate that does not name the host, HTTP returned 404, a fetch returned 503, and the Internet Archive refused the lookup (429). So an author-posted copy may exist, and this failed on access, not availability. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-074 v3 | What is polycrystalline water? | AlphaPhoenix (unverified), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ONBuVtz-w. unverified — Only the title and channel are reachable, so I can state no claim from the video. By its title it is a popular-science explainer about polycrystalline (multi-grain) ice or water. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-25 from the title and channel; on 2026-10-14 it is still not read and no NOTE is filed. It is a video, and a text-only client cannot watch a video, so only a transcript could serve. YouTube’s watch page redirected to a Google bot-check (‘sorry’) page with HTTP 429, so no caption track list, description or upload date was reached, and the unsigned timedtext endpoint returned an empty body. No lawful transcript was reached; this failed on access, not availability. A second attempt on 2026-10-14, at the owner’s direction that the transcript suffices, also failed on access, not availability: YouTube’s transcript API (youtube-transcript-api: IpBlocked), yt-dlp (“Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”), the Invidious mirrors inv.nadeko.net, yewtu.be and invidious.nerdvpn.de (browser checks or protocol errors), the Piped API (the same LOGIN_REQUIRED bot check upstream) and a plain page fetch (navigation only). oEmbed confirms the title and the channel (AlphaPhoenix). A transcript the owner supplies would let it be read. It stays Unavailable until a transcript is supplied. |
| LIT-104 v4 | Philosophy of Mathematics from Descartes to Kant | Carson (2026), DOI-10.1017/9781108982405. The early-modern debate over whether metaphysics can be demonstrated with geometric certainty turned on how Euclidean demonstration secures certainty, and the Element traces the answers from Descartes through Locke, Leibniz, Wolff, Lambert and Mendelssohn to Kant. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the Element is not open access (Cambridge Core shows “Get access” with purchase temporarily unavailable; Crossref gives only the standard Cambridge licence). Print publication 2026-08-31. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-108 v3 | Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science | Weyl (1949), DOI-10.1515/9781400833337. Philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of physics are intertwined, with advances in philosophy led by scientific discovery. Weyl’s two-part treatment (mathematics, then natural science), drawing on Descartes, Galileo, Hume, Kant, Leibniz and Newton, is a classic mathematician-physicist’s statement of that view. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the book in copyright with no open copy: every Internet Archive scan (the 1949, 1959 and 1963 printings) is lending-only, and the De Gruyter e-book is paywalled. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-117 v3 | Agency, Shmagency: Why Normativity Won’t Come from What Is Constitutive of Action | Enoch (2006), DOI-10.1215/00318108-2005-014. Constitutivism cannot ground normativity. Even granting that action has constitutive aims, one can ask what reason there is to be an agent rather than a “shmagent” (a near-agent lacking those aims), and the constitutive facts cannot answer that question without presupposing normative reasons. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and no full text could be obtained (SSRN, Duke UP, PhilPapers, ResearchGate and the author’s pages refused; JSTOR is closed). A Wayback Machine snapshot of an old Semantic Scholar PDF exists (web.archive.org/web/20200228092518/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d0d1/80b87d01492d9ddcdd487c81ad31466f404c.pdf) but was unreachable from here. It stays Unavailable until read. |
| LIT-119 v2 | Conspiracy Theories and Public Trust | Keeley (2023), DOI-10.5040/9781978734494.ch-011. Public Trust Skepticism — discounting conspiracy theories because they erode trust in institutions — gets things backwards: for an important class of theories it is the sweeping distrust they presuppose that undermines their own credibility, by leading to “epistemic nihilism”. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no open copy: the chapter is in a closed-access Lexington Books volume, PhilPapers refused the request, and the author lists it on his CV without posting it. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-128 v2 | Neurodiversity & evaluation: a defense (or not) of affective fictionalism | Fernández Castro et al. (2026), DOI-10.1080/09515089.2026.2638974. Affective fictionalism — reading mental-state attributions as normative evaluations rather than factual reports — is argued to meet three demands the neurodiversity paradigm places on any theory of folk psychology. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no reachable copy: Taylor & Francis refused the request, no repository copy or preprint was found, and the first author’s site links only to the publisher. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-129 v3 | Epistemic injustice in the clinical care of practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions | Porcher & Santaella (2026), DOI-10.1080/09515089.2026.2623889. When clinicians override a patient’s religious interpretation of her experience in domains where medicine has no interpretive authority (“interpretive exclusivism”), they commit an epistemic injustice — racialised in the Brazilian case — that the authors say only epistemic humility remedies. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no reachable copy: Taylor & Francis refused the request, and no preprint or repository copy was found (the UFRGS repository did not respond). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-134 v2 | The Duality of Content | Prinz (2000), DOI-10.1023/A:1018612122389. Concepts have two distinct wide contents — a “nominal” content fixed by the observable features used to categorize, and a “real” (referential) content fixed by incipient causes plus nomological covariation — echoing Locke’s nominal vs real essences. (Reconstructed from secondary sources; unverified against the paper.) | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the article paywalled, with no open or repository copy (PhilPapers and Academia.edu refused the request, and the author’s site does not list it). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-137 v3 | Philosophy of Fame and Celebrity | Robb et al. (2024), DOI-10.5040/9781350401327. The first introductory collection on the philosophy of fame and celebrity, arguing that work on admiration, achievement, epistemic authority, virtue and moral psychology can be brought to bear on what fame is and how it shapes how we live. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and the volume could not be obtained (OpenAlex lists it closed; Crossref shows no licence; the introduction is behind a Bloomsbury Collections login). One chapter, Widdows & MacCallum on “Instafame”, has an accepted version on the Warwick repository, but one chapter is not the volume. It stays Unavailable until the volume is available. |
| LIT-144 v3 | Causal Exclusion and Downward Counterfactuals | Pernu (2015), DOI-10.1007/s10670-015-9781-7. The counterfactual theory of causation can answer the causal exclusion problem without being committed to downward causation, provided the semantics of counterfactuals is handled carefully. The exclusion problem itself, however, comes in several distinct forms. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and no full text could be obtained (Springer paywalled on both hosts; OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar list it closed; not among the articles of Pernu’s open 2013 dissertation in HELDA, though its §5.2 covers the counterfactual response at an earlier stage; PhilPapers, ResearchGate and Academia.edu refused). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-148 v2 | Computational Functionalism for the Deep Learning Era | López-Rubio (2018), DOI-10.1007/s11023-018-9480-7. Deep networks’ success comes from extracting successively higher-level features across multiple layers. López-Rubio argues that this calls for a new version of computational functionalism, keyed to deep neural computation rather than to classic program-based functional organization. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the article paywalled, with no open copy (the Málaga repository has none, and PhilPapers refused the request). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-174 v2 | Having Their Say: Athletes and Entertainers and the Ethics of Speaking Out | Bunton (2021), https://philpapers.org/rec/BUNHTS. Argues that celebrities’ speaking out on public issues is justifiable only when speakers, journalists and audiences attend to platform, intent and harm, because digital audiences treat celebrity as authority. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no reachable copy: the book has no open or repository version, and the publisher and Google Books show only a description and a limited preview. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-183 v2 | Fitting Fulfilment – Fitting Objective or Rational Attractiveness? | Hiekel (2018), DOI-10.1007/s42048-018-0007-y. Examines whether the objective element in Susan Wolf’s hybrid view of meaning in life (“subjective attraction meets objective attractiveness”) should be understood as objective attractiveness or as rational attractiveness. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the article closed access at Springer, with no repository copy. The publisher abstract states the conclusion: objectivity in Wolf’s account of meaning should be replaced by rationality. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-197 v3 | The Enigma Unveiled: How AI Compromises Free Will in Decision-Making | Sharman (2024), DOI-10.1109/ICAPAI61893.2024.10541271. Argues that AI compromises human free will by shaping decisions, manipulating emotions and lacking responsiveness to reasons, while admitting the debate is unresolved. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and no full text could be obtained (closed access on IEEE Xplore; no copy found via OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, CORE, Europe PMC or the Wayback Machine). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-201 v2 | Alternative formulations of multilevel selection | Damuth & Heisler (1988), DOI-10.1007/BF00647962. Multilevel selection comes in two formulations — MLS1, the effects of group membership on individual fitness, and MLS2, groups’ own tendencies to go extinct or found new groups — which answer different questions about one process, and much of the group-selection and species-selection dispute comes from running them together. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found the article paywalled at Springer, with no open, repository or author copy. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-203 v2 | Conspiracy theorists are not the problem; Conspiracy liars are | Keeley (2024), DOI-10.1080/0020174X.2024.2375771. Many conspiracy theories start not from errant data but from lies and fabricated facts, so the pernicious cases are bad-faith pseudo-explanations — and science has analogous value-driven false starting points. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no reachable copy: Taylor & Francis, PhilPapers and ResearchGate refused the request, and the author lists the paper on his CV without posting it. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-214 v2 | Blunting concepts: The double-edged effect of popularizing psychotherapy language | Almagro & Isern-Mas (2025), DOI-10.1080/09515089.2025.2573763. The spread of mental-health vocabulary into everyday talk comes from two distinct linguistic practices. “Therapy-speak”, which reframes interpersonal or moral situations as psychological needs, blunts the concepts that people with mental health conditions need to describe their experience, and so produces hermeneutical injustice. | Unavailable — seeded from the abstract on 2026-09-26; a close reading was attempted the same day and found no reachable copy: Taylor & Francis refused the request, the paper is closed access, and no preprint or repository copy was found. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-240 v3 | The Role of the Information Bottleneck in Representation Learning | Vera et al. (2018), DOI-10.1109/ISIT.2018.8437679. The generalization gap of the cross-entropy loss for an encoder is bounded by a term in the information the representation keeps about the input, so minimizing empirical risk plus that bound is equivalent to the Information Bottleneck on the empirical distribution — offered as an explanation of why noise injection such as dropout helps. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-14 for a lawful full text of the ISIT 2018 paper and none was reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex: closed, with one other location, the CentraleSupélec HAL record hal-01756003, which the HAL API gives as submitType “notice” (metadata only, no file); Unpaywall: not open access; IEEE Xplore returned a bot check (202), failing on access, not availability, though the paper is subscription-only there; arXiv: a search of Piantanida and Vera lists no paper with this title, only the related, distinct arXiv:1802.05355; CONICET’s repository, which lists an event-paper record for it, returned 502 and 503, so whether it holds a file is unknown; a web search for the title found no author-posted copy. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-301 v3 | Every Thing Must Go: Metaphysics Naturalized | Ladyman et al. (2007), DOI-10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199276196.001.0001. Argues for a naturalized metaphysics constrained by physics, defending ontic structural realism and a ‘rainforest realism’ of real patterns (building on Dennett 1991) with no self-subsistent individuals (per standard description). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it. A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29 and no legitimate full text could be reached; it stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-303 v3 | Types and Ontology | Sommers (1963), DOI-10.2307/2183167. Develops a theory of categories via the span of predicates over things, arguing that predicability relations must form a tree (hierarchy) and using category mistakes to diagnose type boundaries (per standard description; abstract not retrieved). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it. A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29 and no legitimate full text could be reached; it stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-307 v3 | Semantics, Volume 1 | Lyons (1977), DOI-10.1017/CBO9781139165693. General introduction to semantics set within semiotics; its treatment of structural semantics includes the taxonomy of lexical opposition (antonymy, complementarity, converseness, directional opposition) (Vol. 1 per publisher abstract; opposition chapter per standard description). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it.

| LIT-311 v3 | Mathematical Methods of Statistics | Cramér (1946), DOI-10.1515/9781400883868. Per publisher description: a foundational treatise building mathematical statistics on measure-theoretic probability; it contains Cramér’s independent derivation of the variance lower bound for estimators (the Cramér half of Cramér–Rao). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it. A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29 and no legitimate full text could be reached; it stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-316 v4 | Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision | Busemeyer & Bruza (2012), DOI-10.1017/CBO9780511997716. Per publisher description: a book-length introduction to modelling human cognition and decision-making with the probability and dynamics of quantum theory, applied to judgment paradoxes, decision-making, concept combination and memory, as an alternative to classical (Kolmogorov) probability models. | Unavailable — filed 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: no lawful full text has been reachable. Tried again on 2026-10-09 at the owner’s request (manuscript bibliography of that day): OpenAlex still reports it closed, the Internet Archive and HathiTrust hold no copy, Open Library lists no e-book, and Cambridge’s excerpt PDF reset the connection. No NOTE is filed. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-317 v3 | Communication in the Presence of Noise | Shannon (1949), DOI-10.1109/JRPROC.1949.232969. Develops a geometric treatment of communication over a band-limited channel with white Gaussian noise, including the sampling theorem and the capacity C = W log2(1 + P/N), from which the minimum energy per bit (E_b/N0 ≥ ln 2) follows. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it. A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29 and no legitimate full text could be reached; it stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-318 v3 | The Concept of Mind | Ryle (1949), https://archive.org/details/conceptofmin00ryle. Attacks Cartesian mind-body dualism (‘the ghost in the machine’) as a category mistake — representing facts of mental life as if they belonged to a logical type they do not — and recasts mental concepts dispositionally (per standard description). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it.

| LIT-328 v3 | Irreversibility and Heat Generation in the Computing Process | Landauer (1961), DOI-10.1147/rd.53.0183. Argues that logically irreversible operations (e.g. erasure) in computation must dissipate at least about kT ln 2 of heat per bit, tying the thermodynamic cost of computing to information loss. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it.

| LIT-342 v3 | What is Structural Realism? | Ladyman (1998), DOI-10.1016/S0039-3681(98)80129-5. Distinguishes epistemic from metaphysical (ontic) structural realism and argues that structural realism should be a revision of ontology, not only of what we can know, drawing on quantum physics (per standard description; abstract not retrieved). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read: registered because the owner’s prior-art novelty map cites it.

The standard mathematical monograph on Formal Concept Analysis: formal contexts, concept lattices and their structure theory (per publisher record). | Unavailable — seeded 2026-09-29 from metadata and published descriptions, not read; a second attempt on 2026-10-09 again reached no lawful full text. Springer sells the 1999 book and the 2024 second edition (OpenAlex: both closed access, no repository copy); HathiTrust holds the 1999 edition search-only; the Internet Archive has no copy. The front matter Springer serves freely (preface and contents) was read; the main text was not. No NOTE is filed. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |

The convergence-zone proposal: memory is not held in one store but as feature fragments in early sensory and motor cortices, with amodal records of their co-occurrence held in local and non-local convergence zones downstream; recall is the time-locked reactivation of the fragments, directed from convergence zones through feedback projections.

A perspective proposing machines organized around homeostasis: a body that must be kept within viable states gives the machine a goal of its own, and something like feeling as a source of motivation and of evaluation. Soft robotics and multisensory abstraction are named as the means. The claimed payoffs are equivalents of feeling, better function across environments, and a platform for studying consciousness.

Per its publisher, the book argues that “there really are group or corporate agents, over and above the individual agents who compose them”, and that social science, law, morality and politics must take account of this. The account is said to be “entirely unmysterious” and grounded in social choice theory, economics and philosophy. Three parts: the logical possibility of group agents (conditions of agency, aggregation of attitudes, structure), their organisational design (epistemic, incentive-compatibility and control desiderata), and their normative status (responsibility, personhood, identification).

By Stich’s 1980 summary, which Dennett accepted: the worry that internal representations need a homunculus to read them (“Hume’s Problem”) is unfounded, because homunculi are harmless if they are stupider than the whole. A “team or committee of relatively ignorant, narrow-minded, blind homunculi” can produce intelligent behaviour, each explained by stupider ones, until they can be “replaced by a machine”; AI organises “armies of such idiots”. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-02 from catalogue records and a contemporary summary, not read: no lawful full text could be reached.

| LIT-420 v3 | Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking | Hofstadter & Sander (2013), Basic Books. The book defends “the simple but unorthodox premise” that “analogy is the core of all thinking”: analogy operates at every moment, from the choice of a word to the insights of physics, and is not a rare tool for hard problems. Its ten contents entries run from the evocation of words and phrases, through abstraction, “inter-category sliding” and naïve analogies, to “Analogies that shook the world” and a closing debate on the core of cognition.

| LIT-423 v2 | I Am a Strange Loop | Hofstadter (2007), Basic Books. Per its publisher, an “I” is “a strange loop where the brain’s symbolic and physical levels feed back into each other and flip causality upside down”, and the book asks whether that “I” is real or “merely a convenient fiction”, and how selves “can exist in the minds of others”. Its 26 contents entries run from souls and the causal potency of patterns, through Gödel’s “quintessential strange loop” and downward causality, to “How we live in each other”, “Consciousness = thinking” and zombies and dualism.

| LIT-424 v2 | From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds | Dennett (2017), W. W. Norton. Per its publisher, the book shows “step by step, how a comprehending mind could in fact have arisen from a mindless process of natural selection”, with the decisive shift the sharing of memes, which produced “thinking tools” powerful enough that minds “create and comprehend”. Its contents run from the origin of reasons and “two strange inversions of reasoning”, through information, “brains made of brains”, words, memes and the origins of language, to consciousness as “an evolved user-illusion” and “the age of post-intelligent design”.

Per its publisher, the book argues that genuine cognition requires flexible goal-directed behaviour, which requires specialised representational systems integrated so as to cope fluidly with the environment, and so that collective mentality “should be posited where and only where specialized subroutines are integrated to yield goal-directed behavior that is sensitive to the concerns that are relevant to a group as such”. On this view there are many kinds of collective minds, some more like honeybees or cats than people, and groups are unlikely to be full “believers”.

Of the four works filed for the Minsky–Schwitzgebel bridge it is the one whose criterion for a collective mind is itself a decomposition criterion: mentality wherever specialised subroutines are integrated into goal-directed behaviour sensitive to the group’s concerns. A close reading is the most likely of the four to change the bridge. |
| LIT-428 v2 | Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought | Hofstadter & the Fluid Analogies Research Group (1995), Basic Books. The group’s programme gathered in one volume: models of perception-driven analogy-making in microdomains (Seek-Whence, Jumbo, Numbo, Copycat, Tabletop, Letter Spirit, and the proposed Metacat), each chapter with a preface by Hofstadter, plus a critique of AI methodology and of how AI research is evaluated. Its contemporary reviewer in AI Magazine names two ideas under it: cognition as high-level perception, and the parallel terraced scan, by which coherent structure emerges from many probabilistic codelets without top-level control.

A mind is a society of many small agents, each mindless by itself, and intelligence comes from their diversity and organisation, not from one principle. The publisher presents it as a puzzle of self-contained one-page pieces that assemble into a theory.

Per its publisher, the “first full-scale presentation of a theory of intentionality” Dennett had been developing for almost twenty years: we understand each other by adopting a stance, “a predictive strategy of interpretation that presupposes the rationality” of whatever we predict. Six chapters reprint papers of the 1980s, each followed by a new “Reflections” essay; the first and the last three chapters are new. Chapter 2 is True Believers (LIT-398).

| LIT-441 v2 | The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory | Chalmers (1996), Oxford University Press. Per its introduction, the book argues that consciousness cannot be reductively explained and that materialism is false, and then moves toward a nonreductive theory with fundamental psychophysical laws. Its contents run from supervenience and explanation through the irreducibility argument, naturalistic dualism and the paradox of phenomenal judgment, to coherence principles, absent, fading and dancing qualia, and information. It ends with a defence of strong AI and a no-collapse reading of quantum mechanics.

| LIT-448 v2 | The Human Animal: Personal Identity Without Psychology | Olson (1997), Oxford University Press. The book-length case for animalism. Per its abstract, “our identity over time involves no psychological facts”: psychological accounts “lead to grave metaphysical problems”, the arguments for them are inconclusive, and since we are animals we have “the purely biological identity conditions of animals”.

By its abstract it asks who or what our interlocutor is when we talk to an LLM: how to characterise it in terms of mental states; what kind of system it is in the philosophy of computation (“a model, an instance, a thread, or a persona?”); what personal identity comes to for such interlocutors; and what follows for AI welfare and moral status. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-10-02 from Crossref, OpenAlex (which carries the abstract of the published version) and the author’s papers page, not read: tandfonline.com, philpapers.org and philarchive.org returned 403 to every article and PDF URL, the Internet Archive was offline, and no other repository copy was found.

| LIT-463 v2 | Subjectivity and Selfhood: Investigating the First-Person Perspective | Zahavi (2005), MIT Press. Per its publisher, a defence of the self against neuroscientists and philosophers who doubt it, arguing that “the notion of self is crucial for a proper understanding of consciousness” and that experience, self-awareness and selfhood cannot be understood apart. It uses Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty to give an account of the “experiential givenness of the self” for philosophy of mind, cognitive science, developmental psychology and psychiatry.

| LIT-467 v3 | Being No One: The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity | Metzinger (2003), MIT Press. Per its publisher, “no such things as selves exist in the world: nobody ever had or was a self. All that exists are phenomenal selves”, and the phenomenal self is “the content of a ‘transparent self-model’”. A representationalist and functional analysis of the conscious first-person perspective, with conceptual “tools”, constraints on consciousness and neurophenomenological case studies (agnosia, neglect, blindsight, hallucination), asking whether being someone can be analysed at subpersonal levels.

| LIT-468 v2 | The Constitution of Selves | Schechtman (1996), Cornell University Press. Separates the reidentification question (is this the same person?) from the characterization question (which actions, experiences and traits are this person’s own?), and argues against analytic philosophy’s attention to the first at the expense of the second. Chapters 1–3 take up reidentification; chapters 4–6 give the narrative self-constitution view, on which, as Strawson quotes it, a person “creates his identity [only] by forming an autobiographical narrative”.

| LIT-469 v3 | Reasons and Persons | Parfit (1984), Clarendon Press; DOI-10.1093/019824908X.001.0001 is the 1986 reprint online. Four loosely connected parts, per the author’s abstract: self-defeating theories of rationality and morality; what one person can rationally want at different times, and attitudes to time; personal identity, where “most of us … have certain beliefs about this subject that are false, but hard to give up”; and obligations to future generations, with the non-identity problem and the Repugnant Conclusion. By the chapter abstracts, Part III defends a reductionist view on which identity is not what matters and draws consequences for self-interest and distributive justice. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description, its chapter abstracts and the table of contents; the book is in copyright and no lawful full text was reachable (the Internet Archive copies are lending-only and were not opened), so it is unread and no NOTE is filed. By its publisher’s account, Part III argues that most of us hold false beliefs about personal identity, that psychological continuity and connectedness, not identity, is what matters, and that this should change our attitudes to our own future, to rationality and to morality. The record already leans on it at second hand: Birch’s Relation R, Velleman’s reading of Frankfurt and the identity-and-ethics survey all cite it. |
| LIT-470 v2 | Foundations for a Social Ontology | Thomasson (2003), ProtoSociology 18–19:269–290. Per its abstract: the social world poses a metaphysical puzzle (how facts and objects created by human intentionality can be real) and an epistemological one (how such products can include objective facts for the social sciences to discover). Searle’s account in The Construction of Social Reality is too narrow to solve either; rules for constructing social reality that parallel rules for make-believe give a more comprehensive ontology, but talk of social reality is not pretence. Unread: filed from the abstract. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s abstract; no lawful full text was reachable (the Philosophy Documentation Center sells it at $20, PhilPapers returned 403, and the Academia.edu copy sits behind a bot check), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. By its abstract it argues that Searle’s account of social facts is too narrow and that rules modelled on the rules of make-believe give a fuller social ontology; how, is not recorded here. |
| LIT-471 v2 | Shared Cooperative Activity | Bratman (1992), DOI-10.2307/2185537, The Philosophical Review 101(2): 327–341. Bratman analyses activities such as singing a duet or painting a house together. A shared cooperative activity is marked by mutual responsiveness, commitment to the joint activity, and commitment to mutual support, and it rests on a shared intention built from each participant’s intention that “we J”, with meshing subplans. The account is reductive: it uses only the intentions of individuals and their interrelations. Unread: filed from metadata and from Bratman’s later précis. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s metadata; no lawful full text was reachable (JSTOR and PDC are paywalled, the CUP reprint is paywalled, and the one course copy found returned 401 Unauthorized), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the paper that set out Bratman’s reductive account of acting together; its developed form is Shared Agency (LIT-488), whose author’s précis the record has read. |
| LIT-472 v2 | Understanding Institutions: The Science and Philosophy of Living Together | Guala (2016), DOI-10.1515/9781400880911. Per its publisher, a unified theory of institutions combining three views (equilibria of strategic games, regulative rules, constitutive rules), applied to money, private property and marriage. It then addresses reflexivity, realism, Verstehen and fallibilism in the social sciences, criticises Hacking’s looping effects and interactive kinds, and asks whether causal and ontological dependence can demarcate social from natural science. Only the sample chapter 1 was read: it restates Hindriks & Guala’s case against a rules-only account. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description, table of contents, sample chapter and index, not read: the book is not lawfully readable in full online (De Gruyter and Princeton are paywalled, and the Internet Archive has no copy).

| LIT-473 v2 | Convention: A Philosophical Study | Lewis (1969), DOI-10.1002/9780470693711 (the 2002 Blackwell reissue). The founding analysis of convention as a self-perpetuating solution to a recurring coordination problem with more than one equilibrium, sustained by a system of mutual expectations rather than by agreement, with conventions of language and communication as the main application. Unread: filed from catalogue records and chapter titles; the content summary is as Hindriks & Guala and the SEP entry state it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from catalogue records and the chapter list, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-474 v2 | The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge | Berger & Luckmann (1966), Doubleday. A treatise in the sociology of knowledge. By its contents: the reality of everyday life and its language; society as objective reality (institutionalization, sedimentation and tradition, roles, legitimation, symbolic universes); society as subjective reality (primary and secondary socialization, identity). Unread: filed from catalogue records and the table of contents only. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from library catalogue records and the 1966 edition’s table of contents; no lawful full text was reachable (the book is in copyright, the Internet Archive scans of the 1966 Doubleday edition and a 1967 printing are lending-only, and there is no author-posted text), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the sociology-of-knowledge treatise whose title phrase ADR-017’s topic blurb uses; what it claims, beyond its contents page, is not recorded here. |
| LIT-475 v2 | The Social Construction of What? | Hacking (1999), Harvard University Press. A book on social-construction claims whose title asks what they are claims about. By its chapter titles: why ask what; too many metaphors; the natural sciences; madness; kind-making; weapons research; rocks; the end of Captain Cook. Unread: filed from bibliographic records and the table of contents only. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the Crossref records for the book and its chapters and the Open Library records of its editions; no lawful full text was reachable (Harvard University Press and JSTOR pages did not load, the e-book is licensed through JSTOR, and there is no author-posted draft), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Its title asks of social-construction claims what they are claims about; what its answer is, beyond its chapter titles, is not recorded here. |
| LIT-476 v2 | We-Intentions | Tuomela & Miller (1988), DOI-10.1007/BF00353512, Philosophical Studies 53(3): 367–389. The paper introduces the we-intention: roughly, a group member’s intention to do her part of a joint action, together with beliefs that the conditions for the joint action obtain and that this is mutually believed. The concept is applied to simple social practical reasoning and offered as basic to social theory. Unread: filed from metadata, with the content as search summaries report it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s metadata and reference list; no lawful full text was reachable (Springer is paywalled, the University of Helsinki portal holds only the citation, and the 2020 De Gruyter reprint is closed), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the founding paper of Tuomela’s we-intention account, the main analysis Searle’s 1990 paper (LIT-490) is reported to argue against. |
| LIT-478 v2 | The Ant Trap: Rebuilding the Foundations of the Social Sciences | Epstein (2015), DOI-10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199381104.001.0001. Social science works with an “anthropocentric” picture on which the social world is built out of people, as an ant colony is built out of ants. Part One separates the facts that ground a social fact from the facts that anchor the frame principle saying how such facts are grounded, and argues ontological individualism false. Part Two argues that even facts about groups, including group action and intention, are grounded in more than the members. Unread: filed from the introduction, the author’s précis and the publisher’s description. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description and the author’s own posted introduction and table of contents, not read: the book is not lawfully readable in full online (Oxford Academic is paywalled; the author posts only the introduction). The introduction and the author’s open-access précis were read. Its framework, grounding versus anchoring, is stated in the record from the précis and from the author’s SEP entry (LIT-487, read). Part Two argues that facts about groups, including their actions and intentions, are grounded in more than their members, which bears directly on THEORY-043. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-483 v3 | Groups as Agents | Tollefsen (2015), Polity. Per its publisher, a survey of whether groups can literally intend, whether there is a collective mind, and whether groups should be held morally responsible, arguing “the unorthodox view that certain groups should, indeed, be treated as agents and deserve to be held morally accountable”. Chapters on group belief, intention, agency, cognition, interpreting groups and the moral responsibility of groups.

It is a short introduction to group belief, intention, agency, cognition and responsibility that, per its publisher, argues “certain groups should, indeed, be treated as agents and deserve to be held morally accountable”; which groups, and on what view of agency, is not recorded here. |
| LIT-485 v2 | The Construction of Social Reality | Searle (1995), Free Press, New York (xiii + 241 pp.). The founding book of Searle’s social ontology. Per its catalogue description, it argues that some facts are independent of human observers and some require human agreement. Its chapters move from the building blocks of social reality and the creation of institutional facts through language and a general theory of institutional facts, to a defence of external realism and the correspondence theory of truth. Unread: filed from the catalogue record and contents; the record reads the theory in Searle’s 2006 restatement. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from catalogue records and a library scan of the table of contents; no lawful full text was reachable (the book is in print with Free Press / Simon & Schuster, the Internet Archive copies are either lending-only or unauthorised uploads, and Searle posted no draft), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. The record reads the theory through Searle’s own 2006 restatement (LIT-482, read in full), which is the entry to start from. |
| LIT-488 v2 | Shared Agency: A Planning Theory of Acting Together | Bratman (2014), DOI-10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199897933.001.0001. The planning structures that organise an individual’s agency over time are also at the core of small-scale shared agency. A shared intention is constructed from each participant’s intention that “we J”, by way of each other’s intentions and meshing subplans, with persistence interdependence and common knowledge. These conditions are offered as sufficient, not necessary. No group subject and no new primitive is needed: the account is reductive “in spirit”, against Gilbert and Searle. Unread: filed from the chapter list and the author’s précis. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s metadata, the chapter list and the author’s open-access précis; no lawful full text of the book was reachable (Oxford Academic is paywalled, and Bratman has not posted the book or draft chapters), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the developed statement of the reductive, planning-theory account of shared agency, and the précis, read in full, says plainly where it parts from Gilbert and Searle. |
| LIT-490 v2 | Collective Intentions and Actions | Searle (1990), DOI-10.7551/mitpress/3839.003.0021, in Cohen, Morgan & Pollack (eds.), Intentions in Communication (MIT Press), pp. 401–416; reprinted in Consciousness and Language (2002). The paper in which Searle introduces collective intentionality, intentions of the form “we intend”, as a phenomenon of individual minds that is not a sum of individual “I intend” states plus mutual belief. Unread: filed from metadata, and from how Searle’s own later paper uses it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s metadata; no lawful full text was reachable (the MIT Press chapter is paywalled and returned 403, the CUP reprint is paywalled, the Internet Archive copy of the volume is lending-only, and no author or course copy was found), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the paper that put “collective intentionality” into analytic philosophy and the source Searle’s later social ontology (LIT-482) sends readers to. |
| LIT-491 v2 | Categories We Live By: The Construction of Sex, Gender, Race, and Other Social Categories | Ásta (2018), OUP. Per its publisher, a theory of social categories built on the question “what is it for a feature of an individual to be socially meaningful?”; its main idea is that “social categories are conferred upon people”, and its “conferralist” framework is applied to sex, gender, race, disability and other categories, and to their tendency to oppress. Unread: filed from the description and contents only. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description and table of contents; no lawful full text was reachable (the book is not open access, Oxford Academic is paywalled, and the author’s site posts replies and related essays but no chapters or drafts), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is the book-length statement of conferralism, the main rival to Haslanger’s account of social categories (LIT-480); what it argues beyond the description is not recorded here. |
| LIT-492 v2 | On Social Facts | Gilbert (1989), Routledge (reissued by Princeton University Press, 1992; DOI-10.1515/9780691214627). The book asks whether social groups are real over and above individuals’ thoughts. It analyses everyday concepts of social action, social groups, collective belief and social convention, in dialogue with Weber, Simmel, Durkheim and David Lewis, and proposes that core social phenomena are “plural subject” phenomena. Unread: filed from the publishers’ descriptions and the chapter list. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publishers’ records and the chapter list; no lawful full text was reachable (the Princeton reissue is sold as an e-book on De Gruyter, and the Internet Archive’s copy of the Routledge edition is lending-only), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. It is Gilbert’s book-length treatment of plural subjects, collective belief and social convention; “Walking Together” (LIT-477) is the short version. |

Per its publisher, an integrated account, drawing on social psychology, experimental economics and evolutionary game theory, of how social norms such as fairness, cooperation and reciprocity emerge, why and when people follow them, when they attend to the relevant norm, why inefficient norms survive, and how psychological dispositions can lead to fairness norms like ours.

Cambridge Core is paywalled. The author’s own copy of chapter 1 on her University of Pennsylvania pages and the publisher’s excerpt at assets.cambridge.org both failed (HTTP 403; connection reset), and the Internet Archive has no copy. It is the standard equilibrium-and-expectations account of social norms; what its definition of a norm says was not seen. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-495 v2 | The Biology of Moral Systems | Alexander (1987), DOI-10.4324/9780203700976 (the 2017 Routledge reissue). By the publisher’s account, moral questions arise from conflicts of interest, and moral systems use confluences of interest at lower levels of organization to manage conflicts at higher ones; they are “systems of indirect reciprocity”, run on reputation, and morality arose within groups for unity in intergroup competition. Unread: filed from the publisher’s description and chapter titles. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description and the chapter list, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. The 1987 Aldine de Gruyter edition is lending-only at the Internet Archive (access-restricted, printdisabled), and the 2017 Routledge reissue is paywalled. A complete scan posted on a course blog was found and not used, since posting a whole in-copyright book is not a lawful copy. What the book argues is known here only from the publisher’s description and from Nowak 2006 (LIT-501), which cites it for the claim that indirect reciprocity leads to morality; both are labelled as theirs. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-504 v2 | A Natural History of Human Morality | Tomasello (2016), DOI-10.4159/9780674915855. By the publisher’s account, a reconstruction from experiments comparing great apes and children of how early humans became “an ultra-cooperative and, eventually, a moral species”. The chapter titles give the steps: an interdependence hypothesis, a second-personal morality of collaborating partners, an “objective” morality of the cultural group, and human morality as “cooperation-plus”. Unread: filed from the description and chapter list. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description and the chapter list, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. The book is lending-only at the Internet Archive (access-restricted, printdisabled) and paywalled at Harvard University Press and De Gruyter. Its relation to Tomasello’s later “The moral psychology of obligation” (LIT-125, read in NOTE-185) is inferred from the chapter titles and that reading, and is labelled as inference. An author’s précis exists (Philosophical Psychology, 2018, DOI 10.1080/09515089.2018.1486605) and was not read; it would be the natural first step. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-514 v3 | Moral Origins: The Evolution of Virtue, Altruism, and Shame | Boehm (2012), Basic Books. By the publisher’s account, the moral sense is “a sophisticated defense mechanism”: group punishment of bullies, thieves, free riders and psychopaths over six million years made social selection favour altruists and bred conscience, virtue and shame. The chapter list adds a “selection-by-reputation hypothesis” and its test. Unread: filed from the description and chapter list. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from the publisher’s description and the chapter list, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

It is the Brussels school’s book-length treatment of dissipative structures and “order through fluctuations”, and the source the Nobel lecture (LIT-516) gives for the Brusselator; what it contains beyond that is not recorded here. |
| LIT-529 v2 | Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter | Deacon (2011), W. W. Norton. An account of how life, mind and purpose (“ententional” phenomena) emerged from physics, built on constraint and absence rather than on added stuff. Its contents run from absence, homunculi and teleonomy through emergence and constraint to a hierarchy of dynamics (homeodynamics, morphodynamics, teleodynamics), a minimal self-producing system (autogenesis), and then work, information, significance, evolution, self, sentience and consciousness.

| LIT-530 v2 | What Is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell | Schrödinger (1944), Cambridge University Press. Lectures given at Trinity College Dublin in February 1943, published as a short book for the lay reader. It asks how events inside a living organism can be accounted for by physics and chemistry. It treats the gene as an “aperiodic crystal” carrying a code-script, defended through the Delbrück model, and in chapter 6 says an organism keeps its order by drawing “order from order” and by feeding on negative entropy from its surroundings.

| LIT-532 v2 | Inadequacy of entropy and entropy derivatives in characterizing the steady state | Landauer (1975), DOI-10.1103/PhysRevA.12.636. Per its abstract: in a bistable system the kinetics of transitions between the two locally stable states can be changed without changing the behaviour near either state, so no quantity that characterises only the vicinity of the states can determine which is more probable. Separately, even a monostable linear circuit’s steady state need not be one of minimum entropy production. Unread: filed from the abstract. | Unavailable — seeded 2026-10-02 from its abstract and Crossref metadata, not read: no lawful full text could be reached (Physical Review A, closed; Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex list no open copy).

| LIT-534 v2 | Order Out of Chaos: Man’s New Dialogue with Nature | Prigogine & Stengers (1984), Bantam; based on their La nouvelle alliance. A book for general readers that sets the science of complexity and irreversibility against classical dynamics. By its contents: the rise and limits of Newtonian science and its philosophical reception (Diderot, Kant, Hegel, Bergson, Whitehead); thermodynamics from Carnot to Boltzmann’s order principle; linear and far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics, bifurcations and order through fluctuations; and the rediscovery of time in physics.

| LIT-537 v2 | Thermodynamic Theory of Structure, Stability and Fluctuations | Glansdorff & Prigogine (1971), Wiley-Interscience. The monograph of the Brussels thermodynamic stability theory. By the Nobel lecture’s citations, it treats local equilibrium (ch. II), the second-order excess entropy δ²S as a Lyapounov function near equilibrium (ch. V), and the excess-entropy-production criterion far from equilibrium, including convection (ch. VII). Unread: filed from catalogue records only. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-02 from library catalogue records; no lawful full text was reachable (the book is in copyright, the Internet Archive scan is a lending-only copy, HathiTrust is search-only, and no publisher description or table of contents was found), so it is not read and no NOTE is filed.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 77 records (67 studies, N = 9,123). ACT reduced global inflexibility, lack of present-moment awareness, fusion, experiential avoidance, self-as-content and inaction, and increased committed action/values, flexibility/acceptance and defusion, against waitlist and active comparators. Those changes were linked to drops in distress. Unread: registered from the abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the PubMed abstract and Crossref, not read.

The closer substitute, Frijda (1988) “The laws of emotion” (American Psychologist 43(5):349–358, DOI 10.1037/0003-066X.43.5.349), was not lawfully reachable from here. A human with library access could read it, or the book, and either would let this entry say more. On 2026-10-14 a lawful full text of the book was sought again and none was reached. OpenAlex: no DOI to look up, and its title search refused the request (the shared daily budget was exhausted). Unpaywall: no DOI to query. Crossref: still no record for the book. Cambridge University Press’s product page returned HTTP 403; the book is not on Cambridge Core as an open title. UvA-DARE, Frijda’s university repository, holds a metadata record for it with no file attached. PhilPapers returned HTTP 403. Europe PMC: no hit. Internet Archive: no copy of The Emotions; the only Frijda book there, The Laws of Emotion (2007), is a borrow-only lending scan. A web search found only catalogue and bookseller listings. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-548 v2 | The Need for a New Medical Model: A Challenge for Biomedicine | Engel (1977), Science 196(4286):129–136. The paper that named the biopsychosocial model. Its abstract says the dominant biomedical model of disease “leaves no room within its framework for the social, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of illness”, and proposes a biopsychosocial model as “a blueprint for research, a framework for teaching, and a design for action in the real world of health care”. Unread: registered from its PubMed abstract and Crossref; no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from its PubMed record and Crossref, not read. Not open access: Unpaywall lists no open copy of the Science article or of any of its five reprints (Dimensions of Behavior 1978, Holistic Medicine 1989, Family Systems Medicine 1992, The Health Psychology Reader 2002, Psychodynamic Psychiatry 2012), and Europe PMC holds the abstract only. science.org answered both the article page and the PDF with a Cloudflare “Just a moment” challenge, which I did not try to get past. The copies a web search turns up are on a private practitioner’s site and on document-sharing sites, neither an author nor an institutional deposit, so I did not open them. A reader with Science or AAAS access, or a library copy of any reprint, can read it lawfully; a reading would move this to Active. No shorter open work by Engel stating the same model was found (his 1980 American Journal of Psychiatry follow-up, “The clinical application of the biopsychosocial model”, DOI 10.1176/ajp.137.5.535, is closed in Unpaywall, and psychiatryonline.org answered it with HTTP 403 and a challenge page). |
| LIT-549 v2 | Relational Frame Theory: A Post-Skinnerian Account of Human Language and Cognition | Hayes, Barnes-Holmes & Roche (eds.), Kluwer Academic/Plenum, 2001. The founding book of Relational Frame Theory: human language and cognition are learned, generalized operant behaviour, the arbitrarily applicable relating of events (mutually, in combination, and with transformation of their functions) under contextual control. Eight chapters state the theory, from derived relations to rules and the self; five apply it to development, education, social processes, psychopathology and religion. Unread: registered from Crossref’s chapter records, with LIT-541 read in its place. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Crossref’s book and chapter records, not read; LIT-541, a 21-page statement of the same theory by two of its editors, was read in its place. No lawful full text of the book was found. Springer’s book page returned a “Client Challenge” bot page, Unpaywall and OpenAlex list no open copy, and Maynooth University’s repository (where Barnes-Holmes and Roche deposited many RFT papers) holds no chapter of it. A copy on an Ethiopian national-library server was not used, because it is not an author, institutional or publisher deposit. The editors’ own fourteen-page chapter 8, “Relational Frame Theory: A Précis” (pp. 141–154, DOI 10.1007/0-306-47638-x_8), is the part a human reader should take first; a reading of the whole book would move this to Active. |
| LIT-550 v2 | Emotion and Adaptation | Lazarus (1991), Emotion and Adaptation, Oxford University Press, New York (ISBN 0-19-506994-3). The book-length statement of Lazarus’s cognitive-motivational-relational appraisal theory; its chapter titles frame emotion through the person–environment relationship, motivation, coping and goal congruence. Eleven chapters run from definition and measurement through motivation and coping, cognition, causality, negative, positive and problematic emotions, development, social influence and health, to research, assessment, treatment and prevention. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Crossref’s chapter records, not read, and no substitute was read either. The book (Oxford University Press, about 560 pages) is closed at the publisher. The shorter work by the same author that states the same theory, Lazarus (1991), “Progress on a cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotion” (American Psychologist 46(8):819–834, DOI 10.1037/0003-066X.46.8.819), has no lawful open copy. APA does not make it free, and Unpaywall and Semantic Scholar list none. The only full text the web search found is in a bulk upload of Lazarus’s journal articles to the Internet Archive by a private user, which is not a lawful source, so I did not open it. Other Lazarus emotion papers (American Psychologist 1991 46(4); Smith & Lazarus 1993; Psychological Inquiry 1995; Journal of Personality 2006) are also closed. His 1993 Annual Review of Psychology chapter is listed as free at the publisher, but annualreviews.org answered with a bot challenge. A human with library access could read the 1991 American Psychologist paper and file it as the read substitute. |
| LIT-551 v2 | Experiential Avoidance and Behavioral Disorders: A Functional Dimensional Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment | Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette & Strosahl (1996), Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 64(6):1152–1168. Syndromal diagnosis has not found functional pathological processes, and functional analysis has not produced a replicable classification. The paper proposes functional diagnostic dimensions instead, and offers experiential avoidance as one: many disorders are unhealthy efforts to escape and avoid emotions, thoughts, memories and other private experiences. Unread: registered from the abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the PubMed abstract and Crossref, not read. The article is closed access at APA, and Unpaywall and OpenAlex list no open copy. Copies found online were all third-party postings: a clinician’s practice site (actmindfully.com.au), an Argentine ACT group’s site (grupoact.com.ar), and a CiteSeerX cache whose source could not be traced because CiteSeerX now redirects to the Wayback Machine, which this environment’s egress policy blocks. None is an author, institutional or publisher deposit, so none was used. The ACBS publication page (contextualscience.org) gives the citation and abstract but no file. A human reader with APA PsycArticles access, or the chapter of the same title in The Act in Context (Routledge, 2015, DOI 10.4324/9781315745138-20; Crossref lists it without authors, so that it is a reprint is an inference), could promote this. |
| LIT-552 v2 | Toward a Philosophical Structure for Psychiatry | Kendler (2005), American Journal of Psychiatry 162(3):433–440. Eight propositions for a philosophical frame for psychiatry, per the abstract: psychiatry is grounded in first-person experience; Cartesian substance dualism and epiphenomenalism are false; brain→mind and mind→brain causation are both real; psychiatric disorders are etiologically complex, with no more “spirochete-like” discoveries to come; explanatory pluralism beats monism, especially biological reductionism; and the goal is “patchy reductionism” and “piecemeal integration”. Unread: registered from its PubMed abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from its PubMed abstract and Crossref, not read. Not open access: Unpaywall lists no open copy, Europe PMC and PubMed Central hold no full text, and psychiatryonline.org answered both the full-text page and the PDF with HTTP 403 and a Cloudflare “Just a moment” challenge, which I did not try to get past. A web search finds it only on a document-sharing site, which is not an author or institutional deposit. A reader with American Journal of Psychiatry access can read it lawfully; a reading would move this to Active. Its readable substitute is Kendler’s “Explanatory models for psychiatric illness” (Am J Psychiatry 165(6):695–702, 2008), filed and read in full as LIT-539. That paper cites this one for its pluralist premise and develops its piecemeal integration and its mind–brain propositions, but not its arguments against dualism and epiphenomenalism. A later open paper, “The dappled nature of causes of psychiatric illness” (Mol Psychiatry 17(4):377–388, 2012, PMC3312951), was not read or filed. |
| LIT-556 v3 | Reinforcement, Reward, and Intrinsic Motivation: A Meta-Analysis | Cameron & Pierce (1994), Review of Educational Research 64(3):363–423. A hierarchical meta-analysis of about 96 experiments concluding that rewards do not, overall, decrease intrinsic motivation; that verbal rewards increase it; and that the only reliable negative effect is on free-choice time when expected tangible rewards are given for merely doing a task. It called for “abandoning cognitive evaluation theory”. Unread: registered from the account of it in LIT-557 and its authors’ restatement in LIT-562. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Crossref and from the two papers that analyse it, not read. The article is closed access at SAGE (Review of Educational Research), and Unpaywall finds no open copy. A web search found it only on Scribd, a third-party upload, which was not opened. Its authors’ reply to Deci, Koestner and Ryan, Cameron, Banko and Pierce (2001, LIT-562), has since been read and restates this paper’s results, but not as a substitute for reading it. A reader with SAGE access could promote this. |
| LIT-572 v2 | Narrative Identity | McAdams & McLean (2013), Current Directions in Psychological Science 22(3):233–238. Per its abstract, narrative identity is “a person’s internalized and evolving life story, integrating the reconstructed past and imagined future to provide life with some degree of unity and purpose”. Narrators who find redemptive meanings in adversity and whose stories feature agency and exploration “tend to enjoy higher levels of mental health, well-being, and maturity”. Unread: registered from the abstract; the construct is read in LIT-595. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref record and its abstract, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. SAGE does not make it open, Unpaywall and OpenAlex report it closed with no repository copy, Kate McLean’s publications page lists it without a file, the APS journal page offers no PDF, and ResearchGate refused this session (403). Its definition and its role are read first-hand in McAdams’s 2019 essay (LIT-595, read in full), which quotes the definition and builds on it. Filed because it is the canonical citation for narrative identity in psychology. A human reader with SAGE access could read its six pages and move it to Active. |
| LIT-573 v2 | Self-Command in Practice, in Policy, and in a Theory of Rational Choice | Schelling (1984), American Economic Review 74(2):1-11, the Richard T. Ely Lecture, on self-command and what it means for the theory of rational choice. Unread: no lawful free copy. Schelling’s 1980 essay “The Intimate Contest for Self-Command”, LIT-602, is read in its place. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from bibliographic records, not read. No lawful free copy was found. The article is on JSTOR (AER 74(2), the May 1984 Papers and Proceedings issue), which returned a bot challenge and was not pursued. RePEc lists no downloadable version. It is reprinted in Schelling’s Strategies of Commitment and Other Essays (Harvard University Press, 2006, pp. 63-81), which is not open access. The only copies found online were on a personal website that is not the author’s and on course pages, which this record does not use. Schelling’s earlier, freely published essay on the same subject was read instead and filed as LIT-602 (NOTE-452). A human with JSTOR access could read this lecture and move it to Active. |
| LIT-574 v2 | A Multicomponent Conceptualization of Authenticity: Theory and Research | Kernis & Goldman (2006), Advances in Experimental Social Psychology 38:283–357. Unread. As two read papers report it: authenticity is “the unimpeded operation of one’s true self in one’s daily enterprise”, it is measured by the 45-item Authenticity Inventory (AI-3), and dispositional authenticity correlates with self-esteem (r = .47), self-concept clarity and self-actualization and negatively with distress. It is commonly summarized as four components: awareness, unbiased processing, behaviour and relational orientation. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref record and from two read papers that report it, not read. No lawful full text was found: the chapter is paywalled at Elsevier (ScienceDirect), Unpaywall and Semantic Scholar list it as closed, and the copies a web search turns up are uploads to ResearchGate and academia.edu, neither an author or institutional deposit that could be reached (ResearchGate refuses automated requests). Michael Kernis died in 2009, so no author page holds it. It is a 75-page chapter; a human reader with library access to Advances in Experimental Social Psychology 38 can read it, and that would move this to Active. |
| LIT-575 v2 | Identification and Wholeheartedness | Frankfurt (1987/88), in Schoeman (ed.), Responsibility, Character, and the Emotions (CUP), pp. 27–45; reprinted in The Importance of What We Care About (CUP 1988), pp. 159–176. Unread. By the record’s second-hand reports it is Frankfurt’s answer to the regress in the hierarchical account: identification ends in a “decisive commitment” made “without reservation”, which is not arbitrary, and wholeheartedness is the integration that such a decision aims at, extruding the rival desire “as an outlaw”. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Cambridge’s chapter records and the record’s own second-hand readings, not read. No lawful full text was found: the chapter is paywalled at Cambridge Core in both the Schoeman volume and the 1988 collection, Unpaywall lists no open copy, and the copies a web search turns up are uploads to academia.edu and lecture notes about the essay, not the essay. A human reader with library access to either volume (pp. 27–45 of the first, pp. 159–176 of the second) can read it in an hour; that reading would move this to Active and is the first-hand text THEORY-029 needs for its middle case. |
| LIT-578 v2 | Dynamic Patterns: The Self-Organization of Brain and Behavior | Kelso (1995), Dynamic Patterns: The Self-Organization of Brain and Behavior, MIT Press, xvii + 334 pp. The book-length statement of coordination dynamics. Unread: registered from catalogue records. What the record knows of its content comes from the works that cite it: the coordination potential of the HKB model (reproduced in Kelso 2021, Box 1), absolute versus relative coordination (De Jaegher & Di Paolo 2007, citing p. 98), a chapter on how HKB arose (ch. 3) and one on brain rhythms (ch. 8), per Kelso 2021. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 as a seed, not read. No lawful full text was found: the book has no DOI, is not listed as open access, and MIT Press’s page refused an automated request. Under the owner’s rule for books it is supplanted by a shorter work by the same author, Kelso’s 2021 retrospective on the HKB model (LIT-601), which was read. It is filed because it is the citation others reach for when they mean coordination dynamics, relative coordination or metastability; De Jaegher & Di Paolo (LIT-571) and Raja et al. (LIT-598) both cite it. |
| LIT-583 v2 | Breakdown of Will | Ainslie (2001), Cambridge University Press. The book-length statement of picoeconomics: hyperbolic discounting makes a person a population of bargaining interests, and will is the recursive bundling of choices into precedents. Unread: registered from the publisher’s description and the précis, LIT-586, which stands in for it. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the publisher’s description and from the outline of the book given in its précis, not read. Not open access: Unpaywall reports no open copy, and no author deposit of the book was found (the author’s site, picoeconomics.org, carries the précis and articles, not the book). The owner suggested the précis instead, and it is read and filed as LIT-586 (NOTE-443), which follows the book’s three sections and twelve chapters. The book is kept as the citation others reach for. A human with library access could read chapters 5-8 (the bargaining model and its evidence) against the précis. |
| LIT-590 v2 | Structures of Agency: Essays | Bratman (2007), Oxford University Press: twelve essays (1996–2006) on how planning structures human agency over time and ground self-governance. They include “Reflection, Planning, and Temporally Extended Agency” (on the Lockean role of plans), “Two Problems about Human Agency”, “Autonomy and Hierarchy”, “Three Theories of Self-Governance” and “Temptation Revisited”. Unread: registered from the contents; the theory is read in Bratman’s 2018 essay LIT-567. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref records of the book and its thirteen chapters, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. Oxford Academic is closed, and the Internet Archive scan (structuresofagen0000brat) is an access-restricted lending copy, not opened. No chapter was found as a lawful open article. Its theory of self-governance is read first-hand in Bratman’s later essay “A Planning Agent’s Self-Governance over Time” (2018, LIT-567), which builds on its essays. Filed because it is the collection in which the planning theory of self-governance and its Lockean reading appear, and other filings in this batch cite it. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-591 v2 | Internal Family Systems Therapy | Schwartz & Sweezy (2019/2020), Guilford, 2nd ed., the authoritative text of Internal Family Systems therapy. IFS synthesises “the plural mind, or the idea that we all contain many different parts, and systems thinking”. Extreme parts are protectors or burdened exiles, not pathology, and everyone has a Self that can lead the inner system once parts “step back”. Therapy restores trust in the Self’s leadership and unburdens exiles. Chapter 1 read; the rest unread. | Unavailable — chapter 1 read in full 2026-10-03 (NOTE-457, Skimmed), from the sample chapter Guilford posts; the other nineteen chapters unread. No lawful full text could be reached: the book is sold by Guilford, the Internet Archive’s scans are of the 1995 first edition and access-restricted, and Schwartz’s 2013 Journal of Clinical Psychology article and the 2023 Family Process article (Brenner, Schwartz & Becker) are closed, the latter’s author share-link behind a Cloudflare challenge. Chapter 1 gives the model’s origin and its eight “essentials”, and the IFS Institute’s “Evolution of the Internal Family Systems Model” (LIT-579, read in full) gives Schwartz’s short statement of parts, roles and the Self. Filed because it is the canonical text of IFS. A reading of chapters 2–4 (systems, the Self, burdens) and 19 (research) would place it. |
| LIT-592 v2 | The Authentic Personality: A Theoretical and Empirical Conceptualization and the Development of the Authenticity Scale | Wood, Linley, Maltby, Baliousis & Joseph (2008), Journal of Counseling Psychology 55(3):385–399. Unread. Per its abstract it builds the 12-item Authenticity Scale on a tripartite, person-centred conception (self-alienation, authentic living, accepting external influence), supported by exploratory and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis, with discriminant validity from the Big Five, nonsignificant correlations with social desirability, test–retest r = .78 to .91, and strong relations of every subscale to self-esteem and well-being. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the abstract on the University of Manchester research portal and the repository records, not read. Every lawful copy found is out of reach: Manchester’s portal lists a pre-peer-review manuscript (PRE-PEER-REVIEW.PDF, 143 KB) whose download is behind a JavaScript and cookie challenge, which I did not try to get past; Stirling’s STORRE holds the published version under a permanent embargo (“The publisher does not allow this work to be made publicly available”); Warwick’s WRAP and Lincoln’s repository records carry no file; ResearchGate refused the request. A human reader can open the Manchester manuscript in a browser, or ask an author for a copy through STORRE; either would move this to Active. |
| LIT-593 v2 | Intention, Plans, and Practical Reason | Bratman (1987), Harvard University Press; reissued CSLI 1999. The founding statement of the planning theory of intention. As Bratman summarises it in LIT-567, prior partial plans “settle practical issues, pose problems of means and the like, filter solutions to those problems, and guide action”, supporting cross-temporal and social organisation within our cognitive limits. Unread: registered from catalogue records; the theory is read in the 2018 essay. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from library catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. Harvard University Press (1987) and the CSLI reissue (1999) are not open, and the Internet Archive’s two scans are access-restricted lending copies, not opened. Its planning theory is read first-hand in Bratman’s own later statement, “A Planning Agent’s Self-Governance over Time” (2018, LIT-567, read in full), which extends it. Filed because it is the canonical citation for the planning theory of intention. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-594 v2 | The Ethics of Authenticity | Taylor (1991), Harvard University Press, 142 pp.; first published in Canada the same year by Anansi as The Malaise of Modernity, an extended version of the 1991 CBC Massey Lectures. Unread. As commonly summarized (no publisher’s description was reachable), it argues that the modern ideal of authenticity, being true to oneself, is a genuine moral ideal rather than mere narcissism or relativism, and that it is degraded when it is cut off from shared “horizons of significance” and from the dialogical way identities are formed. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from catalogue records, not read. No lawful full text was found: the book is in print with Harvard University Press, the Internet Archive copy (ethicsofauthenti00tayl, the 1992 printing) is an access-restricted lending copy, the publisher’s digital edition at De Gruyter returned an empty bot-check response, and the full-text copies a web search turns up are file-sharing uploads, which were not opened. No shorter, lawfully readable work by Taylor stating the same argument was found to read in its place (see Standing in the record). The book is about 140 pages, so a human reader with a library copy can read it in an afternoon; that reading would move this to Active. |
| LIT-596 v2 | Three Theories of Self-Governance | Bratman (2004), Philosophical Topics 32(1/2):21–46; reprinted in Structures of Agency (OUP 2007), pp. 222–253. Unread. Per the publisher’s abstract it revisits the Frankfurt–Watson exchange over the structures of free agency, treats it as a debate about self-governance, holds that agential authority comes from an attitude’s role in the “Lockean organization” of temporally extended agency rather than from tracking the good, gives that role to self-governing policies, and proposes an intention-based theory. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref and Oxford Academic records, not read. No lawful full text was found: the article is paywalled at the Philosophy Documentation Center (purchase, $20) and the reprint at Oxford Academic, Unpaywall and Semantic Scholar list no open copy, and PhilPapers and ResearchGate refused automated requests (403). A human reader with access to Philosophical Topics 32 or to Structures of Agency (pp. 222–253) can read it; that reading would move this to Active and would supply THEORY-029 with Bratman’s self-governing policies first-hand. |
| LIT-597 v2 | Self-Constitution: Agency, Identity, and Integrity | Korsgaard (2009), Oxford University Press, from her 2002 Locke Lectures. The argument is that we constitute ourselves as agents, and as the particular agents we are, by choosing under the constitutive principles of action, the categorical and hypothetical imperatives. On Plato’s “constitutional model”, good action is action that issues from a unified soul. The chapters run from agency and identity to “How to be a Person”. Unread: registered from the contents; the account is read in LIT-587. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref records of the book and its ten chapters, not read: no lawful copy of the book could be reached. Oxford Academic is closed and the Internet Archive scan (selfconstitution0000kors) is an access-restricted lending copy. Korsgaard’s drafts of the 2002 Locke Lectures it grew from are no longer on her Harvard site, but survive in the Internet Archive’s captures of her old FAS page (people.fas.harvard.edu/~korsgaar/Korsgaard.LL1–LL6, 2002–2005). They are author-posted and lawful, but book-length and superseded, and were not read. Its account is read first-hand in her short restatement “The Normative Constitution of Agency” (2014, LIT-587, read in full), which extends it. Filed because it is the canonical citation for self-constitution. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied or the drafts are read, not on merit. |
| LIT-599 v2 | The Sources of Normativity | Korsgaard (1996), Cambridge University Press, ed. Onora O’Neill: the expanded Tanner Lectures (1992), with commentaries by G. A. Cohen, Raymond Geuss, Thomas Nagel and Bernard Williams and Korsgaard’s reply. The four lectures follow the 1992 sequence: the normative question, reflective endorsement, the authority of reflection, and the origin of value and the scope of obligation. Unread: registered from the contents; the argument is read in the lectures, LIT-564. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the Crossref records of the book and its chapters, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. Cambridge Core is closed, the author’s Harvard deposit (DASH) answered with an AWS WAF human-verification page that was not passed, and the Internet Archive scan (sourcesofnormati0000kors) is an access-restricted lending copy. Its argument is read first-hand in the Tanner Lectures it expands (1992, LIT-564, read in full), which it extends. Filed because it is the canonical citation for practical identity, and because what it adds (the commentaries and Korsgaard’s reply) is what the lectures lack. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-600 v2 | Attention to Action: Willed and Automatic Control of Behavior | Norman & Shallice (1986), in Davidson, Schwartz & Shapiro (eds.), Consciousness and Self-Regulation vol. 4 (Plenum), pp. 1-18; first issued as CHIP Report 99 (UCSD, December 1980). Per the report’s ERIC abstract: routine action runs off by “contention scheduling” among competing schemas, and a “supervisory attentional mechanism” biases that selection for novel, ill-learned, dangerous or planned action; “will becomes the application of attentional resources to the control of action”. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from bibliographic records and from the ERIC abstract of the 1980 technical report, not read. The 1986 chapter is not open access: Unpaywall reports no open copy, and SpringerLink returned a JavaScript bot challenge, which was not pursued. The 1980 version (CHIP Report 99, University of California San Diego, catalogued by ERIC as ED205562, “Technical Report No. 8006”, 43 pages) was the brief’s lead. ERIC has a catalogue record and abstract but no full text: its fulltext URL returns 404. The copies on Academia.edu sit behind a bot challenge, and those on ResearchGate and Scribd are uploads this record does not use. No DTIC copy was found. A human could ask UCSD’s library or the authors’ institutions for the CHIP report, or read the chapter through a library, and move this to Active. |
| LIT-604 v2 | Control theory: A useful conceptual framework for personality–social, clinical, and health psychology | Carver & Scheier (1982), Psychological Bulletin 92(1):111-135. A review arguing, by its title, that control theory is a useful framework for personality-social, clinical and health psychology. Unread: no lawful open copy and no published abstract could be reached. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from bibliographic records, not read. No lawful free copy was found. Unpaywall reports no open copy. Semantic Scholar marks it closed and says the publisher has withheld the abstract. The APA landing page refused the request (HTTP 403). The authors’ University of Miami pages offer their self-report scales, not their papers. No shorter work by Carver and Scheier stating the control-theory model was found in a lawful open copy. The only open copies seen were on ResearchGate and similar sharing sites, which this record does not use. A human with APA PsycNet access could read it and move it to Active. |
| LIT-627 v2 | At the crossroad of the search for spontaneous radiation and the Orch OR consciousness theory | Derakhshani, Diósi, Laubenstein, Piscicchia & Curceanu (2022), Physics of Life Reviews 42:8–14. By its abstract: a critical analysis of Orch OR against new bounds on the spontaneous radiation that the simplest gravity-related dynamical collapse model predicts, concluding that Orch OR built on that simplest version is “highly implausible in all the cases analyzed”. Unread: registered from the abstract and the reference list. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from the abstract, keywords and reference list, not read. The article is closed access at Elsevier. Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Europe PMC list no open copy; there is no arXiv version (searched by title, abstract phrase and author pairs); Diósi’s publication list gives the DOI but, unlike his other 2022 papers, no PDF; ScienceDirect returned a bot challenge and CORE a redirect challenge, so I stopped.

| LIT-647 v2 | Neural traveling waves in cortex: Network mechanisms and potential roles in neural computation | Muller, Busch, Davis & Reynolds (2026), Neuron 114:3156–3174. A review of neural traveling waves within single cortical areas, chiefly visual cortex: how circuits generate them, and how, by embedding sensory history in the evolving activity across a sensory map, they may implement spatiotemporal computations such as predicting upcoming input. It ends with a framework for generative processing by waves over sensory maps.

| LIT-684 v4 | Responsibility and Control: A Theory of Moral Responsibility | Fischer & Ravizza (1998), Cambridge University Press. Unread seed. The most influential reasons-responsiveness theory of moral responsibility. Responsibility requires guidance control, not regulative control (the control that involves alternative possibilities), and Frankfurt-type cases show the two come apart. An agent has guidance control of an action when it issues from her own, moderately reasons-responsive mechanism: regularly receptive to reasons, including moral ones, and at least weakly reactive to them. The mechanism is her own when she has taken responsibility for it, which makes responsibility historical. Guidance control so described is compatible with causal determinism, which is the position Fischer calls semicompatibilism. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 as a seed, from Crossref’s book and chapter records, the chapter openings Cambridge Core displays, the record’s second-hand readings, the SEP entry Moral Responsibility (LIT-691) and Fischer’s own summary in “Stories and the Meaning of Life” (LIT-689, read), not read. No lawful full text was found: the book is paywalled at Cambridge Core, and Unpaywall and OpenAlex list no open copy (oa_status closed, no repository holding). The shorter work the record’s book rule asks for is the authors’ own précis (Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 61(2), September 2000, first page 441, DOI 10.2307/2653660), also closed: JSTOR answered with a bot challenge, so I stopped there. Fischer’s UC Riverside pages post no papers that could be reached, and the copies of the précis in two third-party collections of his papers (andrewmbailey.com/jmf and its wixsite continuation) are not the author’s, a publisher’s or a repository’s, so they were not opened. A web search also shows a PDF titled “Fischer Guidance control and RR” on a UNAM institute’s site, whose search snippet is the book’s series page; it is a course file with no statement of permission, so it was not opened either. A person with Cambridge Core or library access can supply the book (Cambridge UP, 1998, DOI 10.1017/CBO9780511814594); chapters 2, 3 and 8 (pp. 28–91 and 207–239) are the parts to read first, and the short précis is the quickest way to an Active reading. Update 2026-10-05: the précis is now read (LIT-728), with chapter 1 to p. 19 from the publisher’s preview. |
| LIT-685 v3 | Freedom Within Reason | Wolf (1990), Oxford University Press. Unread seed. The book-length Reason View: free will is “the freedom to be good, or the freedom to do the right thing for the right reasons” (publisher’s abstract). It sets up the dilemma of autonomy, argues that the Real Self View (Hume, Frankfurt, Watson, Taylor) and the Autonomy View both fail, states the Reason View, defends its notion of ability against determinism, and asks what the True and the Good must be for the view to hold. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 as a seed, from Crossref’s book and chapter records (whose abstracts are each chapter’s opening paragraph), the SEP entry the record holds and an MIT lecture handout, not read.

A person with Oxford Academic or library access can supply it (Oxford University Press, 1990, 153 pp., DOI 10.1093/oso/9780195056167.001.0001); chapter 4, “The Reason View” (pp. 67–93), and chapter 2, “The Real Self View” (pp. 23–45), are the parts to read first. |
| LIT-686 v2 | The Importance of What We Care About | Frankfurt (1982), Synthese 53(2):257–272; reprinted as the title essay of The Importance of What We Care About (CUP 1988), pp. 80–94. Unread. By the record’s second-hand reports it is the source of two of Frankfurt’s later themes: caring as a category of the will (Buss and Westlund, SEP Personal Autonomy §2) and volitional necessity, the inability to will otherwise that Luther’s “I can do no other” illustrates (Robb, SEP PAP §3.3). Frankfurt’s own preface calls it his first “stab” at “a theory of ideals”. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-04 from Crossref, the record’s second-hand readings and Frankfurt’s own preface to the 1988 collection, not read.

The chapter in the 1988 collection is at Cambridge Core, which sells this collection’s chapters (as found for LIT-575), and Cambridge’s publisher preview of the collection stops in chapter 1. The copies a web search turns up are Scribd uploads and an academia.edu discussion, not the essay on a course page, an author’s page or a repository, so none was opened.

| LIT-688 v3 | Asymmetrical Freedom | Wolf (1980), The Journal of Philosophy 77(3):151–166. Unread. By the SEP’s report it is the origin of the Reason View’s asymmetry: an agent who acts in accord with the True and the Good is praiseworthy even if psychologically determined so that she could not have done otherwise, but one who acts against it is blameworthy only if she could have done otherwise. Blame therefore needs regulative control and praise needs only guidance control, and Wolf answers the threat from determinism by denying that physical determination entails psychological determination. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Crossref, the record’s own second-hand readings and the SEP entry it already holds, not read. No lawful full text was found. The article is paywalled at JSTOR (stable 2025667) and the Philosophy Documentation Center, and JSTOR’s free Early Journal Content stops long before 1980. Unpaywall lists no open copy (oa_status closed). The author’s UNC faculty page posts no papers. PhilPapers (WOLAF) answered with a bot challenge, so I stopped there. The PDFs a web search turns up are a JSTOR download re-posted on an unrelated Squarespace site, a syllabus-collection upload on Weebly, and Scribd and Course Hero uploads; none is the author’s, a publisher’s or an institutional repository’s, so none was opened.

| LIT-690 v3 | Sanity and the Metaphysics of Responsibility | Wolf (1987/88), in Schoeman (ed.), Responsibility, Character, and the Emotions (CUP), pp. 46–62. Unread. By second-hand reports it argues that the “deep self” views of Frankfurt, Watson and Taylor, on which an agent is responsible when her actions flow from desires and values she identifies with, are insufficient. JoJo, raised by a vicious dictator, identifies wholly with the values he inherits yet is not responsible, because his upbringing leaves him unable to see right from wrong. What must be added is sanity: the ability to know and appreciate what one is doing and that it is right or wrong. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-03 from Cambridge’s chapter record and opening extract, the record’s second-hand readings and an MIT lecture handout about the essay, not read.

| LIT-693 v2 | The Importance of What We Care About: Philosophical Essays | Frankfurt (1988), Cambridge University Press: thirteen essays from 1969 to 1988, twelve reprinted “with minor stylistic changes” and “Rationality and the Unthinkable” new. Not read as a book. Its preface, read in the publisher’s preview, says the essays’ considerations are “primarily structural rather than historical”, that volition rather than reason is the faculty they explore, and that necessity is “in certain respects essential” to autonomy. The record cites its pagination as IWWCA. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-04 as a seed, from Crossref and from Cambridge’s publisher preview of the book (front matter, contents, sources, the three-page preface and reprint pp. 1–9 of chapter 1), not read as a book. The book is sold at Cambridge Core and Unpaywall lists no open copy. Its essays are filed one by one where they matter: chapters 1 and 2 (LIT-694, LIT-692) were read in full from their journal versions, and chapters 7 and 12 (LIT-686, LIT-575) are Deferred. The seed is kept because the record cites the book’s pagination (“IWWCA”) throughout and because its preface states Frankfurt’s method first-hand. A person with library access can supply the remaining essays; chapters 5, 8 and 12 are the ones the record’s theories lean on. |
| LIT-695 v2 | The Faintest Passion | Frankfurt (1992), Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association 66(3):5–16, his Eastern Division Presidential Address; reprinted in Necessity, Volition, and Love (CUP 1999), pp. 95–107. Unread. By the record’s second-hand reports it replaces decisive commitment with “satisfaction”, an absence of “restlessness or resistance” toward one’s motives (Buss and Westlund, SEP Personal Autonomy n. 1), and holds that wholeheartedness needs the person to be “resolutely on the side of one of the forces struggling within him”, not untroubled by opposition (as Velleman quotes it, NVL 100). | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-04 from Crossref and the record’s second-hand readings, not read. No lawful full text was found. Unpaywall and OpenAlex list no open copy of the address or of its reprints (oa_status closed): it is at JSTOR (stable 3130658), the APA Centennial Series reprint of 2013 is at the Philosophy Documentation Center, and the chapter in Necessity, Volition, and Love is at Cambridge Core. I did not open those pages.

| LIT-697 v2 | The feeling of being a group: Corporate emotions and collective consciousness | Schmid (2014), in von Scheve & Salmela (eds.), Collective Emotions (OUP), pp. 3–16. Unread. By summaries of its abstract: against the view that groups cannot have emotions because they lack consciousness, it argues that a group with proper intentional attitudes has consciousness, as plural pre-reflective self-awareness, and so meets a precondition for emotion. Groups probably cannot have “fast” emotions but can have “slow” ones such as confidence, happiness or grief. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-04, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. The chapter is paywalled at Oxford Academic, Unpaywall finds no open copy, and the University of Vienna’s research portal refused the request; the author’s preprint is posted only on ResearchGate and academia.edu, which this record does not use. What is said of it comes from summaries of its abstract returned by a search service, labelled unverified. A person could supply the chapter from the OUP volume or ask the author; a reading would move this to Active and should test whether its “corporate emotions” are corporate attitudes in List’s sense. |
| LIT-698 v2 | Collective Guilt | Isaacs (2011), ch. 3 of Moral Responsibility in Collective Contexts (OUP), pp. 71–94. Unread. By a summary of its abstract, it takes collective guilt to be blameworthy collective moral responsibility, a feature of collective agents that does not distribute to members; separates being guilty, believing oneself guilty and feeling guilty, and personal, membership and collective guilt; and, engaging Gilbert, concludes that collectives may be guilty without having guilt feelings. The review in NDPR confirms the non-distribution claim (pp. 81–83). | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-04, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. The work the owner means is chapter 3, “Collective Guilt”, of Isaacs’s Moral Responsibility in Collective Contexts (OUP, 2011); no Monist paper of that title exists. The book is paywalled, and none of Isaacs’s shorter papers on collective responsibility (Midwest Studies 2014, New Criminal Law Review 2013) has an open copy.

| LIT-703 v2 | Emotion in the Workplace: A Reappraisal | Ashforth & Humphrey (1995), Human Relations 48(2):97–125. Organisations treat emotion as the antithesis of rationality, and so regulate it through four institutionalised mechanisms: neutralizing, buffering, prescribing and normalizing emotion. Against this, emotionality and rationality are “interpenetrated”, emotion is an inseparable part of organisational life and often functional for the organisation, as shown for motivation, leadership and group dynamics. Unread: from the abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-04 from bibliographic records and the publisher’s abstract, not read. No lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-704 v2 | The laws of emotion | Frijda (1988), American Psychologist 43(5):349–358. Frijda’s short statement, in ten pages, that emotions obey laws, and the article the record names as the efficient way into his theory. Unread: no lawful copy was reachable.

I did not disable verification. Every other hit was Scribd, academia.edu, ResearchGate or a commercial book site, none of them usable under the record’s rules. A human with library access could read its ten pages, and that reading would move this to Active and LIT-546 with it. |
| LIT-707 v2 | Aggregativity: Reductive Heuristics for Finding Emergence | Wimsatt (1997), Philosophy of Science 64(S4):S372–S384. Unread. Per its abstract: most scientists call a system property emergent if it depends on the parts’ mode of organisation, a view consistent with reduction. Emergence is the failure of aggregativity, the state in which “the whole is nothing more than the sum of its parts”. Aggregativity needs four conditions; met differently for different decompositions and in degrees, they give criteria for choosing decompositions and heuristics for detecting the biases of “vulgar reductionisms”. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-04, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. Philosophy of Science’s PSA supplement is paywalled at Cambridge Core and JSTOR, Unpaywall finds no open copy, and neither the 1997 paper nor its 2000 expansion is posted on Wimsatt’s department pages. Content here is the publisher’s abstract and Wimsatt’s own summary in “Reductionism and its heuristics” (Synthese 2006), which his department posts and which was read in part. A person with library access could supply it; a reading would move this to Active and should state the four conditions exactly. |

| LIT-717 v2 | Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry | Longino (1990), Princeton University Press: develops contextual empiricism. Data support hypotheses only through background assumptions, so objectivity is secured not by individual method but by critical interaction in a community, and is a matter of degree.

| LIT-723 v2 | Making Things Happen: A Theory of Causal Explanation | Woodward (2003; Crossref print date 2004), Oxford University Press. A non-reductive, non-circular account of causation and explanation built on interventions; relationships that are stable under interventions are invariant, and invariance rather than lawhood explains causal explanation in the special sciences (per the publisher’s abstract).

| LIT-751 v3 | The Problem of Intransigently Biased Agents | Holman & Bruner (2015), Philosophy of Science 82:956–968. By its abstract, one intransigently biased agent in Zollman’s network model keeps an honest community from converging on the truth; two remedies are explored, one letting agents choose whom to trust. Unread: the authors’ 2017 paper LIT-744, read, applies the same model family to the same medical case. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-05 from Crossref and the authors’ institutional portals, not read: the published PDF in ANU Open Research is embargoed until 31 December 2037 and was not downloaded, the journal is closed, and no author-hosted copy was found. Only the abstract was seen: one intransigently biased agent in a Zollman network keeps an honest community from ever converging on the truth, and letting agents choose whom to trust is one remedy explored. The authors’ 2017 paper “Experimentation by Industrial Selection” (LIT-744), read in full, uses the same model family on the same medical case and cites this one. Filed because it is the authors’ first model of biased agents in medical research. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-753 v2 | Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It | Doctorow (2025), Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It, MCD/FSG. The book-length statement of his account of platform decay. Unread: the thesis is read in his 2023 essay LIT-731 and his 2024 talk LIT-033. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-05 from Open Library and the author’s own book listing, not read: no copy was sought, the book being in copyright and commercially published. Doctorow’s thesis is read first-hand in his 2023 essay “Tiktok’s enshittification” (LIT-731), the post that named the concept, and in his 2024 DEF CON talk (LIT-033). Filed because it is his book-length statement of enshittification, which the owner’s essay cites. On 2026-10-14 a lawful full text was sought and none was reached, and in particular no Creative Commons or free edition was found, though Doctorow released several earlier books that way. His own site, craphound.com, lists the book among his non-fiction with no “Download For Free” link, where it gives one for older titles such as Context and Little Brother; its Enshittification category page has only tour and podcast posts. The publisher page (us.macmillan.com) returned HTTP 403. Two web searches for a CC licence or free download found none. OpenAlex: no DOI to look up, and its title search refused the request (the shared daily budget was exhausted). Unpaywall: no DOI to query. Crossref holds no record of the book; its one record with the title is a third-party ResearchHub upload of a MOBI file, an unauthorised repost, not used. Europe PMC: no hit. Internet Archive: only talks, podcasts and an audiobook promo, no text of the book. Its status is not a judgement on merit. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-754 v2 | Effects of reward on intrinsic motivation—Negative, neutral, and positive: Comment on Deci, Koestner, and Ryan (1999) | Eisenberger, Pierce & Cameron (1999), Psychological Bulletin 125(6):677–691, a comment on Deci, Koestner and Ryan’s meta-analysis. By Cameron, Banko and Pierce’s account it re-analyses the performance-contingent studies by reward procedure and by the kind of control group, and reports that reward contingencies raise perceived self-determination. Unread: closed at APA, no abstract reachable. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-05 from Crossref and PubMed records and from the account of it in Cameron, Banko and Pierce (2001, LIT-562), not read. The article is closed at APA (Psychological Bulletin); Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar list no open copy, and neither PubMed nor Crossref carries its abstract. The only web copy found is on ResearchGate (not used). The author’s University of Houston lab page, which may post it, answered with 503s and connection resets and was not reached. A reading would test the comparison THEORY-049’s refutation clause needs: performance-tied reward against a control given the same feedback. |
| LIT-755 v2 | A Process-Oriented Approach to Design Rationale | Conklin & Burgess Yakemovic (1991), Human–Computer Interaction 6(3–4):357–391. Rationale captured with little disruption of the design process: in an industrial field trial a low-tech indented-text IBIS recorded more than 2,300 requirements and design decisions. Unread. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-14 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex lists only the publisher DOI, closed; Unpaywall finds no open copy; the Taylor & Francis PDF (tandfonline.com) returned a 403 bot check; a web search for an author-posted copy found none, and Conklin’s CogNexus site posts no papers of this kind; Internet Archive Scholar was rate-limited and the fatcat API reset the connection.

| LIT-759 v3 | Why CSCW applications fail: problems in the design and evaluation of organizational interfaces | Grudin (1988), CSCW ‘88, pp. 85–93. Cooperative applications fail when those who must do additional work to support them are not those who benefit, when decision-makers’ intuitions about them fail, and because they are very hard to evaluate. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-06 from Crossref and secondary descriptions of its abstract, not read: the ACM Digital Library refused this client. Filed as the source of the argument that a cooperative application fails when those who must do the extra work are not those who benefit, the failure an argument-development scheme here would most likely meet. It stays Unavailable until somebody reads it, not on merit. |
| LIT-760 v3 | Design rationale systems: understanding the issues | Lee (1997), IEEE Expert 12(3):78–85. Most design rationale systems ignore practical concerns such as cost-effective use and smooth integration; seven technical and business issues, and their implications. Unread. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-14 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex lists the IEEE DOI, closed, and a CiteSeerX cache, which redirected to the Wayback Machine and failed, and which is a crawl cache rather than an author posting; Unpaywall finds no open copy; IEEE Xplore returned an empty bot-check response; the University of Colorado research profile marks the article closed; a web search found no author-posted copy, only Lee’s 1992 working papers on other topics. What the seven issues are, which CLAIM-179 cites it for, remains unknown here. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-761 v3 | Argumentation-based design rationale: what use at what cost? | Buckingham Shum & Hammond (1994), IJHCS 40(4):603–652. A review of the evidence on when constructing explicit design argumentation is productive, and of the cognitive, organizational and technological factors that bear on whether rationale systems are taken up. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-06 from Crossref and secondary descriptions, not read: the publisher’s page refused this client, and no abstract was available to it. Filed as the review that asks of argumentation-based rationale the question the owner is asking. It stays Unavailable until somebody reads it, not on merit. |
| LIT-763 v2 | Questions, Options, and Criteria: Elements of Design Space Analysis | MacLean, Young, Bellotti & Moran (1991), Human–Computer Interaction 6(3–4):201–250. QOC, a semiformal notation for the design space around an artifact, built alongside the design rather than as a record of the process; its payoff is stated as a goal, not shown. Unread. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-14 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex and Unpaywall find no open copy; the Taylor & Francis PDF returned a 403 bot check; the Design Space Analysis page of NAVER LABS Europe (successor to Xerox’s European research centre, where the work was done) describes the project but posts no paper; a web search found no author-posted copy; Internet Archive Scholar was rate-limited. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-765 v2 | Elements of Information Theory | Cover & Thomas (1991; 2nd ed. 2006), Wiley. The standard graduate textbook of information theory: entropy and mutual information, data compression, channel capacity, rate-distortion theory, network information theory, and their links to statistics, gambling and portfolio theory. Filed, not read; only the publisher’s table of contents and preview chapter were read. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref, not read: no lawful full text exists to reach. Wiley Online Library returned 403 to the book and chapter pages, OpenAlex lists it as closed, and the only free material is the publisher’s excerpts of the second edition (front matter with the table of contents, Chapter 1 “Introduction and Preview”, the index), which were read. A 12-page preview of a textbook whose main text runs to p. 687 is not a skim of the book, so no NOTE is filed. Filed from the reference list of the owner’s working manuscript. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-766 v2 | Le Ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language | Hofstadter (1997), Basic Books. A book-length meditation on translation, built around dozens of translations of Clément Marot’s short poem “A une Damoyselle malade”: translating is analogy-making under formal and semantic constraints, and no translation is neutral. Not read: no lawful full text was found. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text was found.

The rate- distortion function when the decoder, but not the encoder, sees correlated side information: a single-letter characterisation, with a rate loss relative to the case where both see it, zero in the Gaussian case. Filed, not read: no lawful full text was reached. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref, not read: no lawful full text was reached.

Filed from the reference list of the owner’s working manuscript. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-768 v3 | Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology | Bartlett (1932), Cambridge University Press. Remembering is reconstruction from schemata, not retrieval of traces, and it is in important ways social: retellings of an unfamiliar folk tale drift toward the teller’s own culture. Filed, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref and Open Library, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. Every Internet Archive copy is lending-only (access-restricted), the Wellcome Library scan of the 1932 edition included; HathiTrust holds three copies of the 1932 edition, all Limited (search-only); Cambridge Core sells the 1995 reissue chapter by chapter. A user upload to Internet Archive’s opensource collection was not used, since nothing shows it is lawful. No NOTE is filed. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-775 v3 | Structural Anthropology | Lévi-Strauss (1958; English 1963, Basic Books). Essays that carry the method of structural linguistics into anthropology: kinship, myth and social organisation analysed as systems of relations and oppositions, including “The Structural Study of Myth”. Not read: no lawful full text was found. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text was found. The English edition is lending-only at the Internet Archive and search-only at HathiTrust. One Internet Archive scan of the 1958 Plon edition is openly downloadable under a not-in-copyright flag that HathiTrust’s review of the same scan contradicts, so it was not used. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. No NOTE is filed. |
| LIT-778 v3 | Comparison of Statistical Experiments | Torgersen (1991), Cambridge University Press. The comprehensive treatment of comparing statistical experiments, from Wald, Blackwell and Le Cam: when one experiment is more informative than another, Le Cam’s deficiency as the measure of the difference, and its relations to sufficiency and randomisation. Not read: no lawful full text. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref and the publisher’s pages, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-780 v3 | Forms of Talk | Goffman (1981), University of Pennsylvania Press. Five essays on talk, including “Footing”: a speaker’s role decomposes into animator, author and principal, and hearers into ratified and unratified participants, so who is speaking is not one thing. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-784 v3 | Translation and Relevance: Cognition and Context | Gutt (1991; 2nd ed. 2000), St. Jerome. Translation as interlingual interpretive use under Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory: a translation resembles the original in the inferences it lets an audience draw, and direct translation preserves the original’s communicative clues. Not read: no lawful full text was found. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref and catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text of either edition was found. HathiTrust holds the 2000 edition search-only, the Internet Archive holds no scan of either edition, and Routledge sells the reissue. Gutt’s 1989 University of London thesis of the same title is listed as open access at UCL Discovery, but it is a different work and was not read as this one. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. No NOTE is filed. |
| LIT-785 v3 | How to Do Things with Words | Austin (1962), Clarendon Press. The William James Lectures that founded speech-act theory: some utterances do things rather than describe them, and every utterance has locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary aspects. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-789 v2 | Translation Quality Assessment: Past and Present | House (2015; e-book 2014), Routledge. House’s account of evaluating translations: her 1977 model and its 1997 revision, a test case, the cultural filter in the light of contrastive pragmatics, globalization, corpus and cognitive research, and a new integrative model. Evaluation is first analysis and explanation, then judgement. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref, the Library of Congress and the publisher’s description, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-791 v2 | Toward a Science of Translating: With Special Reference to Principles and Procedures Involved in Bible Translating | Nida (1964), E. J. Brill. A linguistic and communication-theoretic account of translating, built on Bible translation, whose chapter “Principles of Correspondence” sets formal equivalence (matching the message’s form and content) against dynamic equivalence (equivalent effect on the receptor). Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from Crossref, the Library of Congress and Open Library, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

| LIT-799 v2 | Discourse and the Translator | Hatim & Mason (1990), Longman. Translation analysed as communication in a social context: register, the pragmatic dimension (text as action) and the semiotic dimension (text as sign), with intertextuality, text type and text structure, and the translator as a mediator between cultures. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from the Library of Congress, Open Library, Crossref and the publisher’s page, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

The analysis of the Nazi state written from inside it: two states coexisted, a normative state that kept the legal order of statutes, courts and administration, and a prerogative state run by the party and bound by no legal guarantee. Unread: registered from the publisher’s abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-07 from Crossref and the publisher’s abstract for the 2017 Oxford reissue, not read: the reissue is paywalled at Oxford Academic and no lawful full text was sought further. Filed because the owner’s essay “The Organization of Will” cites it for the distinction between the normative state and the prerogative state, and for the point that whoever decides when the law applies holds the real authority. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-811 v2 | Assertion | Stalnaker (1978), in P. Cole (ed.), Pragmatics (Syntax and Semantics 9), Academic Press, 315–332.

Against the nineteenth-century view that disease is a quantitative deviation from a normal state, it argues that the normal is normative: health is an organism’s capacity to institute new norms in a changed environment, and disease a narrowed capacity to do so. Unread: registered from metadata and secondary accounts. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-07 from metadata and secondary accounts, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-14 and not reached. OpenAlex and Unpaywall report the English edition closed. SpringerLink (link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-94-009-9853-7) serves the front matter and the two section title pages free; the seventeen chapters are subscription content. The front matter was read: the table of contents (which confirms the chapter list in the body), the translators’ note (the translation follows the 1972 PUF edition) and Michel Foucault’s introduction (pp. ix–xx). Foucault’s introduction is an essay on Canguilhem as a philosopher of error and concept, not a summary of the book’s argument, so no NOTE is filed from it. It does not state what CLAIM-018 cites it for, health as a capacity to institute new norms. The French editions are in copyright, and no author-sanctioned copy was found.

| LIT-826 v2 | Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language | Searle (1969), Cambridge University Press. The systematic development of Austin’s speech-act theory around the hypothesis that speaking a language is engaging in rule-governed behaviour: illocutionary acts analysed by constitutive rules, with reference and predication treated as speech acts. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records and the publisher’s contents, not read: no lawful full text was reachable.

Good explanations in neuroscience describe mechanisms; a component is constitutively relevant to a mechanism’s behaviour when it is a part of the mechanism and the two are mutually manipulable, which is distinct from causal relevance between events; neuroscience is unified as a mosaic of constraints across levels, not by reduction. Unread: registered from metadata and reviews. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-07 from Crossref’s records (monograph and chapter list) and published reviews, not read: the book is paywalled at Oxford Academic. Filed because the owner’s essay “The Organization of Will” cites it for mechanistic explanation and for the difference between constitutive and causal relevance. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. Retried 2026-11-01: OpenAlex lists only the paywalled Oxford Academic record and a bookseller; web searches for an author copy, chapter preprints or a copy on Craver’s Washington University pages found none, so it remains unread. |
| LIT-840 v2 | Asymptotic Methods in Statistical Decision Theory | Le Cam (1986), Springer Series in Statistics, xxvi + 742 pp. Asymptotic statistics organised around Blackwell’s experiments, Wald’s decision theory and Le Cam’s deficiency distance between experiments, with approximation by Gaussian shift and exponential families as the central theme. Not read: no lawful full text; known here from its front matter. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-09 from catalogue records and the publisher’s free front matter, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. Springer sells the book and its chapters (OpenAlex: closed access, no repository copy); the Internet Archive copy is lending-only (access-restricted, printdisabled); HathiTrust holds it search-only.

| LIT-892 v3 | Quantum mechanics near closed timelike lines | Deutsch (1991), Phys. Rev. D 44, 3197. The standard model of quantum systems near closed timelike curves: the state on the loop must be a fixed point of the interaction, as a density matrix, and such a fixed point always exists. Not read: registered to ground the record’s contrast between causal-loop consistency and contextuality. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-10 from its Crossref record, not read: it is registered to ground one claim (CLAIM-141) on what it is standardly cited for, the density-matrix consistency condition for closed timelike curves. No NOTE is filed. It stays Unavailable until it is read, not on merit. Looked for on 2026-10-10: the publisher’s page (APS) refused the request, and the only full text found online is a scan of the journal article on a personal site (gwern.net) with no sign of the publisher’s permission, so it was not used. |
| LIT-893 v3 | Linear Representations of Finite Groups | Serre (1977), DOI-10.1007/978-1-4684-9458-7, Graduate Texts in Mathematics. The standard textbook statement that, over a field of characteristic zero, characters classify finite-dimensional representations of a finite group up to isomorphism, with complete reducibility and the orthogonality of irreducible characters. Registered unread, as the source a new claim names for results it checks by reasoning. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-10 from Crossref’s record, not read. Filed because a new claim grounds on it as the standard source for the classification of finite-group representations by characters; the results that claim uses were checked by reasoning, not against this book. It stays Unavailable until it is read, not on merit. Looked for on 2026-10-10: Springer sells it, and the only full text found online is an uploaded scan on a chat server with no sign of the publisher’s permission, so it was not used. |

Unexpected loading of the jaw during speech is compensated quickly by remote articulators, and which articulator compensates depends on the sound being produced (the lips for a bilabial, the tongue for a fricative). Compensation follows the task, not the wiring. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11 from Crossref metadata. APA’s copy is closed; a search for a Haskins Laboratories status-report version found none (the DTIC-hosted Haskins reports returned HTML, not PDFs). Filed as the classic demonstration of reciprocal compensation, the signature of a coordinative structure. A reading would confirm what is reported here from general knowledge and from a USC course page’s summary. |
| LIT-906 v3 | The effect of brief mindfulness training on momentary impulsivity | Dixon, Paliliunas, Belisle, Speelman, Gunnarsson & Shaffer (2019), Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science 11: 15–20. Twenty-three participants were randomised to a 5-minute mindful-breathing video or a music video. Monetary delay discounting decreased after the mindfulness video and did not change after the control. Small and brief. Unread beyond the abstract’s summary. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11 from Crossref metadata and the abstract as summarised on the Missouri State BearWorks record page. The article is closed. Filed as direct evidence on whether mindfulness changes discounting, which is the fork the record’s mindfulness claim turns on. |
| LIT-907 v2 | The Co-ordination and Regulation of Movements | Bernstein (1967), Pergamon. The English collection of Bernstein’s work on movement: the body has more degrees of freedom than any task needs, and coordination is the mastering of redundant degrees of freedom, by organizing components into synergies rather than controlling each one. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11. Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1967; no DOI. The Internet Archive holds a copy in its controlled-lending collection (access-restricted), and another upload there of unclear provenance was not used. Filed as the origin of the degrees-of-freedom problem and of the synergy, which the coordinative structure answers. |
| LIT-908 v2 | The Ghost in the Machine | Koestler (1967). Introduces the holon, a whole to its parts and a part to its whole, with a self-assertive and an integrative tendency, and the holarchy, a hierarchy of holons, drawing on Simon’s watchmaker parable. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11. Hutchinson, London, and Macmillan, New York, 1967; no DOI. The URL is the Internet Archive’s controlled-lending record of the Macmillan edition. Filed as the source of the holon, discussed the same day as a possible name for a combined form and set aside as naming a position rather than an achievement. |
| LIT-910 v3 | Effortless Attention: A New Perspective in the Cognitive Science of Attention and Action | Bruya (ed.) (2010), MIT Press. An edited collection arguing that attention and action can be at once highly focused and effortless, as in flow, against accounts that tie focus to effort. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11 from Crossref and publisher metadata (MIT Press, Bradford Books; Brian Bruya, editor; ISBN 9780262013840). The editor’s introduction is listed on PhilArchive and was not opened. A full PDF on a third-party site was seen in search results and not used. Filed because it is the collection that names effortless attention as a problem for effort-based accounts of control; reading the introduction would place it. |
| LIT-912 v2 | Neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the experience of flow | Dietrich (2004), Consciousness and Cognition 13: 746–761. Proposes that flow requires transient hypofrontality, a temporary suppression of the explicit system’s analytic and meta-conscious capacities, so a practised skill held by the implicit system runs without interference. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11 from Crossref metadata and secondary descriptions. Elsevier’s copy is closed; no author copy was looked for beyond one search. Filed because its hypothesis, that flow requires the explicit system to stand down, is the one neurocognitive account of flow that bears on the record’s claim. Reading it would place it. |

Theoretical Lines of Convergence | Kugler, Kelso & Turvey (1980), in Stelmach & Requin (eds.), Tutorials in Motor Behavior, pp. 3–47. Coordinative structures, the functional units that solve Bernstein’s degrees-of-freedom problem, are proposed to be dissipative structures, self-organizing under energy flow, rather than units assembled by a controller.

| LIT-914 v3 | The Concept of Flow | Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi (2002), chapter 7 of Snyder & Lopez (eds.), Handbook of Positive Psychology, pp. 89–105: the standard short statement of flow, the state of complete absorption in an activity that is done for its own sake. Unread; registered so the record’s claims about flow have a work to name. | Unavailable — unread, registered from Crossref metadata 2026-10-11. No lawful open copy was found: Oxford Academic’s chapter page is paywalled, and the only full copy a search turned up is an unofficial Scribd upload of the later 2009 chapter, which was not opened. Filed as the record’s anchor for flow, which it held nothing on. A reading of the chapter, or of Csikszentmihalyi (1990), would place it. |
| LIT-916 v3 | Brief Online Training in Mindfulness Meditation Momentarily Reduces Some Impulsive Behaviors: A Randomized Controlled Trial | Ge, Xie, Sun, Fan, Zhang & Liu (2024), Mindfulness 16: 448–464. An RCT with mindfulness, monitor and control groups, measuring impulsivity by Stroop, Go/No-Go and delay discounting. As summarised: some impulsive behaviours reduced momentarily, discounting not significantly improved relative to the comparison groups, and no effect sustained at follow-up. Unread. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-11 from Crossref metadata and a search-result summary of the abstract. Springer’s page redirected to a login and the abstract was not read directly. Filed beside Dixon et al. (2019) because, as summarised, it dissociates the two: some impulsive behaviour reduced, delay discounting not improved. |

The diffusion- limited aggregation model: particles random-walk in one at a time and stick on contact, building a branched, fractal cluster. It is the minimal model of growth that branches because tips screen the interior. Not read. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-11 from its Crossref record, not read.

| LIT-926 v3 | The two-step mechanism of nucleation of crystals in solution | Vekilov (2010), Nanoscale 2, 2346. The two-step mechanism: crystals nucleate inside metastable clusters of dense liquid, which form first, rather than directly from the solution. Proposed for proteins and small molecules, to explain nucleation rates far below the classical prediction. Not read. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-11 from its Crossref record, not read.

| LIT-928 v3 | Sparse Distributed Memory | Kanerva (1988), MIT Press. An associative memory in a high-dimensional binary space, addressed by content: a pattern is written to every hard location within a radius of its address and read back from the locations within that radius of a cue. Iterated reads converge on a stored pattern only from cues within a critical distance of it. Also held in the anthology as ANTH-LIT-666. Not read here. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-14 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. The book has no DOI; the MIT Press page and MIT Press Direct returned Cloudflare 403 checks, and no open-access edition was found; the Internet Archive has no scan of the book; NASA’s Technical Reports Server holds Kanerva’s public-domain RIACS and Stanford reports on SDM, which are different works (LIT-921 is one of them). What the book says about cues beyond the critical distance, which CLAIM-180 leans on, is therefore still unchecked here. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-930 v3 | Will a Large Complex System be Stable? | May (1972), Nature 238, 413. A large system of n components with randomly signed interactions of strength s and connectance C is almost surely stable when s√(nC) < 1 and unstable when it exceeds 1, with a sharp transition: past a point, more components or more connections destabilize. It challenged the view that diversity brings stability. Not read. | Unavailable — looked for a lawful full text on 2026-10-14 and found none, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed.

| LIT-959 v2 | A circuit-based framework for depression: Reshaping the pathological attractor | Yuan et al. (2026). The review conceptualizes major depressive disorder as a pathological attractor, a stable, self-reinforcing network configuration kept in place by maladaptive plasticity. It argues that the depressive state comes from a hierarchical failure of top-down prefrontal control, which lets subcortical hubs stabilize and drive anhedonia and motivational deficits. It recasts treatment as reshaping the brain’s functional landscape, with rapid-acting drugs and neuromodulation steering trajectories to adaptive states.

| LIT-967 v2 | Evidence for the representation of non-hierarchical structures in language | Nielsen et al. (2026). The paper argues that language is represented partly through linear chunks akin to part-of-speech sequences, not only through hierarchical constituents. Four preregistered phrasal decision experiments (N = 497) show such linear structures can be primed without constituents. Corpus analyses of eye-tracked reading and conversation support the effect outside the lab.

| LIT-992 v2 | How the conception of control influences our understanding of actions | Floegel et al. (2023). The Perspective contrasts two ways of modelling human motor control. Plant control treats neural computation as generating commands that move the musculoskeletal plant into a desired state. Perceptual control treats movement as emerging in a coupled agent–environment system from the pursuit of perceptual goals. The paper argues that the choice of perspective shapes how empirical data are modelled and so how actions are understood.

A collection of essays on the nature and ethics of manipulation: what distinguishes it from rational persuasion and from coercion, whether it must bypass reason or can work through it, when it is wrong and why, and how it shows up in advertising, politics, medicine and personal relationships.

| LIT-1004 v3 | Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing | Fricker (2007). Names two kinds of wrong done to someone in her capacity as a knower. Testimonial injustice: a hearer gives a speaker a prejudicially deflated degree of credibility. Hermeneutical injustice: someone is handicapped in making sense of a social experience by a gap in collective understanding that is owed to the relative powerlessness of a social group she belongs to. Proposes testimonial and hermeneutical justice as corrective virtues of the hearer, each at once intellectual and ethical. Checked against the author’s précis (2008), not the book. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-12 and read only in part: not the book but the author’s own three-page précis of it (Theoria 23(1), 2008, pp. 69–71, DOI 10.1387/theoria.7, open access under CC BY-NC-ND), read in full in NOTE-832 (Skimmed).

Oxford Academic (academic.oup.com/book/32817, reached through the DOI) returned a bot check (403). PhilPapers returned 403, and no author-posted chapter was found. A full PDF on a Brazilian court library’s repository (bdjur.stj.jus.br) carries the publisher’s copyright notices and no sign of permission, so it was not used. The book’s cases and arguments are therefore known here only as the précis states them.

| LIT-1005 v2 | Social Cognitive Theory: An Agentic Perspective | Bandura (2001). Social cognitive theory’s account of people as agents of their own functioning, not only products of their circumstances. The core features of agency are intentionality, forethought, self- reactiveness and self-reflectiveness, and beliefs of self-efficacy are the foundation of it. Distinguishes three modes: direct personal agency, proxy agency through others who act on one’s behalf, and collective agency through shared beliefs in a group’s efficacy.

| LIT-1006 v3 | Living without Free Will | Pereboom (2001). Defends hard incompatibilism. Moral responsibility in the basic-desert sense is incompatible with determinism and with the indeterminacy of standard quantum mechanics. Agent-causal libertarianism may be coherent and would secure it, but we have no evidence for the indeterminacy it needs, so we have no evidence that we are morally responsible. Frankfurt-style cases defeat alternative-possibilities conditions but not the core incompatibilist condition on an action’s causal history. Chapter 4’s four-case argument holds that determination threatens responsibility no less than covert manipulation does. The cases themselves are as standardly reported (an agent manipulated by neuroscientists, through programming and upbringing, to ordinary determinism) and were not read here. The record meets the argument secondhand (LIT-294, LIT-684, LIT-691). Read in part: the Introduction and Chapter 1 pp. 1–10. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-12 and read only in part: the Introduction (pp. xiii–xxiii) and Chapter 1 pp. 1–10, from the front matter and excerpt that Cambridge University Press publishes for the book (assets.cambridge.org), read in full in NOTE-823 (Skimmed). The rest was sought on 2026-10-14 and not reached. OpenAlex and Unpaywall report it closed; the Cambridge Core book page (reached through the DOI) offers the chapters only behind an access check; no author-posted draft was found; the full copies found are on file-sharing sites and were not opened. The four-case argument (Chapter 4) is therefore not read here, and THEORY-040’s call for a first-hand reading of it is not met. It stays Unavailable until a full copy is supplied (ADR-041): the search for one is recorded, and only the publisher’s samples were read. THEORY-316 is filed from Chapter 1’s opening. |
| LIT-1010 v2 | Relational Autonomy: Feminist Perspectives on Autonomy, Agency, and the Social Self | Mackenzie and Stoljar, eds. (2000). The collection that gave “relational autonomy” its name: an umbrella for views on which persons are socially embedded, and their identities and capacities for self-government are formed by social relations. The essays take up the feminist charge that standard conceptions of autonomy are individualistic, and ask whether oppressive socialisation undermines autonomy. They divide over whether an account should be procedural or must make substantive normative demands.

| LIT-1040 | Linguistic Communication and Speech Acts | Bach and Harnish (1979), MIT Press. A theory of speech acts built on Grice’s speaker meaning and Strawson’s distinction between communicative and conventional illocutions: the hearer infers the speaker’s communicative intention from what is said and mutually held beliefs about the context. Not read: no lawful full text was reachable. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-13 from catalogue records, not read: no lawful full text was reachable. The Internet Archive holds the 1979 and 1982 MIT Press printings only as controlled-lending items (access-restricted), and MIT Press offers no open access. No NOTE is filed. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied: a lawful copy exists, as lending items, but this client could not borrow it (ADR-041). The last of the four works that CLAIM-221 and QUESTION-073 name as missing. |
| LIT-1041 | Logic and Conversation | Grice (1975), in Cole and Morgan (eds.), Syntax and Semantics 3: Speech Acts, pp. 41–58. What a speaker implicates is separated from what is said, and conversational implicatures are derived from a Cooperative Principle and the maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation and Manner. Read here only at pp. 45–47, where the principle and maxims are stated. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-13 and read only in part: pp. 45–47, the Cooperative Principle and the maxims, from an excerpt on a Simon Fraser University course page (NOTE-734, Skimmed). The rest of the chapter, pp. 41–44 and 47–58, was not reachable from a lawful source: the other copies found are Scribd and PDF-aggregator uploads and a course-licensed reprint on a non-university site. The definition of conversational implicature, its tests and the worked examples are therefore not read here. It stays Unavailable until a full copy is supplied (ADR-041): the search for one is recorded, and only an excerpt was read. The third of the four works that CLAIM-221 and QUESTION-073 name as missing. |
| LIT-1060 | Cognition in the Wild | Hutchins (1995), MIT Press. A study of navigation aboard a ship, arguing that cognitive processes are distributed across people, artifacts and their organization, and that the unit of analysis is the functional system. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-15, not read. Registered from the exchange of 2026-10-14 on prompting, epistemic memory and retrieval (the workbench entry of 2026-10-15). No NOTE is filed, and it stays Unavailable until it is read, not on merit. Looked for a lawful full text on 2026-10-15 and found none. Unpaywall and OpenAlex report it open access (green) on the strength of a single repository record at the University of Ljubljana (repozitorij.uni-lj.si/IzpisGradiva.php?id=44611, no PDF URL given); that record returns HTTP 410 with “Gradivo ne obstaja” (the item does not exist), and the Internet Archive has no capture of it, so the OA flag is stale. OpenAlex marks the MIT Press location itself as not open access, Crossref carries no licence for the DOI, and Semantic Scholar reports it closed. MIT Press Direct (direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/4604/Cognition-in-the-Wild, reached through the DOI) and the MIT Press catalogue page both returned 403 behind a Cloudflare challenge, the Internet Archive holds no capture of either, and a web search found only paid editions and library records and no sign that MIT Press has made the title open access. Hutchins’s own UCSD site (pages.ucsd.edu/~ehutchins/citw.html) posts the book’s Introduction in full (about 3,000 words: how the study began, the critique of an ideational, inside-the-head view of culture and cognition, and a chapter-by-chapter outline), but nothing else from the book. hci.ucsd.edu/hutchins/ is a JavaScript shell with no documents. No shadow library, Internet Archive lending copy or third-party upload was used. The Introduction states the move the record cites it for. It does not argue for it. It says Hutchins will “move the boundaries of the cognitive unit of analysis out beyond the skin of the individual person and treat the navigation team as a cognitive and computational system”, that “local functional systems composed of a person in interaction with a tool have cognitive properties that are radically different from the cognitive properties of the person alone” (chapter 3), and that “Depending on their organization, groups must have cognitive properties that are not predictable from a knowledge of the properties of the individuals in the group” (chapter 4 takes the team as a whole). Hutchins’s “How a cockpit remembers its speeds” (Cognitive Science 19(3), 1995, pp. 265–288, DOI 10.1207/s15516709cog1903_1) has lawful copies: the author posts the typeset article (pages.ucsd.edu/~ehutchins/documents/CockpitSpeeds.pdf, 24 pp., fetched 2026-10-15), and Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar list Wiley’s free publisher PDF (bronze; onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1207/s15516709cog1903_1, which returned 403 to this environment). It is not registered, and it is the reading available now for QUESTION-101. |
| LIT-1065 | The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception | Gibson (1979). The ecological account of perception, in which an affordance is a possibility for action that an environment offers an animal, relative to the animal’s capacities. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-15, not read. Registered from the exchange of 2026-10-14 on prompting, epistemic memory and retrieval (the workbench entry of 2026-10-15). No NOTE is filed, and it stays Unavailable until it is read, not on merit. Looked for a lawful full text of the book, or of Chapter 8 (“The Theory of Affordances”, p. 119 in the classic edition) alone, on 2026-10-15 and found none. Unpaywall and OpenAlex report the 2015 Psychology Press classic edition (10.4324/9781315740218) closed, with no open-access location and no repository full text, and Semantic Scholar gives no openAccessPdf; the publisher’s page (taylorfrancis.com) refused requests from this environment (HTTP 403) and the book is sold, not open access. The 1986 Lawrence Erlbaum edition (10.4324/9780203767764) and the chapter’s reprint in The People, Place, and Space Reader (Routledge 2014, 10.4324/9781315816852-11) are also closed in Unpaywall and OpenAlex. Crossref lists no chapter-level DOI for the classic edition. Web searches found no author-, estate- or publisher-posted copy and no open-access anthology reprint. A scan of part of Chapter 8 was posted on a University of Oslo course page (IN3220, spring 2021, uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/ifi/IN3220/v21/gibson_james_j_1977_1979_the_theory_of_affordances.pdf); it now returns 404 and the course page is unpublished, and a course’s scan of a publisher’s chapter is not the author’s copy, so it was not used. A full PDF of the classic edition on a university library server (library.uniq.edu.iq) is named as a z-lib download and was not used. Secondary summaries (a book report from HVL’s NaChiLit group) were not treated as a reading. None found. |
| LIT-1078 | Hypothesis-Consistent Testing and Semantic Priming in the Anchoring Paradigm: A Selective Accessibility Model | Mussweiler and Strack (1999), JESP 35(2). States the selective accessibility model of anchoring: considering an anchor triggers hypothesis-consistent testing, which makes anchor-consistent knowledge accessible for the later judgement, with experiments on the mechanism. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-15, not read. Registered from the exchange of 2026-10-14 on prompting, epistemic memory and retrieval (the workbench entry of 2026-10-15). No NOTE is filed, and it stays Unavailable until it is read, not on merit. Looked for a lawful full text on 2026-10-15 and found none that could be fetched: Unpaywall reports it closed (no open-access location, no repository copy) and OpenAlex likewise (closed, no repository full text); the Semantic Scholar API gives no openAccessPdf (status CLOSED, abstract elided by the publisher); Crossref lists only Elsevier text-mining links (api.elsevier.com, PII S0022103198913646) under Elsevier’s TDM user licence, which refused an unkeyed request, and ScienceDirect refused direct requests from this environment (403), so whether the article sits in Elsevier’s open archive could not be checked there, though Unpaywall and OpenAlex, which track that archive, record no free copy; London Business School Research Online, Mussweiler’s institutional repository, holds other anchoring papers of his (eprint 620, “Anchoring: accessibility as a cause of judgmental assimilation”) but not this one, and the London Business School publication page for it returns 404, with its Internet Archive capture (2023-09-26) unreachable from this environment; web searches found no copy on Mussweiler’s or Strack’s institutional pages (London, Cologne, Würzburg), no course-hosted copy and no preprint. A ResearchGate entry (publication 253136010) advertises a full text, but ResearchGate refused the request (403) and who uploaded it could not be confirmed, so it was not used. The 1997 companion paper (LIT-1064) and the later “Comparing is believing” review (European Review of Social Psychology 10, 1999) are different works. |
| LIT-1101 | Effective Page Refresh Policies for Web Crawlers | Cho and Garcia-Molina (2003), ACM TODS 2003. Unavailable: a lawful copy exists but could not be fetched. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-15, not read. Looked for a lawful full text of the journal version (ACM TODS 28(4), 2003) on 2026-10-15 and found one that could not be fetched. The authors’ own copy is listed at oak.cs.ucla.edu/~cho/papers/cho-tods03.pdf (a web search returns it with the title “Effective Page Refresh Policies For Web Crawlers”), but that server did not answer from this environment: nine requests over about seven minutes each returned 503 with an upstream connection timeout, and WebFetch got the same; the author’s index page there, and the old Stanford address infolab.stanford.edu/~cho/ (which redirects to it), behaved the same, and web.cs.ucla.edu/~cho/papers/cho-tods03.pdf is 404. The ACM Digital Library returned 403. Unpaywall and Semantic Scholar report it closed; OpenAlex reports it closed and lists two CiteSeerX records (10.1.1.3.7723, 10.1.1.89.8050), which could not be reached (connection reset, then a redirect to the Internet Archive, which is unreachable from here). ResearchGate’s page returned 403, and who uploaded its copy is unknown. Stanford’s InfoLab technical-report server (ilpubs.stanford.edu:8090) timed out. The University of Crete course page holds slides about the paper, not the paper. What is lawfully available is the other version: the SIGMOD 2000 conference paper (LIT-1119, read), and the authors’ October 1999 Stanford technical report of it on a KTH course page, which lacks what the journal adds (by its abstract and secondary accounts, among other things, refresh weighted by page importance). Found but could not be fetched. |
| LIT-1121 v2 | Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide | Jenkins (2006). Media convergence as a cultural shift in which content flows across platforms and audiences take part in making and circulating it, not only a technological one. | Unavailable — Searched 2026-10-20 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Crossref gives no licence or full-text link for the NYU Press Scholarship Online DOI; its host, De Gruyter Brill, answered with an empty bot-check page (HTTP 202); the Internet Archive holds the 2006 and 2008 printings (isbn_9780814742815, convergencecultu0000unse) only as controlled lending (printdisabled); an upload of the Spanish translation carrying a CC BY-ND label is not the publisher’s and was not used.

| LIT-1127 v2 | Aggregation of Variables in Dynamic Systems | Simon (1961). In nearly decomposable linear systems, short-run dynamics are governed within subsystems and long-run dynamics by interactions among their aggregates, which justifies aggregating variables over the long run. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-16, not read.

| LIT-1141 v2 | Identity Trajectories: Explaining Long-Term Patterns of Continuity and Change in Organizational Identities | Cloutier (2020). In four nonprofits followed over the long term, identity claims about ends shape continuity and change more than claims about means. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-29 for a lawful full text and none was reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. OpenAlex reports it closed with no repository copy; Semantic Scholar lists no open PDF; the publisher’s page at journals.aom.org returned 403 to curl; standard and extended web searches for the title with the authors’ names found no preprint, accepted manuscript or author copy, only the publisher’s page and citing works. UCL Discovery (Ravasi’s institution) refused its search to this client (403), so a deposit there is not ruled out; HEC Montréal’s repository (Cloutier’s) was not searched.

| LIT-1161 | On Lipschitz embedding of finite metric spaces in Hilbert space | Bourgain (1985), Israel Journal of Mathematics 52(1–2): 46–52. Every n-point metric space embeds in Hilbert space with distortion O(log n), by a random construction. Unread; known through Linial, London and Rabinovich. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-16. A lawful copy was sought and not reached: OpenAlex lists only the closed Springer version, and web searches found no author-posted or course-hosted copy.

Carries transfer entropy from coarse-grained states to continuous-valued processes and discusses its estimation. Unread; known through Barnett, Barrett and Seth, who cite it for the conditional transfer entropy, for the failure of partition estimators to converge, for the assumptions hidden in kernel and nearest-neighbour estimators, for the invariance of information quantities under nonlinear transformations, and for a Gaussian formula (its Eq. 19). | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-17.

| LIT-1169 | Measurement of Linear Dependence and Feedback between Multiple Time Series | Geweke (1982), Journal of the American Statistical Association 77(378): 304–313. Measures the linear dependence between two multivariate time series as the sum of three parts: feedback from the first to the second, feedback from the second to the first, and instantaneous feedback. The directed measures are log ratios of generalized variances (determinants of residual covariance matrices), have asymptotic χ² null distributions, and decompose additively by frequency. Unread; known through Barnett, Barrett and Seth and the abstract. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-16. A lawful copy was sought and not reached: OpenAlex marks it closed with no repository full text, Crossref lists only the Taylor & Francis and JSTOR copies, and web searches found no author-posted or course-hosted copy.

| LIT-1173 | Investigating Causal Relations by Econometric Models and Cross-spectral Methods | Granger (1969), Econometrica 37(3): 424–438. Proposes testable definitions of causality and feedback between stationary time series: Y causes X if the past of Y improves the prediction of X beyond what the other relevant past information gives. Shows the cross spectrum can be decomposed into two parts, one for each causal arm of a feedback loop. Unread; known through the works that restate it. | Unavailable — unread, registered 2026-10-16.

| LIT-1186 v2 | Assessing correspondence between subjective reports and visual targets during attempted out-of-body experiences | Weiler, Abraham, Acunzo & Hermansson (2026), from the abstract and press coverage only. Twenty-one people affiliated with an OBE-training institute tried to perceive a target picture, drawn from a standardized database and unknown to participants and researchers, displayed in a separate, inaccessible room. Ten reported an OBE; thirteen gave descriptions. Each description and the target captions were embedded with a pretrained language model, and the correct target’s cosine similarity was ranked against 100 candidates per trial (primary analysis; z-scores secondary). No trial and no combined rank test exceeded chance. Controls showed the pipeline finds targets when semantic correspondence is present, but, the authors say, not that it is sensitive to naturalistic human language. Two participants spontaneously reported accurate details of the experimenters’ locations and activities in an adjacent room, which were not predefined outcomes. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-16 from the PubMed abstract (42617381); no lawful full text was reached on 2026-10-16, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed.

A failure of availability, not merely of access, except for OSF, which should be rechecked. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. Registered at the owner’s request (U9 of the exchange of 2026-10-16 on active inference). OSF was retried on 2026-10-17 and was down for scheduled maintenance, so a preregistration there is still unchecked. |

There is no single true morality, but there can be several true moralities, each answering the same problem of how to live well together under a common core of human values; pluralistic relativism sits between universalism and “anything goes”. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18, not read.

OpenAlex reports the book closed, with the Oxford Academic DOI as its only location; the publisher offers it only to subscribers, and web searches found only catalogue, review and paid e-book listings, and no author or repository copy. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-1219 v2 | Mechanisms of Maintenance of Species Diversity | Chesson (2000). Stable coexistence is measured by the long-term rate of recovery from low density, and coexistence mechanisms work in two ways: equalizing, by shrinking average fitness differences, and stabilizing, by making intraspecific competition stronger than interspecific; stabilizing mechanisms are necessary. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18 from the exchange of 2026-10-17, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-29 and not reached. OpenAlex reports it closed with the Annual Reviews DOI as its only location; Semantic Scholar reports no open copy; Europe PMC has no record. The Annual Reviews PDF returned a 403 challenge, and it is not open access. Searches for a copy on Chesson’s pages found none: the University of Arizona experts page lists the citation only, and the old eebweb.arizona.edu faculty pages reset the connection, with no Wayback snapshot of a reprint.

Letten, Ke and Fukami (LIT-1237, read in full) restate its stabilizing and equalizing terms and the coexistence inequality ρ < f₂/f₁ < 1/ρ in Lotka–Volterra form. No NOTE is filed. |
| LIT-1221 v2 | Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: A Cognitive Behavioral Approach to Parasuicide | Linehan (1987). Introduces Dialectical Behavior Therapy for chronically parasuicidal individuals, on a biosocial theory that treats parasuicide as problem-solving behavior for psychic distress, maintained by low distress tolerance and environments that reinforce it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18, not read.

| LIT-1222 v2 | A Difficulty in the Concept of Social Welfare | Arrow (1950). No rule that turns every profile of individual orderings into a social ordering can satisfy unrestricted domain, the Pareto condition, independence of irrelevant alternatives and non-dictatorship together: the impossibility theorem. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18, not read.

| LIT-1227 v2 | The Limits of the Self: Immunology and Biological Identity | Pradeu (2012). The immunological theory that an individual is defined by self and nonself fails, since immune responses to self and tolerance of foreign entities are the rule; Pradeu proposes a criterion of immunogenicity by discontinuity, and from it an immunological account of biological individuality. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-29 and not reached. OpenAlex reports the book closed. The HAL record it lists, hal-01343696, is a notice with no file deposited (HAL API, 2026-10-29); its other location is an institutional e-book handle that needs a licence. Oxford Academic offers it only to subscribers, and web searches found reviews, paid e-books and Pradeu’s earlier papers, not the book. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-1229 v2 | Autonomous Agents: From Self-Control to Autonomy | Mele (1995). Self-control is the contrary of akrasia, and even an ideally self-controlled agent falls short of autonomy; the book adds a history-sensitive account of control for compatibilists and a causal openness without agent causation for libertarians, and defends “agnostic autonomism”, the disjunction of the two. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-18, not read.

A title search found no author-posted copy; the nearest was a CFD Online forum thread of readers asking each other for it. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. No NOTE is filed. |
| LIT-1252 v2 | Locality of turbulent cascades | Eyink (2005). Treats locality of forward and inverse cascades, in three- and two-dimensional turbulence, in one coarse-graining framework, so that locality of transfer and its direction are separate properties. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-19, not read. On 2026-10-20 a search for a lawful full text reached none. ScienceDirect returned a 403 bot-check page, and Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar report it closed with no repository copy. Eyink’s Johns Hopkins pages (ams.jhu.edu/~eyink/, including publications.html), where he posts many of his papers, returned a Cloudflare block to both clients tried, and the Internet Archive refused the connection when tried for an archived copy of them. So whether Eyink posts this paper is unknown: the failure there is on access, not availability. An arXiv search of Eyink’s papers found no preprint of it, only later companions (Eyink & Aluie 2009, arXiv:0909.2386 and 0909.2451). A title search found only a ResearchGate record and citing papers. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. No NOTE is filed. |

| LIT-1285 | What’s Wrong with Copying? | Drassinower (2015). Not read. Copyright is reconstructed from inside its doctrine, not from incentives: a work is a communicative act, and infringement is the unauthorized appropriation of another’s speech. The author’s rights reach only communicative uses consistent with others’ rights to respond, so copying needed to answer a work is lawful. | Unavailable — Searched 2026-10-20 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Crossref gives no licence for the DOI, only a De Gruyter Brill text-mining link; De Gruyter Brill answered the DOI page with an empty bot-check response (HTTP 202), and so did the Harvard University Press page for ISBN 9780674743977. Web searches for an open-access edition, a University of Toronto (TSpace) or SSRN deposit of the book, or a CC-licensed copy found none; one library record lists the e-book as licensed to selected US libraries only.

| LIT-1287 v2 | A Maximum-Likelihood Interpretation for Slow Feature Analysis | Turner & Sahani (Neural Computation 2007). Gives a probabilistic model for which, in a limiting case, inference and learning “yield exactly the results of SFA”, in the way that independent component analysis has a maximum-likelihood reading, and uses the model to motivate several extensions of the algorithm. Not read; this summary is from the abstract. The model’s form and the limit taken are not checked here. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-20, not read. A search on 2026-10-20 for a lawful full text reached none.

Sahani’s Gatsby publication pages (~maneesh/papers/ and researchli2.html) list it with a DOI link only, no file. The Cambridge Machine Learning Group’s publications page (mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/publications/) gives the abstract and links Turner’s old Gatsby page (gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/~turner/Publications/turner-and-sahani-2007a.html), which returns 404, as do the PDF at the same path and the guessed Cambridge paths (cbl.eng.cam.ac.uk and learning.eng.cam.ac.uk under /Public/Turner/, mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/pub/pdf/TurSah07.pdf and variants). OpenAlex lists two repository records with no full text flagged: UCL Discovery (eprint 134626), which returned a Cloudflare bot check (403), and publications.eng.cam.ac.uk/526467, whose host no longer resolves. CiteSeerX (10.1.1.109.4162) reset the connection on four tries and returned 503 once, so whether it holds a cached author copy is unknown. The Wayback Machine reset the connection or returned 429, and the fetch tool cannot reach it. Semantic Scholar returned 429. Title searches found no author-posted copy. So this is a failure on access as much as on availability: a cached copy may exist at CiteSeerX or in the Wayback Machine’s capture of Turner’s Gatsby page.

From more than 100 interviews, a history of sampling and of the US lawsuits and licensing practice that now govern it. The clearance system is argued to be inefficient and to limit creativity: at estimated present-day fees, two golden-age albums (Paul’s Boutique, Fear of a Black Planet) could not be released commercially. Reforms are surveyed, including a reverse liability rule. | Unavailable — Searched 2026-10-20 for a lawful full text, none reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed.

| LIT-1294 | Near-Decomposability, Partition and Aggregation, and the Relevance of Stability Discussions | Ando & Fisher (International Economic Review 1963). The sequel to Simon & Ando (1961), standardly cited as giving the proofs of the near-decomposability theorems: in a linear dynamic system whose matrix is nearly block-diagonal, the short run is governed within blocks and the long run by the blocks’ aggregates. It also asks when stability analysis of the decomposed parts is relevant to the whole. Not read; this summary is from the title and how the paper is cited. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-20, not read. A search on 2026-10-20 for a lawful full text reached none. JSTOR (stable 2525455, the DOI’s landing) returned a “Client Challenge” bot-check page instead of the article. Crossref names JSTOR as the publisher and lists no full-text link. OpenAlex, Unpaywall and Semantic Scholar all report it closed with no repository copy. The 1963 book that reprints it, Ando, Fisher and Simon, Essays on the Structure of Social Science Models (MIT Press), is on the Internet Archive in two scans (essaysonstructur0000ando, essaysonstructur0000unse), both access-restricted lending-only items; Google Books shows it with no pages viewable; the MIT Press page returned 403 to this client. No Cowles Foundation discussion paper was found for it: web searches of the Cowles series on Yale’s EliScholar turned up nothing by Ando and Fisher on near-decomposability, and EliScholar’s own search returned 403. CORE returned 429 and BASE a bot check. Title searches, with and without filetype:pdf, found no author-posted copy. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, by library access or the book.

| LIT-1308 | Folk concepts of person and identity: A response to Nichols and Bruno | Berniūnas & Dranseika (2016), Philosophical Psychology 29:96–122, from the abstract only. A reply to Nichols & Bruno (2010). The authors argue that in transformation cases the folk do not use one concept of personal identity but separate concepts of “person”, “identity” and “individual”, so that identity can be ascribed to a post-transformation individual no longer categorized as a person. They report new survey evidence that the folk do not treat psychological continuity as necessary either for being categorized as a person or for identity over time, reading identity judgements off the use of proper names, as Nichols & Bruno did. They doubt current designs can tell qualitative from numerical identity judgements, and conclude for scepticism about folk intuitions in theorizing about personal identity. Samples, vignettes and effect sizes are not known here. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21 from the abstract only; no lawful full text was reached on 2026-10-21, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Where the reader looked: OpenAlex and Unpaywall (both “closed”, no repository copy); Semantic Scholar (openAccessPdf “CLOSED”); Europe PMC (no record); tandfonline.com (403 to this client, and paywalled); PhilPapers and PhilArchive (record BERFCO, 403 to this client, so whether PhilArchive holds an archived copy is unsettled); PhilPeople profiles of both authors (403); the second author’s personal site, www.dranseika.lt, linked from his Jagiellonian University (INCET) staff page (the publications page lists the paper with no link to a copy); the INCET staff page itself (no copy); the Lituanistika database record (content/101037: abstract and keywords, no file); web and Google Scholar searches for a PDF, a preprint or an accepted manuscript in the Vilnius University repository (none found; Scholar returned no version of the paper itself). ResearchGate was not relied on. A failure of access for PhilArchive, which should be rechecked from a client it does not refuse, and of availability elsewhere. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-1311 v2 | Relational Knowing and Epistemic Injustice: Toward a Theory of Willful Hermeneutical Ignorance | Pohlhaus (2012). Distinguishes two senses in which the knower is social, situated and interdependent, and shows how together they produce willful hermeneutical ignorance, a kind of epistemic injustice absent from Fricker’s account: dominantly situated knowers refuse to acknowledge epistemic tools developed from the experience of those situated marginally, and so misunderstand what those tools reveal. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21; a lawful full text was sought the same day and none was reached. Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar list it as closed; Cambridge Core, which now holds Hypatia, redirects the article and its PDF link to the paywalled abstract; web searches for an author-posted, repository or course copy found only syllabi that assign it (University of Victoria) and citations; CORE refused the query (rate limit) and PhilPapers returned a bot check. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. Kay, Kasirzadeh and Mohamed (NOTE-1049) restate its term secondhand, which is not a reading. |
| LIT-1317 v2 | Commensuration as a Social Process | Espeland & Stevens (1998). Defines commensuration as the comparison of different entities by a common metric, treats it as a general social process and a mode of power rather than a technical step, and discusses what is at stake, cognitively and politically, in calling something incommensurable. | Unavailable — sought 2026-10-21 and no lawful full text reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Unpaywall and OpenAlex report it closed, with no repository location; Semantic Scholar’s openAccessPdf is empty; CORE holds a metadata record with no full text. The Annual Reviews article page and PDF (annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.soc.24.1.313) returned 403 to curl and to the WebFetch tool, so whether the publisher offers it free is unknown. A web search found no author-posted copy. Its account of commensuration is summarized secondhand in Espeland and Sauder (2007), read as NOTE-1050, which cites it for that concept; that is not a reading of it. Failed on access as much as on availability: a reader with library access can clear it. |
| LIT-1320 v2 | Algorithmic Empowerment: The Fair Allocation of Visibility in Platformized Publics | Kwok (2026). Platforms do not distort a neutral flow of communication but produce and allocate visibility, the institutionally produced probability that a communicative act reaches an audience; the Algorithmic Empowerment Principle holds that platforms with gatekeeping power owe structurally disadvantaged groups a fair opportunity for epistemic participation, with duties of epistemic redress in ranking design and visibility audits. | Unavailable — sought 2026-10-21 and no lawful full text reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar report it closed; Crossref lists SAGE’s text-mining licence only, with no open-access licence, and carries the abstract, which agrees with the summary. The SAGE article page and PDF (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/29777984261494012) returned 403 to curl and to the WebFetch tool. A web search for the title found no preprint or author copy. Online first ten days before this search, so a repository copy may appear. |
| LIT-1321 v2 | Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed | Scott (1998). States make societies legible by simplifying them into standardized, administrable forms (surnames, cadastral maps, planned cities and forests); joined to high-modernist ideology, authoritarian power and a weak civil society, these simplifications override the practical local knowledge (mētis) that working arrangements depend on, and large schemes fail. | Unavailable — sought 2026-10-21 and no lawful full text reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. The book is in copyright (Yale University Press, 1998). OpenAlex lists it closed, with only the three doi.org locations (10.12987/9780300128789, 10.12987/9780300252989, 10.2307/j.ctvxkn7ds) and no repository copy; Unpaywall reports it closed; Semantic Scholar has no record of the DOI. The Internet Archive holds two scans (seeinglikestateh00scot_0, seeinglikestate00jame) in its controlled-lending and print-disabled collections, access-restricted and not openly downloadable, so not a fetch open to this client. Two other Internet Archive items under the title are user uploads, an audiobook and a text marked public domain, which the book is not, and were not used. A supplied copy, a library loan or the Yale e-book returns it to reading. |
| LIT-1324 v2 | The Theory of Economic Regulation | Stigler (1971). Regulation is, as a rule, acquired by an industry and designed and operated primarily for its benefit; the state’s coercive power is a resource that small, concentrated interests can buy through the political process more cheaply than large, diffuse ones can resist. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21; on 2026-10-21 a search for a lawful full text reached none, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Unpaywall and OpenAlex report it closed with no repository copy; Semantic Scholar lists no open PDF; the publisher’s copy is JSTOR’s, paywalled, and RePEc points only to it. Web searches for the title with “pdf” and restricted to .edu, and for a RAND-hosted copy, found commentary and no copy of the article: the Stigler Center’s “George Stigler 50 Years Later” (ProMarket, 2022), Carrigan and Coglianese’s handbook chapter, and Peltzman’s essays. No working-paper version was found. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, through library access or JSTOR. |
| LIT-1328 v2 | The grammar of being seen: Verification interfaces and the sociological cost of legibility in digital platform governance | Lan (2026). Argues, on the exchange’s account, that a platform’s standardized verification categories lower its own costs of verification while shifting the burden of fitting those categories onto the people and organizations required to become legible; conceptual rather than empirical. No abstract was available to check this against. | Unavailable — sought 2026-10-21 and no lawful full text reached, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar report it closed; Crossref lists Elsevier’s text-mining licence only and gives the pii S0308596126001679. The ScienceDirect page for that pii returned 403 to curl and to the WebFetch tool, and the Elsevier article API refused the request without a key (400). A web search for the title found no preprint or author copy (author Zihang Lan, ORCID 0009-0002-0017-6906, per Crossref). The summary therefore remains A25’s account, unchecked against even an abstract. |
| LIT-1329 v2 | Conceptualizing Epistemic Oppression | Dotson (2014). Epistemic oppression is persistent epistemic exclusion that hinders a person’s contribution to knowledge production; distinguishes three orders of it by what would be needed to change it, the third being irreducible exclusion that is supported by the resilience of the epistemological system itself and cannot be corrected from within it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21; a lawful full text was sought the same day and failed on access, not availability. The English original is closed (Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar; Taylor & Francis), and PhilArchive’s record holds no copy. A lawful French translation exists, “Conceptualiser l’oppression épistémique”, Recherches féministes 31(1), 2018 (doi:10.7202/1056239ar), open on Érudit, but Érudit returned a bot check to both script and fetch, and the Wayback Machine could not be reached through this client’s proxy. CORE refused the query (rate limit). It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied or Érudit can be reached. |
| LIT-1332 v2 | Framing: Toward Clarification of a Fractured Paradigm | Entman (1993). To frame is to select some aspects of a perceived reality and make them more salient in a text, so as to promote a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation and treatment recommendation; proposes this as the shared definition a scattered literature lacked. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-21 and not reached. Unpaywall and OpenAlex report the article closed; OpenAlex’s only other location is a CiteSeerX record, and CiteSeerX now redirects to the Wayback Machine, which this environment cannot reach. Semantic Scholar lists no open copy. The publisher’s page (academic.oup.com, Journal of Communication) returned 403.

A survey of the Soviet and Russian theory of reflexive control: conveying to an adversary information or premises chosen so that the adversary, by its own reasoning, voluntarily makes the decision the controlling side wants; traces the theory from Lefebvre’s work in the 1960s through its military uses. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-21; on 2026-10-21 a search for a lawful full text reached none, so it is not read and no NOTE is filed. Unpaywall, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar report it closed with no repository copy, and Taylor & Francis’s copy is paywalled. The author’s SelectedWorks page (works.bepress.com/tim-thomas, where a search result listed the item) returns Elsevier’s notice that SelectedWorks was discontinued in April 2025. No FMSO copy was found by search. A PDF at rit.edu (www.rit.edu/~w-cmmc/literature/Thomas_2004.pdf, cited in a procon.bg listing under an older path) did not connect; the Internet Archive holds a snapshot of 2022-10-09, but web.archive.org is blocked from this client, and that copy is a posting on a university course or conference page of uncertain licence, not the author’s or the publisher’s, so it would not have been used without a check. So the failure is on availability of a clearly lawful copy, and on access for the archived one. Thomas’s later open writing on the subject (the MITRE report Russian Military Thought, 2019, on DTIC) is a different work and was not read as a substitute. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. |
| LIT-1343 v2 | Brains in a vat | Putnam (1981). Argues that the hypothesis that we are, and always have been, brains in a vat is self-refuting: if reference needs a causal connection to what is referred to, an envatted brain’s words “brain” and “vat” do not refer to brains and vats, so it cannot truly think that it is a brain in a vat. | Unavailable — no lawful copy reached, 2026-10-22; failed on access. The book is in copyright and not open access (Unpaywall and OpenAlex: closed). Cambridge Core offers the chapter only behind “Get access”. The Internet Archive’s lending library holds the book (reasontruthhisto0000putn, access-restricted, borrowable with an account), which this client cannot borrow. PhilPapers returned 403. Two other Internet Archive items of the whole book sit in its user-upload “opensource” collection with no sign of the publisher’s permission, and were not used. The summary is the chapter’s standard reading, unchecked. Registered from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-21, “Experience and interpretation”. No NOTE is filed. |
| LIT-1349 v2 | Report-modulated prefrontal activity and consistent posterior representations during conscious visual perception | He, Zhang, Wang, Meng, Jiang, Xu, Wu, Sheng, Ye & Ding (2026). With report and no-report visual masking and MEG, posterior sensory regions encoded stimulus presence and category whether or not report was required, with stronger alpha-band recurrent coupling for visible stimuli, while prefrontal activity and fronto-posterior connectivity appeared only under report. The authors read this as favouring posterior accounts of phenomenal consciousness. | Unavailable — searched 2026-10-22, no lawful full text reached; it failed on availability. The article is a subscription article in Consciousness and Cognition: Unpaywall reports it closed with no open-access location, OpenAlex lists only the publisher and PubMed, Europe PMC marks it “Subscription required” and it is not in PMC, and Semantic Scholar has no open PDF. No preprint was found on searching Europe PMC’s preprint index and OSF preprints by title, or Semantic Scholar by title. The publisher’s page (ScienceDirect, PII S1053810026000838) returned 403 to this client. Only the PubMed abstract was read, and the summary agrees with it. No NOTE is filed. A copy from the owner, or from one of the two authors whose addresses PubMed gives (Zheng Ye, Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Xiaobin Ding, Northwest Normal University), would return it to reading. |
| LIT-1350 v2 | The explanatory ground of the brainbound view of consciousness: A reply to enactive embodied externalism | Villalobos & Cea (2026). Unread and unchecked: from the title and the exchange’s description only. A reply to enactive embodied externalism: the physiological implausibility of a disembodied brain does not defeat brain-centred explanation of consciousness, because the neuroscientific strategy is contrastive. Villalobos’s 2023 seminar abstract on the same topic argues that brain-bound internalism does not depend on brain and body being separable. | Unavailable — no copy reached, 2026-10-22; failed on availability. Unpaywall and OpenAlex record the article as closed, with no repository copy; Springer’s PDF and article page returned a bot challenge to this client; a web search, PhilPapers and PhilArchive (both 403 to this client) found no preprint or author copy. Not read, so the summary still follows the title and the exchange’s description and is unchecked. The nearest text found is the abstract of a 2023 seminar by Villalobos, “The enactive challenge to traditional neuroscience of consciousness: A critical review” (ArgLab, Lisbon, 29 May 2023), which argues that the enactive argument from the physiological inseparability of brain and body fails because the internalism of traditional neuroscience does not depend on that separability.

On Clive Wearing’s repeated claims, in his diary and in speech, that he has just become conscious for the first time, and his denial of earlier awareness when shown evidence of it; the paper weighs whether this is delusion, impaired consciousness or a coping strategy. | Unavailable — no lawful copy reached, 2026-10-22; failed on availability, as far as could be told.

Argues that modern financial economics did not only describe markets but changed them: an authoritative theory of option pricing gave derivatives legitimacy and was used to trade, so that prices came to fit the model. Standardly cited for its kinds of performativity, from generic (a model is used) through Barnesian (its use makes it truer) to counterperformativity (its use makes it less true), and for the 1987 crash as a case of the last. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-23, not read.

Groups mention common information about two standard deviations more than unique information, and hidden-profile groups are eight times less likely to find the correct solution than groups with full information. Pooling of unique information predicts decision quality (coverage more than discussion focus); communication medium affects neither pooling nor quality; group size, information load, the share of unique information, task demonstrability and profile strength moderate. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-23, not read.

Argues that free trade, not trade as such, promotes peace: removing protective barriers removes a foundation of domestic privilege that strengthens groups likely to support war, weakens free-trading interests that restrain aggression, and builds political support for the state’s war machine. Statistical tests show that higher levels of free trade, rather than trade alone, reduce military conflict between states, and the argument recasts World War I as consistent with commercial liberalism. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-23, not read.

Estimates the causal effect of international trade on interstate military conflict with global bilateral data, 1962–2014, using variation in trade from technological advances in air relative to maritime transport. More trade significantly reduces both the probability and the intensity of conflict, robustly across specifications and confounders; the authors relate this to decoupling, de-risking and protectionism. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-23, not read.

Proposes trade-expectations theory to reconcile liberal and realist views of interdependence: what matters is not the present level of trade but a state’s expectations of future trade. A highly dependent state that expects trade to continue has reason for peace; one that expects to be cut off has reason to fight while it still can, so high interdependence with negative expectations makes war likelier.

Tests the reciprocal relation between economic interdependence and interstate conflict, 1885–1992, with distributed-lag analyses. Economically important trade substantially reduces dyadic militarized disputes, especially fatal ones, even controlling for past conflict, and disputes in turn reduce trade. Democracy and shared membership in intergovernmental organizations also reduce conflict; there is little support for costly signals as the mechanism, no evidence that democratization raises disputes, and allies are not less conflict-prone. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-23, not read.

Per its publisher, it “contends that the corporation is created by law to function much like a psychopathic personality whose destructive behavior, if left unchecked, leads to scandal and ruin”. Per the Publishers Weekly review, the corporation is legally mandated to pursue its own self-interest, and so, in Bakan’s words, “can neither recognize nor act upon moral reasons to refrain from harming others”.

OpenAlex was not consulted (it refused requests without a key that day). Its theorem is read first-hand in Debreu’s Theory of Value, which the Cowles Foundation does post (LIT-1435, §4.6 and ch. 4 note 2). There Debreu proves the connected-separable case, credits that form to Eilenberg, and cites this paper for removing connectedness on second-countable spaces.

| LIT-1460 | Semiorders and a Theory of Utility Discrimination | Luce (1956), Econometrica 24(2):178–191. The paper that introduced semiorders: preference relations whose indifference need not be transitive, because differences below a threshold of discrimination go unnoticed. By its abstract, the class it axiomatizes is “substantially equivalent” to a utility theory with just-noticeable-difference functions. Unread: no lawful copy reached. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-23 from Crossref, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar list no open copy; JSTOR and the Econometric Society give the abstract only (the issue is not in JSTOR’s free early-journal content, which stops well before 1956); a web search found no author, course or repository posting. Filed because it is the paper that introduced the semiorder, the structure the record’s correction to CLAIM-436 turns on: a relation with a discrimination threshold whose indifference is not transitive. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-1464 | The Nature and Dynamics of Relevance and Valence Appraisals: Theoretical Advances and Recent Evidence | Scherer (2013), Emotion Review 5(2):150–162. Discusses three open issues in appraisal theory: varieties of relevance detection, varieties of valence appraisal, and the sequential-cumulative effects of appraisal results, with an update on research into the sequence of appraisal and emphasis on its nonverbal signatures. Unread: the varieties of valence are read in Shuman, Sander and Scherer 2013 (LIT-1458). | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-23 from Crossref, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. OpenAlex lists no open copy. The SAGE article page and PDF refused this client behind a bot check, and the journal is subscription-only. The University of Geneva’s Archive ouverte holds two other papers from the same issue with public access (the issue’s introduction by Moors, Ellsworth, Scherer and Frijda, and Scherer and Ellsworth’s reply), but no record of this one was found, and the Geneva E3 Lab’s publications page does not post it. A web search found no author or course posting. Its subject, the varieties of valence appraisal, is read first-hand in Shuman, Sander and Scherer’s “Levels of valence” (LIT-1458), published two months later. Filed because the record’s potential account needs the component process model’s distinction between kinds of valence. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-1467 | Pleasure: the common currency | Cabanac (1992), Journal of Theoretical Biology 155(2):173–200. On the PubMed abstract: physiologists have no common currency for comparing the strength of the drives behind different regulatory needs, yet an organism must rank its priorities when they conflict. Pleasure is proposed as that currency, measured by choice in animals and by rated pleasantness in humans, and trade-offs are made by maximizing it. Unread. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-23 from Crossref and PubMed, not read: no lawful full text could be reached. Looked for on 2026-10-23. OpenAlex records it as closed, with no repository copy. The publisher (Elsevier, Journal of Theoretical Biology) returned a 403 to this client, and no open-archive copy is offered. PubMed (PMID 12240693) carries the abstract only, and there is no PubMed Central record. A web search found no author-posted or institutional copy, only the later Ramírez and Cabanac abstract (2003). Unpaywall was not queried, because it requires an email address. The thesis is known here from the PubMed abstract and from citations in Berridge and Kringelbach 2015 (LIT-1459) and Kahneman, Wakker and Sarin 1997 (LIT-1448), which cite other Cabanac papers on alliesthesia. Filed because it is the standard source for pleasure as the common currency of motivational trade-offs, which CLAIM-440 recasts as an ordering.

| LIT-1469 | Feelings change: Accounting for individual differences in the temporal dynamics of affect | Kuppens, Oravecz & Tuerlinckx (2010), Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 99(6):1042–1060. DynAffect: individual differences in how feelings change over time come from three processes, an affective home base (“a baseline attractor state around which affect fluctuates”), variability in response to internal or external perturbation, and the attractor strength that ties affect back to the home base. Tested with a diffusion model in two experience-sampling studies of core affect, and related to personality and emotion dispositions. Unread beyond the abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-23 from Crossref and the PubMed abstract, not read: a lawful copy exists but this client could not fetch it. OpenAlex lists the article as closed (APA). A copy is posted on co-author Zita Oravecz’s University of California, Irvine site, apparently among course readings, but its certificate chain ends in a root this client does not trust, so the TLS connection failed. The fetch tool returned 503 for the same address. Failed on access, not availability. Filed for the record’s question of how to measure whether an ordering prevails and returns after interruption (QUESTION-268). DynAffect’s attractor strength, the pull that ties affect back to a home base after it is perturbed, is the nearest established operational measure of Frijda’s resumption mark, though it measures the return of an affective state, not of a ranking’s authority.

| LIT-1470 | Motivational trade-offs and potential pain experience in hermit crabs | Appel & Elwood (2009), Applied Animal Behaviour Science 119:120–124. Hermit crabs in preferred or less preferred shell species were given shocks “of gradually increasing intensity”. The first observable response did not depend on the shell, but crabs in preferred shells evacuated at a higher shock level. The authors read this as a trade-off between keeping a good shell and avoiding the noxious stimulus, consistent with pain rather than a nociceptive reflex. Unread beyond the abstract. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-23 from Crossref, not read beyond the abstract: no lawful full text could be reached. OpenAlex lists it as closed; Queen’s University Belfast’s research portal has the record and abstract but no file; the Elsevier article is paywalled. Filed with its companion (LIT-1450) because it is the hermit-crab study that varies the cost: shock rising until the crab leaves its shell, in preferred and less preferred shells. That is the nearest published design to the test CLAIM-435 proposes. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit. |
| LIT-1474 v3 | An Action-Based Model of Cognitive-Dissonance Processes | Harmon-Jones, Harmon-Jones & Levy (2015). The action-based model extends dissonance theory by saying why inconsistency causes dissonance and its reduction. Many perceptions and cognitions impel action; the negative state of dissonance arises not from all cognitive conflict but when cognitions with action implications conflict, making it hard to act. Dissonance signals that the inconsistency must be resolved so that behaviour can proceed. Behavioural and neuroscience tests of the model are reviewed. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turn U13; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on availability.

| LIT-1475 v3 | Cooperation under the Security Dilemma | Jervis (1978). Anarchy and the security dilemma, in which what increases one state’s security decreases another’s, make common interests hard to realize. Modelled as a Prisoner’s Dilemma, cooperation is likelier when the costs of being exploited and gains from exploiting are low, gains from mutual cooperation and costs of mutual defection are high, and each side expects the other to cooperate. The dilemma eases when defence has the advantage and defensive postures are distinguishable from offensive ones, giving four security worlds shaped by geography and technology. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turn U16; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on availability.

Fifty-four university students were randomly assigned to a 12-week DBT skills group or a positive psychotherapy group. In mediation models of borderline personality disorder symptoms, impulse control and access to emotion-regulation strategies mediated the effect of group, more strongly for DBT, as did acting with awareness among the mindfulness facets; the other mindfulness facets and distress tolerance did not. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turns U10 and U11; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on availability: no lawful full text was found.

| LIT-1493 v3 | When Effect Becomes Cause: Policy Feedback and Political Change | Pierson (1993). Public policies shape political change, but research on policy feedback has been anecdotal. Feedback works through two mechanisms: policies give political actors resources and incentives, and they give them information and cues that encourage particular interpretations of politics. Both act on government elites, interest groups and mass publics, and the article sets out a research agenda for general propositions on when policies are politically consequential. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turn U16; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on availability.

| LIT-1498 v3 | Behavior as information: “If I avoid, then there must be a danger” | Gangemi, Mancini & van den Hout (2012). Anxious participants (31 with obsessive-compulsive disorder, 22 with panic, 17 with social phobia) and 31 controls rated danger in scripts that varied objective danger and the presence of a safety behaviour. Anxious participants inferred danger from the safety behaviour as well as from objective information, while controls were influenced mainly by objective danger; the effect was disorder-specific for social phobia and OCD. Taking one’s own safety behaviour as evidence of danger may maintain anxiety. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 from the owner’s exchange of 2026-10-23/24, shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/6adc1ece-bb28-83e9-a8f6-cadf0f8b7113, where it is cited at turn U15; a reading was attempted on 2026-10-24 and failed on availability: no lawful full text was found.

| LIT-1502 v2 | A Bayesian Truth Serum for Subjective Data | Prelec (2004). A scoring method for subjective reports where objective truth is unknowable: each respondent gives an answer and a prediction of how others will answer, and answers score high not for being common but for being more common than the same population collectively predicted. By the abstract, this removes the bias toward consensus, so that a truthful answer maximizes expected score even for a respondent who believes hers is a minority view. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 for the owner’s question of how the record stands on multi-agent learning, as the second founding scoring rule for subjective reports without ground truth; a reading was attempted the same day and failed on availability.

| LIT-1515 | Optimal Payoff Functions for Members of Collectives | Wolpert & Tumer (2001). Members of a collective each maximise a private payoff utility; the design question is which payoffs make the members’ success yield a high provided world utility. Against the “team game”, which gives each member the world utility, the paper uses “a novel mathematical framework” to review the class of payoffs that are easy to maximise and aligned with the world utility, the Aristocrat Utility and a new variant of the Wonderful Life Utility, and reports experiments in which they beat earlier COIN utilities, the team game and “perhaps the most natural version” of endogenizing externalities (abstract, RePEc). | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-24 for difference rewards (the Wonderful Life Utility); a reading was attempted the same day and failed on access to a lawful copy.

| LIT-1614 v2 | Republicanism: A Theory of Freedom and Government | Pettit (1997). Freedom is non-domination: not being subject to another’s capacity to interfere arbitrarily, whether or not they interfere; a republic secures it through institutions that make public power contestable by those it affects. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1615 v2 | The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change? Third Edition | Rosenberg (2023, 3rd ed.). The “constrained court” view: courts produce significant social reform only when other institutions, political actors and conditions already support it, so a judicial victory is not by itself a change in practice. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1616 v2 | Deletional bias and the evolution of bacterial genomes | Mira, Ochman & Moran (2001). Bacterial genomes stay small and free of nonfunctional DNA because deletions outnumber insertions. In obligate parasites and symbionts, where selection is too weak to maintain genes, genome reduction comes from relaxed selection on gene function, not from selection to lose DNA. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1617 v2 | Host–symbiont conflict over the mixing of symbiotic lineages | Frank (1996a). Symbionts favour dispersal to escape competition with relatives; mixing of symbiont lineages breeds competition and virulence; hosts are favoured to restrict mixing. But a host modifier that reduces mixing spreads only when it is directly associated with reduced virulence, a condition taken from Hoekstra’s work on uniparental inheritance and extended across symbiont life histories. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1620 v2 | How a plantation became paradise: changing representations of the homeland among displaced Chagos islanders | Jeffery (2007). Compares songs composed in Chagos with songs composed in exile, and reads how a plantation society came to be represented as a lost paradise in a standardized collective narrative that helped political mobilization; as the exchange reported it, the standardization also complicated legal claims. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1632 v2 | The renormalization group: Critical phenomena and the Kondo problem | Wilson (1975). The renormalization group treats problems with many coupled scales by eliminating degrees of freedom scale by scale and following the flow of effective couplings; near fixed points most couplings are irrelevant, which explains universality in critical phenomena, and the method solves the Kondo problem. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1636 v2 | The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency, and Science | Pickering (1995). Scientific practice is a mangle of human and material agency: researchers’ goals and machines meet resistance, which practitioners accommodate by revising goals, instruments and interpretations, and the outcome of the dialectic of resistance and accommodation is emergent in time. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1637 v2 | The Scientific Image | van Fraassen (1980). Constructive empiricism: science aims at theories that are empirically adequate, true about what is observable, and accepting a theory involves only the belief that it is; commitment to the theory’s unobservable entities or structure is not required, and explanation is a pragmatic virtue, not evidence of truth. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1641 v2 | Realism for Realistic People: A New Pragmatist Philosophy of Science | Chang (2022). A pragmatist realism built on epistemic activities rather than propositions: knowledge is the ability to carry out coherent activities, operational coherence is the mark of success, and realism is a commitment to keep inquiry open to what resists it. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1643 v2 | Belief, awareness, and limited reasoning | Fagin & Halpern (1987). Logics of explicit and implicit belief that avoid logical omniscience by adding an awareness operator: an agent explicitly believes only what it implicitly believes and is aware of, so a proposition built from concepts the agent lacks cannot be explicitly entertained. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1645 v2 | Logic: The Theory of Inquiry | Dewey (1938). Inquiry is “the controlled or directed transformation of an indeterminate situation into one that is so determinate in its constituent distinctions and relations as to convert the elements of the original situation into a unified whole”; recognizing that a situation is problematic and formulating the problem are themselves stages of inquiry, and hypotheses are operational proposals tested by the changes they make. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1648 v2 | Individuation in Light of Notions of Form and Information | Simondon (1958; English 2020). Individuation is to be explained before individuals: from a metastable preindividual field charged with potentials, an individual forms by transduction, a structuring that propagates step by step, each structured region the condition for the next, as in crystallization. An individual is a partial resolution of the field and keeps a charge of preindividual reality, so individuation can continue. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1650 v2 | The looping effects of human kinds | Hacking (1995). Human kinds differ from natural kinds in that classifying people changes them: those classified, aware of the classification, change how they behave and see themselves, and the kind’s description must then change, a looping effect between a classification and what it classifies. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1651 v2 | An Autobiography | Collingwood (1939). Chapter V sets out a “logic of question and answer”: a proposition cannot be understood, or judged true or false, apart from the question it was meant to answer, and every question rests on presuppositions; what one inquiry establishes as an answer can become a presupposition of the next. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1653 v2 | Posthumanist Performativity: Toward an Understanding of How Matter Comes to Matter | Barad (2003). The short statement of agential realism: phenomena, not independent objects, are the primary ontological units; relata do not precede the intra-actions through which they become determinate; apparatuses are open-ended material-discursive practices that enact agential cuts, making some boundaries and properties determinate within a phenomenon and excluding others. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1656 v2 | Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living | Maturana & Varela (1980). A living system is an autopoietic machine: a network of processes producing the components that, through their interactions, regenerate the network and constitute it as a unity in space. Organization (the relations that define the unity) is distinguished from structure (the components realizing it), and cognition is identified with the process of living. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1657 v2 | Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning | Barad (2007). The full development of agential realism from Bohr’s philosophy-physics: the inseparability of object and agencies of observation read as ontological, not epistemic; phenomena as the primary units; apparatuses as boundary-making practices that are themselves phenomena; agential separability as exteriority within phenomena; and ethico-onto-epistem-ology, on which practices of knowing are part of the world’s becoming and carry responsibility for the cuts they enact. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1660 v2 | The Behavioral Approach to Open and Interconnected Systems | Willems (2007). A dynamical system is its behavior, the set of trajectories its laws allow; inputs and outputs are not assumed; systems are interconnected by sharing variables and imposing constraints on them, and modelling proceeds by tearing a system into parts, zooming into each and linking them again. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1664 v2 | Statistical theory of the decay of metastable states | Langer (1969). The decay rate of a metastable state is computed from the statistical mechanics of the saddle-point configuration (the critical nucleus) separating it from the stable phase, giving a field- theoretic basis for nucleation rates. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1665 v2 | Toward a History of Epistemic Things: Synthesizing Proteins in the Test Tube | Rheinberger (1997). Research proceeds through experimental systems in which epistemic things, the still-vague objects under investigation, are made accessible by technical objects, the stabilized instruments and procedures; the two roles are not fixed, so an epistemic thing can become a technical object and a technical object can become an epistemic thing again. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1667 v2 | Articulating Reasons: An Introduction to Inferentialism | Brandom (2000). The short introduction to inferentialism: conceptual content is explained by the inferences a claim figures in, what would entitle one to it, what it commits one to and what it is incompatible with; asserting is a move in a game of giving and asking for reasons, tracked by deontic scorekeeping; logical vocabulary makes those inferential commitments explicit. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1671 v2 | Slaving principle revisited | Haken (1996). Near an instability the few modes whose damping goes to zero become slow order parameters, and the many stable modes are enslaved to them, expressible as functions of the order parameters, so the dynamics reduce to order-parameter equations; the paper restates the principle and its derivation. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-27, not read.

| LIT-1679 | Cultural Trauma and Collective Identity | Alexander et al. (2004). Cultural trauma is not the direct effect of an event but a social construction: carrier groups narrate an event as a fundamental injury to a collective’s identity, and the claim succeeds when a wider audience takes it up. Cases include the Holocaust, slavery in African-American identity (Eyerman), and Germany after Nazism. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-29; reading attempted the same day, no lawful copy reached.

Experiments (two, by the SEP’s account, LIT-1729) found empathy-induced helping was not explained by perceived self-other merging: empathy predicted helping with merging controlled, and merging did not mediate it, supporting the empathy-altruism hypothesis that empathic concern evokes genuinely other-directed motivation. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-29; reading attempted the same day, no lawful copy reached.

The founding statement of self-categorization theory: personal and social identity are levels of self-categorization, a category becomes salient by meta-contrast and fit, and group behaviour follows from depersonalization, self-perception as an interchangeable exemplar of the ingroup prototype, rather than from attraction or interdependence among members. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-28; reading attempted the same day, no lawful copy reached.

As read here at second hand (LIT-1911, LIT-1901): information is the meaning that arises when an individuation resolves a disparity between two domains; affectivity and emotion mark a subject’s encounter with the pre-individual charge it has not exhausted, which it resolves by joining a collective, the transindividual. Unread. | Unavailable — filed 2026-10-31, not read. The book is in copyright and sold by its publisher, and no lawful free copy is known. Open Library lists the 1989 and 2007 Aubier printings with no e-book. An Internet Archive search for creator Simondon found only other works (On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects, and a school text). OpenAlex was out of its daily budget for this client.

| LIT-1903 | The concept of transduction and its use in organization studies | Styhre (2010), Emergence: Complexity and Organization 12(3). Presents Simondon’s transduction “as a generalized model for the individuation of entities, that is, when heterogeneous resources are brought together and temporarily stabilized into functional units”, and uses it to examine Schatzki’s “site of the social” and Czarniawska’s “action nets”.

| LIT-1904 | The Lesser Existences: Étienne Souriau, an Aesthetics for the Virtual | Lapoujade (2017; English 2021). As usually described, a reading of Étienne Souriau’s philosophy of the plural modes of existence, centred on “lesser existences”: beings whose existence is incomplete or precarious and must be made more real.

| LIT-1907 | Politics of Affect | Massumi (2015), Polity. Six interviews (2002–2014) on affect and politics. Affect is the capacity to affect and be affected, a felt transition in a body’s capacities; the book builds on it “differential affective attunement”, “collective individuation”, “micropolitics” and “ontopower”. Unread beyond the publisher’s sample; its ch. 2 is read in its first printing, LIT-1905. | Unavailable — registered 2026-10-31, not read: no lawful full text was found.

| LIT-1915 | Simondon: investigating the pre-organizational | Letiche & Moriceau (2016; print 2017), the introduction to a Culture and Organization special issue on Simondon. Their abstract reads Simondon as “more a thinker of transindividuation than of individuation”, with transduction as an impersonal “life-force” of becoming of which “No one in particular is the subject”. It warns that transduction “would seem to escape the individual and/or collective will – becoming an all-important life-force outside political or ethical control”, and that Simondon’s ontology “needs to be debated”.

| LIT-1917 | Having to be: The possessive constitution of organization | Bencherki & Cooren (2011), Human Relations 64:1579–1607. Organizations act by being attributed actions: through the imbrication of mandates and programs of action, in a logic of appropriation and attribution, the organization acts while always relying on others to act for it, which reconciles “the organization acts itself” with “agents act on its behalf”. Grounded in meetings of a community organization, with Greimas’s narratology.

| LIT-1921 | From Modern to Postmodern Organizational Analysis | Chia (1995). What divides postmodern from modern organizational analysis is a style of thinking, not an epoch or a paradigm. Modernist thought rests on a “strong” ontology of being, of discrete states, static attributes and sequential events. Postmodern thought rests on a “weak” ontology of becoming, so it studies “local assemblages of ‘organizings’” rather than organizations, individuals and structures.

The companion Nature article (Szathmáry and Maynard Smith 1995, doi:10.1038/374227a0) is closed as well. A copy the owner supplies returns it to reading. |
